Are You Normal About Sex, Love, and Relationships? [Paperback]

Bernice Kanner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 2004

When it comes to sex and love, how do you fit in? Are you...ahem, normal? Do you conform to the type, standard or pattern, the way MOST people do? In the bedroom--and elsewhere where we copulate--we're both entirely predictable and utterly surprising.

*Would you try to conceive without your partner's consent if you wanted a baby?
*What's sexier: suits, slacks, or jeans?
*Do you slant to the right or left when kissing?
*Have you ever lied to get a date?

Marketing guru Bernice Kanner has spent many years researching how Americans love and lust to give us the statistics to satisfy our every curiosity. People talk about sex a lot--a worry about it even more. So pull up a chair and see how you compare...

Review

"As Bernice Kanner's book remarkably reveals we're the most confounding, most fascinating creatures on earth (or 78% of us are anyway.) A statistical delight."

This review is from: Are You Normal About Sex, Love, and Relationships? (Paperback)

I would recommend this book to people who frequently make speeches, toasts, write lifestyle articles for periodicals or are simply curious as to what intimate behaviors have been measured and rated.

The book's collection of statistics range from the off the wall (6% of marriage proposals are delivered over the phone) to the obvious ( 95% of people have suffered heartache) and to the shocking (82% of women would rather receive a mushy love letter than diamond earrings). These fun and insightful facts are perfect little gems that will spice up any lecture or, at the very least, make for great cocktail chatter.
