What Do Women Want?: Adventures in the Science of Female Desire

Women are the monogamous sex.
Women crave intimacy and emotional connection.
Women don’t want sex with strangers.
Right?
Wrong.
Could ‘the fairer sex’ in fact be more sexually aggressive and anarchic than men?
In What Do Women Want? Adventures in the Science of Female Desire, critically acclaimed

journalist Daniel Bergner looks at the evidence. Recent research, he finds, dismantles the myths

to reveal an unprecedented portrait of female lust- the triggers, the fantasies, the mind-body

connection (and disconnection), the reasons behind the loss of libido and, most revelatory, that

this loss is not inevitable.
