Mary Roach’s book Bonk is a riveting and engaging book that shows new light on the hush hush topic of sex. She brings the questions that everyone wants to know about the dirty deed out in the open to researchers, who sometimes themselves don’t ask the questions that she does. She brings topics about masturbation, orgasm, sexual arousal, and the structure and function of the private parts, to a whole different light. Not only to learn more about them, but to also find what science is doing to make this bedroom secret a more pleasurable and satisfying place. She does this not only in a scientific way but uses humor throughout to keep the reader engaged, and to keep it less awkward about the material mentioned in the book.
This book sparked interest for our group because sex has always been a quiet topic that not very many people talk about or feel comfortable talking about. We believe it was something that we have never read before and also something we could learn from and make us feel more comfortable and knowledgeable about this subject. Also, being that this book was about sex not in a sick and perverted way, but in a scientific way also caught our attention. We all have our questions about the topic and we all thought that maybe some of those questions could be answered. But, to also be able to bring new questions and answers to us that we have never thought of before. Sex being a touchy subject, and having a whole book covering the subject interested us too because you don’t see many books being published in a scientific, yet humorous way about that kind of subject. Being that the book is written openly and doesn’t leave details out made our interest of the book and subject also more appealing.
