Why are women biologically driven to find Mr. Tall,
Dark, and Handsome?
Can more sex help ensure a safe pregnancy?
What effect does pornography have on a man's fertility?
In this compelling follow-up to the New York Times
bestseller Survival of the Sickest, Dr. Sharon Moalem
takes us on a trip from prehistory to the forefront of
cutting-edge medical research, and through a bedroom or
two, to tell the story of how human sexuality has
developed over time. How Sex Works challenges common
perceptions about our bodies and provides astonishing
discoveries from the frontiers of science as it traces
the transformation of sex across species and through
time to its current role in human societies. Find out the answers to such provocative questions as:
Can the birth control pill influence the type of men
women are attracted to?
What do men and honeybees have in common when it comes
to sex?
Why do hourglass-shaped women tend to be especially
fertile?
When are women most likely to cheat?
Can twins have different fathers? From the composition and function of human sex organs to
the fascinating biochemistry behind sexual attraction,
How Sex Works presents captivating new ideas and
surprising answers to questions about contraception,
fertility, circumcision, menopause, STDs, homosexuality,
orgasms, and more. This is an entertaining,
comprehensive exploration of culture, biology, and
history that takes us far beyond our common
understanding of sex.
