Mary Roach – Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science & SexQuote:Few things are as fundamental to human happiness as sex, and few writers are as entertaining about the subject as Mary Roach. Can a woman think herself to orgasm? Is your penis three inches longer than you think? Why doesn’t Viagra help women – or, for that matter, pandas? Does orgasm boost fertility? Or cure hiccups? The study of sexual physiology – what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better – has been taking place behind closed doors for hundreds of years. In this fascinating and funny book, Mary Roach steps inside laboratories, brothels, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs – even Alfred Kinsey’s attic – to tell us everything we wanted to know about sex, and a lot we’d never even thought to ask.Open for everyoneNumber of pages: 321Year of publication: 2008Url: https://www.amazon.com/Bonk-Curious-Coupling-Sex-Science-ebo…Quote:   * New York Times Top 10 Bestseller   * San Francisco Chronicle #1 Bestseller   * Booksense Independent Bestseller   * New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice   * Publisher’s Weekly 2008 Staff Picks   * San Francisco Chronicle Best Books of 2008   * St. Louis Post-Dispatch Best Books of 2008   * Boston Sunday Globe Top 5 Science Books   * Seed magazine, Outstanding Books of 2008Amazon rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars (570 reviews)Amazon 5 star review wrote:I absolutely love this book and I absolutely love Mary Roach. It’s a great excuse to not only learn but get in a few immature giggles, too. Mary does a great job of using humor to enhance the material of her book instead of overshadowing it. You’ll learn so much about a topic many people [ahem] participate in but may not know a lot about. My favorite part was when she discusses an experiment involving sex and an MRI machine. I won’t spoil it for you – you’ll have to read the book!Amazon 5 star review wrote:This has to be the funniest book I have ever read, and very informative also. It is not for the prudish though, I gave a copy to several friends. One found nothing funny about it at all because sex was not to be discussed openly, while another could not read it because he was recovering from triple by-pass surgery and all of the laughing was hurting too much.Amazon 5 star review wrote:I’m 70…..why wasn’t this book around earlier when I could have made more use of it. Excellent, funny, thrilling, terrifying foray into the world of human sexuality. Really worth reading…..explains sooooooo much. Thank you Mary Roach.Book recommended by dr Jack Kruse.May you find peace, LOVE and prosperity,Aeon
