This was like cup of cocoa sex. Sex is always good but sometimes you can't help hoping it will be over soon and you can have a cup of cocoa, maybe with cream. Marshmallows even. Maybe a sprinkle of cinnamom and some grated chocolate curls. Oh there I go, mind drifted off.
Read 13 Dec. 2013 and forgotten about until now. Now what was it reminded me. Friday night. Hopeful. And if not... there is always cocoa. ...more

Previously I gave no thought to sex researchers. It seems like an awkward and difficult task to be able to take such research seriously and get funding for your work.
As always, Mary Roach’s research and stories were interesting and entertaining. She always finds fun little side stories to investigate.

Excellent book that explores what research has been done on sex, and the vast amount of what we do not understand about the subject.
The author approaches uncomfortable topics candidly and humorously at times.
I would have like a bit more time spent on conclusions but other than that I enjoyed it a lot.
Also, if you are uncomfortable with frank and explicit discussion about sex, I would stay away from this book.

I really enjoyed Stiff, so I thought I'd enjoy this too, but truth be told I found it boring and gave up maybe 1/3rd way through. Yawn.
