The Curious Coupling Of Sex And Science

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'When Mary Roach is seized by a subject, there is no stopping her: she is full-on, hands-on, and her lab coat is unbuttoned.'
The Times

The study of sexual physiology - what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better - has been taking place behind closed doors for many hundreds of years. In this fascinating and funny book Mary Roach steps inside laboratories, brothels, pig farms, sex toy labs - even into Alfred Kinsey's attic - to tell us everything we wanted to know about sex, and a lot we'd never even thought to ask.

'In this terrifically witty, hugely engaging study of the way we love, Mary Roach does meet some real oddballs, and on almost every page she tells you something to make you gasp aloud or snort with laughter.'
Daily Telegraph

'Roach puts her quick wit to good service in this entertaining romp through sex research. Her unshockability is contagious, and ultimately reassuring.'
Independent

'The pithiest, wittiest writer on the subject since Woody Allen.'
Saga
