Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality by Jared Diamond

3.0

It’s embarrassing how long this book has been on my “to read” list. Not my Goodreads to read list, but my “I actually own this book because I intend to read it” to read list. Anyway, I finally got around to it and though I’m unsure how some of this research has been updated it was a compelling read. Short and sweet. The title is the most scintillating thing about it (publishers are still trying to sell books I suppose). My favorite chapter explored theories on female menopause (SPOILER: it has to do with the importance of elders in pre-literate human societies).
