Why is Sex Fun? Paperback book

Why is Sex Fun?

by Jared M. Diamond

Why are humans one of the few species to have sex in private? Why do humans have sex any day of the month or year - including when the female is pregnant, beyond her reproductive years, or between her fertile cycles? Why are human females one of the few mammals to go through menopause? Human sexuality seems normal to us but it is bizarre by the standards of other animals. Jared Diamond argues that our strange sex lives were as crucial to our rise to human status as were our large brains. He also describes the battle of the sexes in the human and animal world over parental care, and why sex differences in the genetic value of parental care provide a biological basis for the all-too-familiar different attitudes of men and women towards extramarital sex.

0297817752 Dust jacket condition: New. In this speculative account of how human sexualitv came to be the way it now is, Jared Diamond-a renowned expert in the field of physiology and author of the award-winning The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee-argues that, in our evolutionary history, our strange sex lives were as crucial to our rise to human status as our upright posture and large brain. Why are humans one of the few species to have sex in private? Why do humans have sex any day of the month or year-including when the female is pregnant, beyond her reproductive years, or between her fertile cycles? Why are human females one of the few mammals to go through menopause? Why is the human penis so unnecessarily large? As Diamond says, 'By the standards of the world's 4300 other species of mammals, and even by the standards of our own closest relatives the great apes, we are the ones who are bizarre. He describes the battle of the sexes in the human and animal world over parental care, and why sex differences in the genetic value of parental care provide a biological basis for the all-too-familiar different attitudes of men and women towards extramarital sex. He establishes the feasibility, in animals and humans, of male lactation; but also shows why it normally languishes unrealised. He examines our concealed ovulatioij, nearly constant female receptivity and recreational sex in the light of two competing theories proposed to explain them: the many-fathers theory and the daddy-at-home theory. 176 pages.
