Here’s a bit more about what’s between the sheets:
It smells like sex. I couldn’t shake that somewhat disturbing thought as I floated at the surface watching the moonlight glisten off the ever-widening slick—the residue of the night’s intimacy. The distinct, musty odor was undeniable. I guess I shouldn’t have been so surprised—after all, I had just spent the past two hours watching corals spawn. But that event looked so unlike sex, I never expected the aftermath to smell like it. As I pulled strands of mucus-y coral goo out of my hair, I caught the eye of the other researchers similarly engaged in de-spawning themselves. We smiled at one another with a knowing look. There is a certain level of bonding that occurs when floating amidst the leftovers of one of nature’s biggest orgies.

Forget the Kama Sutra. When it comes to inventive sex acts, just look to the sea. There we find elaborate mating rituals of armored lobsters; giant right whales engaging in a lively threesome; full moon sex parties of groupers and daily mating blitzes by wrasse. Deep-sea squid perform inverted 69s, while hermaphrodite sea slugs link up in giant sex loops. From doubly endowed sharks to the maze-like vaginas of some whales, SEX IN THE SEA is a journey unlike any other to explore the staggering ways life begets life beneath the waves.
A colorful window into the kinky and diverse world of sex under the sea, SEX IN THE SEA has a noble intent. Beyond a deliciously voyeuristic excursion, this book uniquely connects the timeless topic of sex with the timely issue of sustainable oceans. Through overfishing, climate change, and pollution we are disrupting the creative procreation that drives the wild abundance of sea life we all rely upon. With wit and scientific rigor, Hardt introduces us to the wet and wild sex lives of ocean life and the innovative solutions that promote rather than prevent, successful sex in the sea. Part science, part erotica, SEX IN THE SEA discusses how we can shift from a prophylactic to a more propagative force for life in the ocean. In other words, through titillating tales of sex in sea, this book aims to lure in, captivate, and then motivate a whole new audience to care about ocean conservation.
