About this book
This is a fascinating book on our gender and sexual rituals and preferences, written by a sexologist from a sociobiological perspective. Organized as a series of provocative puzzles or questions on such subjects as male-female differences, homosexuality, transsexualism, and courtship rituals, it offers a refreshing new perspective, part Mendelian genetics, part common sense.

The truth is that going on a date can be downright nerve-wracking-and if you suffer from shyness or social anxiety, it is especially so.
