I am a huge fan of Mary Roach. This book doesn't disappoint. She covers everything from female orgasm to erectile disfuntion cures. As usual her chapters are informative and funny. I found myself laughing outloud many time through the book. I can honestly say I also learned a few things about how the body works and why. This is not a sex manual just about what science has discovered and how they go about it.
I enjoyed reading this book. I read it more for entertainment and hoping to learn some. I found many of the facts to not only be intersting but a tad disturbing as well. I believe if someone can have an open mind and are willing to take science for science sake, this book is a good read. She made the usually awkward topic feel comfortable and did so in a humorous sort of way.
Our book club enjoyed parts of this book. We thought it started off well and the final chapters were interesting, but in the middle it seemed to simply be a collection of the weirdest, most sensational and graphic stories Roach could find. Some members didn't make it all the way through because of this.
