Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex

Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex by Baker, Robin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780788160042.

This revolutionary book demonstrates that sexual behavior is driven by neither the psyche nor the conscious mind, but by biological imperatives programmed into us millions of years ago. Argues that a mans sexual behavior is based on the expectation that his sperm will have to compete with other mens sperm to fertilize the descending egg, & women are programmed to promote this sperm warfare. Uses a series of fictional scenes involving some form of sexual contact, followed by an interpretation of each scene from the viewpoint of an evolutionary biologist. Provides a strikingly original & fascinating window into sexual behavior.
