Why do men and women experience sex differently? Why do we sometimes feel guilty about sex? Why are we attracted (and attractive) to some people and not others?
These are the questions at the centre of Simon Andreae's highly entertaining and accessible study of human sexual desire.
Arguing that our sexuality is the result of three interlocking forces - evolution, culture and psychology - Andreae combines superb storytelling with the latest science to explore the processes through which we come to desire many partners or few,men or women,and sex which is wild or tame.He also explores the furthest reaches of sexual desire,the paraphilias,and investigates why we fall in - and out - of love.
Equally at home discussing the evolution of the clitoris,the flagellatory impulses of the Christian clergy, the science of the gay gene or the escapades of a mediaeval lovesick baron,Andreae digs to the root of our sex drive and comes up with some surprising answers.Eye-opening,intriguing and highly readable,'Anatomy of Desire' is a hugely compelling exploration of the human race's most deep-seated and fascinating drive.
