Aphids have it easy: When they’re in the mood to procreate, female lice can give birth to up to ten daughters a day, without any assistance from a male. They don’t have to ask: “Your place or mine?” Instead, they ask: “My place or mine?” Life can be that simple.
Yet there must be something to sex – after all, the exchange of bodily fluids for the sake of procreation has prevailed in 99% of animal species. But what makes something sexy? What does eroticism teach us about ourselves? And can liberating laughter turn on desire? This book offers new answers to old questions – is a philosophical peek through the keyhole, as it were.
Readers can allow themselves to feel titillated in the most pleasant of ways as they flirt with the punch line and discover that the history of procreation has never been told as entertainingly as here before.
