The study of sexual physiologyâwhat happens, and why, and how to make it happen betterâhas been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinseyâs attic.Mary Roach, âThe funniest science writer in the countryâ (Burkhard Bilger of The New Yorker), devoted the past two years to stepping behind those doors. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Why doesnât Viagra help womenâor, for that matter, pandas? In Bonk, Roach shows us how and why sexual arousal and orgasmâtwo of the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earthâcan be so hard to achieve and what science is doing to slowly make the bedroom a more satisfying place.
