Yay Mary Roach! I really like her. This book is, as the subtitle suggests, a book about sex. There's so much here; it reminds me of Stiff, Roach's book about dead bodies (which was fantastic). In Bonk, as in Stiff and Spook, Roach is funny and frank and doesn't flinch from her subject. She talks about erectile dysfunction as easily as orgasm as easily as what's for lunch.

I get the idea Roach is one of those people who can talk to anyone, even a stranger on the street.

Fantastic book.
