"Occasionally poetic, always candid. The book is filled with
insights with which to start conversations."--Psychology Today "Why
Women Have Sex is an endlessly well informed and irresistibly
readable book. The candor of the women's responses and the authors'
knowledge of all that has been happening in the world of sex
research for the past few decades combine to make it the most
fascinating and illuminating look at female sexuality since
Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Female."--Mary Roach, author
of Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
"What an excellent book! You will come away from reading Why Women
Have Sex with a better understanding of what turns women on or off,
the physiology underlying desire and arousal, the likely
consequences when sex is undertaken to thwart or titillate a
partner, and the complexity of sexual desire. There is not much
more one can ask for--to be at once enlightened and entertained by
two trustworthy and sympathetic experts."--Sandra R. Leiblum Ph.D.,
author of Getting the Sex You Want
"Why Women Have Sex is full of fascinating research that will help
everyone better understand and appreciate their sexual
selves."--Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of The Secret Pleasures
of Menopause and The Wisdom of Menopause
"Why Women Have Sex is a captivating tour of what psychology and
biology can tell us about women's sexual motivation. Meston and
Buss are first-rate scientists and skilled writers who actually
answer the question that everyone was afraid to ask."--Daniel
Gilbert, professor of psychology, Harvard University, and author of
Stumbling on Happiness
