Bonk


Bonk made me lough, many times! Hysterically. Mary Roach has this flair for hilarious comparisons and examples that make the book an excellent read. Especially, if the subject is the science of sex. When the theorization of orgasms, impotence, sex-toys and sex research is offered as a fresh insight into what is going on under the sheets, humor makes the topic more accessible for even those of us who would dismiss the possible coupling of sex and science.

“The paper does not provide the exact number of penises eaten by ducks, but the author says there have been enough over the years to prompt the coining of a popular saying: 'I better get home or the ducks will have something to eat."

“That's what primate sex hormones do: “They make individuals perceive other individuals as more attractive than they'd normally perceive them”. Hormones are nature's three bottles of beer”
