The book at a glance
Extravagant and thoroughly researched collection of the best from medical-scientific literature, current affairs and obviously the web: the story of our sexual habits, animals’ sexual behaviour, physiology of reproductive apparatus, eroticism in art and literature... Transgressions, perversions, revelations, and a rich section devoted to urban legends on sex, to unmask widespread myths or confirm their real basis.
Can coke be used as a contraceptive? Who commissioned the first inflatable doll? How long is the ideal intercourse? How short exactly is a micro-penis? Where was pornography first made legal? Which male animal can be pregnant?
