About This Book
Understanding Sexual Motivations from Adventure to Revenge
An unparalleled exploration of the mysteries underlying women’s
sexuality that rivals the culture-shifting Kinsey Report, from two of
America’s leading research psychologists.
Do women have sex simply to reproduce or display their affection -- When
University of Texas at Austin clinical psychologist Cindy M. Meston and
evolutionary psychologist David M. Buss joined forces to investigate the
underlying sexual motivations of women, what they found astonished them.
Through the voices of real women, Meston and Buss reveal the motivations
that guide women’s sexual decisions and explain the deep-seated
psychology and biology that often unwittingly drive women’s desires --
sometimes in pursuit of health or pleasure, or sometimes for darker,
disturbing reasons that a woman may not fully recognize. Drawing on more
than a thousand intensive interviews conducted solely for the book, as
well as their pioneering research on physiological response and
evolutionary emotions, Why Women Have Sex uncovers an amazingly complex
and nuanced portrait of female sexuality. They delve into the use of sex
as a defensive tactic against a mate’s infidelity (protection), as a
ploy to boost self-confidence (status), as a barter for gifts or
household chores (resource acquisition), or as a cure for a migraine
headache (medication).
Why Women Have Sex stands as the richest and deepest psychological
understanding of female sexuality yet achieved and promises to inform
every woman’s (and her partner’s) awareness of her relationship to sex
and her sexuality.
