Read from August 18 to September 06, 2010

This is perhaps not the best book to have put on audio cd. Today as I pulled in to the parking garage and the words orgasm and clitoris were being said loudly, I quickly snapped it off hoping my coworkers in the garage couldn't hear. But it is very interesting so far.

9/6/10: I enjoyed this book. At times it was somewhat explicit. At others it lingered on certain topics for too long. But it was interesting to see that due to morality and people's general uptight treatment of sex, it has not been well studied and what we know about it is the bare minimum.

The reader was somewhat soft spoken and kind of sounded funny reading the punny and sarcastic comments the author puts at the end of somewhat heavy chapters. And it drives me crazy that she pronounced the word coitous as "coe-it-us" instead of "coy-tus". As you can imagine, she used this word quite frequently.
