Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

The study of sexual physiology â€“ what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better â€“ has been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinseyâ€™s attic.

Mary Roach, â€œThe funniest science writer in the countryâ€ (Burkhard Bilger of The New Yorker), devoted the past two years to stepping behind those doors. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Why doesnâ€™t Viagra help women â€“ or, for that matter, pandas? In Bonk, Roach shows us how and why sexual arousal and orgasm - two of the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earth - can be so hard to achieve and what science is doing to slowly make the bedroom a more satisfying place.
