A brief look on humans and life through the reason for them.
The one idea that I think would stick with me for a long time is: "There would be so much less to do without sex. The greater part of our economy would be meaningless without sex as a driving force or an organizing principle.”

Loved this very last sentence: "When every contemptuous but fair thing has been said about our infernal sexual desires, we can still celebrate them for not allowing us to forget for more than a few days at a time what is really involved in living an embodied, chemical and largely insane human life."

The book touches on interesting topics and a different perspective on sex, but its vocabulary and way of explaining things is often too convoluted and overly philosophical to the point that it may alienate readers
