Reviews

  • "Written with considerable wit, this book will provide lots of answers." —Bookviews.com
  • "Wild Kingdom meets Dr. Ruth in Quirk’s bawdy guide to species reproduction and the differences between men and women. Each topical chapter compares romantic relationships to sociological, biological, anthropological or zoological findings, all related in Quirk’s off-the-cuff prose. The easy reading can be attributed to the fact that Quirk isn’t a scientist, but a fiction writer with an interest in science and a knack for finding humor in explaining why people act the way they do." Publishers Weekly
  • “In your face, Dr. Ruth. Move over talking-with-your-buddy over-a-beer-about your-love-life. When it comes to dating, Joe Quirk, author of Sperm Are From Men, Eggs Are From Women: The REAL Reason Why Men and Women are Different, says only science will explain the mystery of why he never calls when he says he will or why finding the G-spot is the ultimate game of hide and seek.” Philadelphia Metro
  • “Joe Quirk must be the bastard love-child of Stephen Jay Gould and Steve Martin. But it’s not just science leavened with humor to make it go down better. The humor springs from Quirk’s perspective on life, which is both absurdist and loving.” —Mike Chorost, Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human

Scientists Have Discovered the Food That Makes Women Lose Interest in Sex

It's called wedding cake. 

According to researchers in Germany writing for the journal Human Nature, a woman's sex drive begins to plummet once she is in a secure relationship.  "Conversely, the team found a man's libido remains the same no matter how long he's been in a relationship."

I learned from my personal experience that the best way to keep a relationship hot was to keep it unstable.  My hypothesis (unsupported) is that sex consumes a lot of precious calories, and for a woman it's worth the extravagance of mindblowing nookie to secure a pair-bond.  Once secured, those calories are better invested in nest-building and mothering.  A person who willl give birth and nurse a baby can't serve two masters.

Men don't have wombs and produce virtually infinite sperm. It's always in their best interests to have some ready to shoot.  Why not?  They lose little by shooting.

Want hot sex from a woman?  Keep the relationship psycho.  It worked for me when I was single.  I had many long-term non-monogamous relationships that remained erotic right up until the moment she tried to claw my eyes out.  It costs a lot in therapy, but boy is it sexy.

Want love and contentment?  Dump the psycho and build a nest.  You get to have steady sex with somebody who is not trying to claw your eyes out.  Plus you get to have breakfast without any coffee cups aimed at your head.

And there's nothing like reading a book, in bed, next to somebody you love.

You forgot to mention the advantages of longterm pair bonding: you develop a critic you trust to tell you the things you can't know about yourself because you won't let you.
