Book Reviews of Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution Of Human Sexuality (Science Masters)

Book Review: A educating book in classic Diamond style
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is as good as other masterpieces by Mr Diamond. The author expands vastly our understanding of sexual behavior of humans. He shows that without historical perspective the understanding of sex life of human race is impossible.

Author says that by the standards of the world's 4,300 other species, we are the ones who are bizarre. He proves his point with numerous examples about sexual behavior of animals and birds.

Read it and beside enjoyable read you get better insight into driving forces of other sex.
