Download Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex AudioBook Free
The study of sexual physiology - what happens, and just why, and how to make it happen better - is a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The study has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinseys attic.
Mary Roach, The funniest science writer in the country (Burkhard Bilger of THE BRAND NEW Yorker), devoted the past 2 yrs to stepping behind those doors. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal climax a myth? Why doesnt Viagra help women - or, for example, pandas? In Bonk, Roach shows us how and just why sexual arousal and orgasm - two of the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earth - can be so hard to accomplish and what science does to slowly make the bed room a more satisfying place.
