Fascinating stuff on why we're attracted to some people and not others (often for genetic reasons); and all this other cool genetic stuff.

I didn't like how it seemed to ramble all over the place. Perhaps it was how it was formatted for Kindle version but topics seemed to digress into other topics before coming to coming back to the original one. There weren't even headings to separate sections. It was a bit hard to follow.

Part of my reading series: Marriage: A History and Birth... not as good, though.... next I'm trying Mary Roach's version, Bonk, which I am certain will be far more entertaining...

Pretty good overview of the basics of sex education. Seems like a good book as a starting point. Begin to learn about protection, STI's, a bit of history, biology, and chemistry.

A bit of a slow read, as it is full of scientific jargon, but fascinating nonetheless. Full of interesting tidbits and information, written in a style that is both scientific and medical, but also easy to understand.

A good survey of the science of sex.
However, the only thing I really learned is how adept I am at filling my head with useless science trivia. I don't think there was anything other than maybe some 2007 or 2008 research that I hadn't already heard about.

Had a friend recommend this who likes nonfiction books that describe how and why different body process work and happen. This broke down what is going on in male and female bodies and in various animals. The most fascinating parts were when animal processes were described and explained and how similar to humans they are (duh we are animals too.) This books discusses more studies and scientists, psychologists, other research professionals than I can count. Basically this book is what an anatomy or medical class would discuss when talking about the two sexes and the evolutionary push for sex.

Quite a lot to learn about human sex as an act, behaviour, evolutionary motivation and problems, and the book delivers.
