Description

In Bonk, the best-selling author of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and insight on the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Why doesn't Viagra help 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 the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earth—can be so hard to achieve and what science is doing to make the bedroom a more satisfying place.

Critic Reviews

“"Roll over, Kinsey. Mary Roach has done it again.... Bonk proves that full-bodied research can be riveting."”

"Roach ferrets out basic truths and endless absurd details amid mountains of dry science on her chosen subject. . . . It’s a wonderful read, sprinkled with facts you can quote to amaze your friends." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter. . . . A greatly satisfying romp." -- New York Times Book Review
"Roll over, Kinsey. Mary Roach has done it again.... Bonk proves that full-bodied research can be riveting." -- O, The The Oprah Magazine
"Roach is a fearless and witty reporter." -- Wall Street Journal
"[An] account that is at once revealing—alarmingly so—and very very funny. She studs (forgive me) her journey with a multitude of knee-crossing bits of fact that will enliven bedtime conversation everywhere." -- Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City
