Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary RoachMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Like any good science reporter, Mary Roach transforms the jargon of scientific research into something understandable by lay readers while still being informative. With the subject of sex research, her sense of humor shines through while still presenting solid information. At the same time, you can't help but feel somewhat sad that human hang-ups about the topic have prevented really robust and useful research on the topic.

This sounds really good. It's funny because when I first think of 'bonk' I think of bonking people on the head. I forget that it has its other meaning. It is too bad that we're so hung up that there hasn't been as much research - hopefully there's been a lot of robust bonking, instead.
