"Bonk: A Curious Coupling Between Science and Sex" begins with the beginnings of the study of sex, beginning with our attempts to understand it learn about human sex from animal sex. She makes sure to cover the most important researchers and public critiques. Roach (2008) then spoke about the processes Masters and Johnson used to begin to understand female orgasm, which led her to wonder if and why women can achieve orgasm using a plunger robotics. She then addresses some myths, one of which was launched by Napoleon's great-granddaughter, about the female sex (Roach, 2008). The most common myth was that women whose clitoris is more than an inch from their urethra have difficulty achieving orgasm (Roach, 2008). After this, Roach (2008) takes up the idea that if a woman achieves an orgasm, there is a greater chance that she will become pregnant. In chapter five, Roach (2008) discusses coital imagery and even discusses his own experience with it. For the next few chapters, she covers male impotence, including potential cures for erectile dysfunction, whether surgical or with implants, testicle transplants, and penis transplants (Roach, 2008). In Chapter 9, Roach (2008) explains the mentality that the clitoris is a biologically underdeveloped penis. She then addresses a very delicate subject, pardon the pun: masturbation, or namely the potential health benefits of masturbation (Roach, 2008). She then mentions several curious cases of orgasm occurring either in the disabled, or in non-erogenous places, or even in the dead (Roach, 2008). She later discusses mental disconnection in terms of sexual arousal. She then covers the vaginal reflexes during sex, as well as the works of a man...... middle of paper ......knowledge and thoughts about human behavior when it comes to sex, I'm afraid I don't made him learn many new things. For most of my life, I knew that humans were animals, and that the desire to procreate was only diminished by our desire to follow society's norms; I also knew that sex felt good, certainly not from direct experience, but the point still stands. Although my knowledge has been slightly tested, I still find that these fundamental principles of human nature hold firm. The combination of these two factors, even as a teenager, led me to conclude that people had sex because it was fun, but they didn't talk about it because it could be embarrassing. If Mary Roach mentioned something different, then I fear I have missed her words. Works Cited Roach, M. (2008). Bonk: The curious coupling of science and sex. New York: WW Norton & Company.
