What this book is about
Mary Roach investigates the science of sex: the researchers who have studied it, the historical experiments that tried to understand it, and the surprising discoveries that resulted. Written with Roach's characteristic combination of deep curiosity, rigorous research, and laugh-out-loud humor. Explicit in its scientific subject matter, never prurient.
