If you have ever wondered why women always bite your head off or why one guy gets all the girls, if you have ever pondered why some men bring you balloons while others leave you their genitals, then Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation is the book for you. It explains all this and much more. It discloses the best time to have a sex change, how to have a virgin birth, when to seduce your sisters or eat your lover.

Her prose is lively and entertaining, remarkably so for what often boils down to biological studies of insects. What I really found ...
Writing about sex is tricky, because you immediately are set upon by all manner of ideologies. Every religion, political ism, or psychology has a stance, usually amounting to different flavors of "don't do that; that's not right."
