Description

In What Do Women Want? Adventures in the Science of Female Desire, critically acclaimed journalist Daniel Bergne disseminates the up to date scientific research and paints an unprecedented portrait of female lust: the triggers, the fantasies, the mind-body connection (and disconnection), the reasons in the back of the loss of libido, and, most revelatory, that this loss isn’t inevitable.

Bergner asks: Are women in fact the less monogamous gender? Do women actually crave intimacy and emotional connection? Are women more disposed to sex with strangers and a couple of pairings than either science or society have ever let on? And is “the fairer sex” in fact more sexually aggressive and anarchic than men?

While debunking the myths popularized by evolutionary psychology, Bergner also looks at the way forward for female sexuality. Pharmaceutical companies are pouring billions of dollars to develop a “Viagra” for women. But will it ever be released? Or are we not yet ready for a world in which women can change into aroused at the simple popping of a pill?

Insightful and illuminating, What Do Women Want? is a deeper exploration of Daniel Bergner’s provocative New York Times Magazine cover story; it is going to spark dynamic debates and discussions for future years.
