Kate Lister is a knowledgeable and hilarious author and historian who is able to take the complex and lengthy history of sex and turn it into a book that is easy to understand for a wide array of readers. The book is broken down into distinct subtopics, such as sex and food or sex and money, to make the information more manageable without sacrificing many of the nuances that come with such topics. I recommend this novel to anyone interested; whether you are a history buff or a casual enjoyer of sex, you're sure to leave your reading nook with some new information and a few evenings of entertainment.
