Book description
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.
