An unparalleled exploration of the mysteries underlying
women’s sexuality that rivals the culture-shifting Kinsey
Report, from two of America’s leading research psychologists
Do women have sex simply to reproduce or display their
affection? When University of Texas at Austin clinical
psychologist Cindy M. Meston and evolutionary psychologist
David M. Buss joined forces to investigate the underlying
sexual motivations of women, what they found astonished
them.Through the voices of real women, Meston and Buss
reveal the motivations that guide women’s sexual decisions
and explain the deep-seated psychology and biology that
often unwittingly drive women’s desires—sometimes in pursuit
of health or pleasure, or sometimes for darker, disturbing
reasons that a woman may not fully recognize. Drawing on
more than a thousand intensive interviews conducted solely
for the book, as well as their pioneering research on
physiological response and evolutionary emotions, Why Women
Have Sex uncovers an amazingly complex and nuanced portrait
of female sexuality. They delve into the use of sex as a
defensive tactic against a mate’s infidelity (protection),
as a ploy to boost self-confidence (status), as a barter for
gifts or household chores (resource acquisition), or as a
cure for a migraine headache (medication). Why Women Have
Sex stands as the richest and deepest psychological
understanding of female sexuality yet achieved and promises
to inform every woman’s (and her partner’s) awareness of her
relationship to sex and her sexuality.
