A New York Times Bestseller
“Wealthy in dexterous innuendo, laugh-out-loud humor and illuminating fact. It’s compulsively readable.” ―Los Angeles Times Book Review
In ?Bonk, ?the most productive-selling writer of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and insight at the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex. Can an individual think herself to orgasm? Why doesn’t Viagra lend a hand women-or, for that matter, pandas? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Mary Roach shows us how and why sexual arousal and orgasm-two of probably the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on the planet-may also be so hard to succeed in and what science is doing to make the bedroom a more satisfying place. 16 illustrations
