Mary Roach
A New York Times Bestseller "Rich in dexterous innuendo, laugh-out-loud humor and illuminating fact. It’s compulsively readable." —Los Angeles Times Book Review In Bonk, the best-selling author of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and insight on the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Why doesn't Viagra help women—or, for that matter, pandas? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Mary 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 make the bedroom a more satisfying place.

"Mary Roach is one of my favorite science writers. She's not afraid to try anything or go anywhere to get the scoop on her subject. This is the third book that she's written & I recommend the others, "Spook" & "Stiff"."

"<strong>A Fascinating Look Back at the History of Sex</strong><br/><br/>This book takes an inviting and fun tone towards sex and the taboos of sexual behavior. The book is informative, but not written in a way that is boring or dry. It's also really interesting to see how the author threw herself into the research and participated in some of the studies she talked about. Very good book!"
