In Bonk, the best-selling author of Stiff turns her outrageous curiosity and insight on the most alluring scientific subject of all: sex. Can a person think herself to orgasm? Why doesn't Viagra help women--or, for that matter, pandas? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Mary 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 make the bedroom a more satisfying place.

"[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter. . . . A greatly satisfying romp." -- New York Times Book Review
"Roll over, Kinsey. Mary Roach has done it again.... Bonk proves that full-bodied research can be riveting." -- O, The The Oprah Magazine
"Roach is a fearless and witty reporter." -- Wall Street Journal
"[An] account that is at once revealing-alarmingly so-and very very funny. She studs (forgive me) her journey with a multitude of knee-crossing bits of fact that will enliven bedtime conversation everywhere." -- Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City
