Inquiry: Mary Roach - Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

Birds do it. Bees do it. And for well over a century, cadres of daring scientists have been trying to figure out how we do it. Tonight on Inquiry we speak with intrepid journalist and dogged researcher MARY ROACH.  She looks at the work of sex researchers past and present and what they have found out about such diverse topics as the tender side of porcine insemination, the discovery of the ability to have an orgasm in people with spinal chord injuries and how to design a camera to go where no camera has gone before. Roach’s unforgettable book is titled: BONK: THE CURIOUS COUPLING OF SCIENCE AND SEX. Please note that tonight’s Inquiry is for MATURE AUDIENCES only.
