Publisher’s Summary

The study of sexual physiology – what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better – has been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinsey’s attic.

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.

    Just OK

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    In the middle on this one, it seems that every other paragraph or so ends with a snarky comment that becomes tedious.

    Has Bonk turned you off from other books in this genre?

    Like the genre but will most likely stay away from other books by this author.

    What does Sandra Burr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    She does her best with the material

    Was Bonk worth the listening time?

    Once you get past the snark there are some nuggets of good information.

    Laughed so hard I wet my pants!

    This is my third Mary Roach and the second as an audiobook. Sandra Burr is wonderful narrating Mary Roach. And Mary Roach is just such a hoot! Space travel, life after death, and now I'm learning about science and sex. Just hilarious. (I just love the idea of a scientist dressing mice up in polyester or cotton pants to see how it affects their sex life.) Mary Roach really brings science alive. She presents science in an entertaining and educational way. Highly recommended.
