Seks dlia nauki.Nauka dlia seksa - Rouch M.

Until the mid-20th century, sexual psychology and physiology were hardly studied, as if sex was a shameful secret, not an ordinary biological phenomenon. The state of this science and the behavior of scientists determined fear - they were afraid of public opinion, religious intolerance, political pressure, bigotry and prejudice. Now that the importance of this sphere is fully appreciated by society, it is difficult to even imagine what the pioneers of laboratory sex had to face. However, even today, few people think that experts study sex like any other aspect of human physiology. Masterly combining scientific enthusiasm, journalistic emancipation, saving humor and unchanging taste, Mary Roach tells how and why this science developed.
