Critically acclaimed journalist Bergner disseminates the latest scientific research and paints an unprecedented portrait of female lust: the triggers, the fantasies, the mind-body connection, the reasons behind the loss of libido, and, most revelatory, that this loss is not inevitable.

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

'Daniel Bergner has written a keenly intelligent book about a subject that often exceeds our intelligence: What Do Women Want?' -- Gay Talese 'At last we have a new perspective on the wilds of female desire, in rousing tableaux, as women, men, sexologists, bonobos, erotic gurus, and many others provide frank, vidid answers to the question that have haunted [us] for far too long: What do women want? The answer will fascinate all.' -- Diane Ackerman * A Natural History of Love * 'Accesible and informative prose...this page-turning book will have readers questioning some of their most ingrained beliefs about women, men, society, and sex.' * Publishers Weekly * 'It's everything you wanted to know about sex but didn't know to ask. Daniel Bergner upends long-standing myths about women and sex—everything from nature of attraction and pursuit to prevalence of taboo fantasies to monogamy itself.' * New York Post * 'What Do Women Want? adds both steam and explosives into the national conversation—or preoccupation—with what it means to be a woman today.' * Vogue * 'Bergner lays out the history of this brainwashing and then debunks it in his entertaining new book, What Do Women Want?. He recaps ingenious studies that have plumbed our desires, including those we deny or hide from ourselves.' * Elle * 'This book should be read by every woman on the planet.' * Salon * '[Bergner] subtly exposes the stereotypes, social condition and fear of female sexuality that have constrained women's lust.' * SMH/Age/Canberra Times *
