How Sex Works: Why We Look, Smell, Taste, Feel, and Act the Way We Do Audiobook

" A good overview of sex and things related to sex. It did suffer from being too much of an overview. The book isn't long and is in larger print. Besides all that, it was an interesting and humorous book that still managed to be informative. "

" This was a very interesting short book on the subject of sex. While some of the newest research I have already read before thanks to the news media, there was enough in there that was new or obscure to keep my interest. A good coffee table book or something to check out from the library. "

" A bit of a slow read, as it is full of scientific jargon, but fascinating nonetheless. Full of interesting tidbits and information, written in a style that is both scientific and medical, but also easy to understand. "

" Fascinating stuff on why we're attracted to some people and not others (often for genetic reasons); and all this other cool genetic stuff. "

" meh. if u've seen the tv shows on Discovery Health and TLC channels, then this is all that exact information, and the same studies but in print. still interesting, but it was much more fun to watch the tv science programs. "

" "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." "

" Enjoying it so far. Fascinated by how our bodies process chemicals and hormones. "

" This book was a pretty interesting summary of research into human sexuality through the lens of evolutionary biology. Very scientific and matter of fact discussion of one of the most basic human functions. "

" Stuff I didn't learn in sex ed, and new stuff unknown in my days of sex ed. A fascinating read. "

" Unfortunate title, and not really what the book is about. It is all about reproductive biology (mainly human.) Though you learn lots of interesting tidbits, the author never really delves too deeply in any of the many subjects covered in each chapter. "

" a fun, fast read about the evolutionary biology of sex. like, 'the red queen' with less science and more titillation and pop culture references. really useful stuff on fertility, etc., in here. i can see myself referring to this should i ever catch the baby bug. "

" Cleverly written and amazingly enlightening! "

" It was very informative on different animals and the weird and creepy things that they do. Definitely one that is a good reader. "

" I had previously taken a Health and Sexuality class in college. A lot of the information in the book was covered then, but the author did a good job of presenting the material and keeping the tone light and easy. "

" I thought this book was very interesting and informative. "

" Fascinating book that relates human sexuality to the world beyond human society. Evolutionary biology has the potential to help us understand our own inclinations as a species. "

" A few interesting facts hidden in meandering and pointless chapters. "

" Excellent scientific book for public education "

" Enjoyable and easy to read. Plus, you'll learn an interesting thing or two. "

" A collection of (almost) random scientific (or quasiscientific) facts about sex arbitrary divided into chapters. Not to mention, nothing new. If you're following popular science news don't waste your time on it. "

" Despite some funny and interesting parts, the author (who I discovered was a 'he' and not a 'she' about half-way through the book) liked to play fast and loose with statistics - lost a lot of credibility, so much so I had a hard time finishing the book. "

" Part of my reading series: Marriage: A History and Birth... not as good, though.... next I'm trying Mary Roach's version, Bonk, which I am certain will be far more entertaining... "

" Very interesting read. Sex, attraction, monogamy, puberty, etc. are all approached from a purely clinical and research based perspective. "

" A quick, easy and interesting read. Especially interesting was the discussion about female ejaculation. Worth reading. "

" Docetl jsem již dávno a nic si z toho nepamatuju - nezaujalo. Snad je to, jaká nuda se dá udelat z tématu, které, co si budeme povídat, zajímá každého. "

" the interesting and informative portions of this book would have been better conveyed through a 1-page bulleted memo. too long and full of dickensian filler. "

" This is an excellent starter book on the subject. Dr. Moalem has a great talent for communicating complex ideas in a way that make them not at all intimidating. "

" Cleverly written and amazingly enlightening! "
