“I don’t read more than a few non-fiction books a year, but this was recommended to us by my husband’s coworker, so I agreed to give it a listen. It was quite entertaining! The book isn’t about sex as much as it is about sex research, discussing the works of well-known researchers such as Kinsey and Masters and Johnson as well as lesser known researchers. One chapter discussed Dr. Ahmed Shafik, a researcher living in Cairo. It was interesting to see what he must to do get his research done in a country where even talking about sex on TV is still taboo. I also thought the information on how sexual stimulation and orgasm can help patients that have MS or are paralyzed was quite fascinating. Roach has a great sense of humor, making this an enjoyable read. I plan to check out her other two books, Stiff (about cadavers) and Spook (about ghosts).”
