Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex | Mary Roach

pick

This was a fun little read. It‘s strange, hilarious, and cringeworthy at different times. This is more on the scientific level, but if you just need to find a way to be comfortable talking about sex and sexuality, this book will absolutely do that. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics All the variations on the word coitus made me think of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, and (I think rather unintentionally) she broaches the topic of the effects of negative messaging about sex from religious organisations. #MaryRoach #Bonk #SexPositive2021 3y

I‘m not convinced this is a real word.

julesG Does it come with a definition? 3y

julesG Also, have to read this book. 3y

GingerAntics @julesG not really. It‘s sort of implied again. Just ones ability to orgasm, especially. Or maybe the human ability to? 3y

GingerAntics @julesG my only complaint thus far is that is perpetuates the myth that Victorian doctors‘ treatment of “pelvic massage‘ was meant to be sexual and that‘s why vibrators were invented. That got debunked in

Hooked_on_books I suspect this was not a successful incontinence cure 🤔 3y

GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books I would imagine not. I mean, I‘m sure the blood clotting and the swelling helped temporarily, but that couldn‘t have been comfortable or feel good at all. I can‘t imagine he found this to be worth it after everything was healed up. No word on if they got it reattached or not. 3y

Graywacke Is that the dedication? Great quote. 3y

GingerAntics @Graywacke no, this is actually toward the end of the intro (which she cheekily refers to as “Foreplay”). The dedication is “For Woody.” 3y

Graywacke @GingerAntics that‘s a good one too! 3y

I think we all knew this was coming eventually. I actually started this book at some point several years ago now (2014 or 2015ish I think). I got side tracked by school and life, but this is totally happening now.

In this house we love and appreciate Mary Roach! The perfect mix of science, history, innuendo, and humor. I found myself laughing out loud and trying to avoid explaining what I was laughing at. #booksof2018 #maryroach #bonk
