The book on sex in the twenty-first century

“Alfred Kinsey only scratched the surface. Interviewing a mere 18,000 horny humans? Please . . . Drs. Ogas and Gaddam [offer] hot new scientific findings.”—The Washington Post

Want to know what really turns your partner on? A Billion Wicked Thoughts offers the clearest picture ever of the differences between male and female sexuality and the teeming diversity of human desire. What makes men attracted to images and so predictable in their appetites? What makes the set up to a romantic evening so important for a woman? Why are women’s desires so hard to predict?

Neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam reveal the mechanics of sexual relationships based on their extensive research into the mountains of new data on human behavior available in online entertainment and traffic around the world. Not since Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s has there been such a revolution in our knowledge of what is really going on in the bedroom. What Ogas and Gaddam learned, and now share, will deepen and enrich the way you, and your partner, think and talk about sex.

The latest on sexual desires as well as the motivations. This is a great book. Its basis is available science and does not mask the different thought patterns of multitude of sexual desires. Another must read that clarifies how & why, " Men are from Mars & women are from Venus."

A Million Interesting Ideas

November 1, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Culled from a sample of roughly 55 million, two neurologists endeavored to compile a sex survey in the tradition of Alfred Kinsey, et al. Sometimes funny and irreverent, but always insightful and interesting, _A Billion Wicked Thoughts_ tackles human sexuality in the Internet Age. Topics primarily cover traditional male/female heterosexuality and an interesting lengthy departure for homosexuality. Alas, there very little material on lesbianism or transgender issues (the authors lament there was a lot of cooperation from those sources). _A Billion Wicked Thoughts_ does confirm a lot of prejudices and stereotypes regarding sexuality, but also why they endure. However, it doesn't just confirm stuff we already "knew" about sexual roles, there's plenty of information I didn't know as well as things I have never thought about. For example, you'll discover why; homosexuals are more mannish than heterosexual males, women find slash- and fan- fiction irresistible and why "futanari" porn is the fastest growing share of the marketplace.

Just Ok.

Sort of boring, mostly one sided talking about men, some interesting tid bits but nothing mind blowing that you didn't already know if you gave it some thought. If you like stats, numbers, percentages, lists, etc. you will love it.

Fails to really delve in to modern data. Not a good book.

Mostly just a rehash of previous and probably wrong studies that date from before Redtube. Needs to actually do data analysis.

Um, yes it is good despite biased initial reviews

This book is much better than the initial reviews. Sure there are some eyebrow-raising theories, but the neuroscience on sex and gender is pretty new.Read more
