Bonk - The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex [H33t]

The study of sexual physiology – what happens, and why, and how to make
it happen better – 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 Kinsey’s attic.

Mary Roach, “The funniest science writer in the country” (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 doesn’t Viagra help women – 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.
