THE NATURE OF SEX: THE INS AND OUTS OF MATING IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
Book ID/图书代码： 10010015B84876
English Summary/英文概要： The sex lives of our animal cousins are fiendishly difficult, infinitely varied and often violent. They involve razor sharp penises, murderous cannibals and chemical warfare in an epic battle between the sexes. Dr. Carin Bondar takes us on a journey of discovery as she presents approachable explanations and humorous examples of the diverse ways in which the animal kingdom reproduces. She looks at how sexual organs have evolved and social hierarchies with them, the mechanics of certain animals’ sexual intercourse, tactics of seduction versus more forceful methods, and the probability that other animals experience pleasure from sex, as well as what happens in matriarchal animal societies when the female has the reproductive power. It leaves us to relate this back to our own society and think about sex a little more profoundly.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 动物的交配形式是非常不同和多种多样的，而且往往是非常暴力的。它们在交配的时候可能会伸出锋利的阴茎、将对方吃掉、或者在两性中展开史诗般的化学战争。凯琳•邦达博士通过浅显易懂的阐述和有趣幽默的实验向读者展现了动物王国多姿多彩的交配形式。她着重研究了动物使用的交配器官、它们所属的层次等级、特定动物的性交机制、战术诱惑和更有力的方法、其他动物从性交中获取快乐的可能性以及在母系社会的动物群体中当磁性有生育能力后会发生什么变化。这会使我们反观人类社会并更深入地看待性这件事。（XAT）
