Mary Roach, "the funniest science writer in the country" (Burkhard Bilger of The New Yorker), devoted the past two years to stepping behind those doors. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Why doesn't Viagra help women or, for that matter, pandas? In Bonk, 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 slowly make the bedroom a more satisfying place. 16 illustrations.]]> 7956 3.87 20060 4561 2008 4 9 false Wed Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 15:33:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 15:34:48 -0700 2008 more...]]>
