About this listen
** THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 5 BESTSELLER **
** FEATURED ON BBC ARTS' BETWEEN THE COVERS **
Award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans - sex, power and money.
'A genuinely hilarious explanation of the science of sex' FRANKIE BOYLE
'I've never read a book so fast and laughed so loudly while learning so much. Pascoe is a sage for our times.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, The Guilty Feminist
Following her hit book Animal, Sara Pascoe decides to confront her fear of the male libido, and turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans, delving into such questions as:
Why don't people care about the welfare of the people they masturbate to?
and
Why is there such stigma around those who work in the sex industry?
when
Some women still want men to buy them dinner?
In this comedic and educational hopscotch over anatomy, the history of sexual representation and the sticky way all human interactions are underwritten by wealth, Pascoe explores whether we'll ever be able to escape the Conundrum of Heterosexuality. Drawing on anecdotal experience, unqualified opinion, interviews and original research, Sex Power Money is thought-provoking and riotously funny: a fresh take on the oldest discussion.
'Important, timely, poignant, mind-blowing and VERY FUNNY. Written with kindness, bravery and ridiculous attention to detail, it will make you feel cleverer without all the usual effort.' AISLING BEA

Thoroughly enjoyable
Funny and educational, my two favourite things. Fair warning, this book is pretty much entirely about sex (if you hadn't worked it out) from a scientific/evolutionary psychology perspective, with a few personal anecdotes that tie everything together. I found it fascinating and enjoyed learning some new things. It's also a really good length for a 'comedy' book, with lots of content broken into many small, easily digestible chapters.
Sara gives an excellent performance and there's plenty of her trademark self-depreciating humour, although the male narrator is a little distracting (hence only 4 stars).

Entertaining, informative and very well presented
As a scientist I found the content to be full of amazing insights into both the human body and human behaviour. Sarah's conversational writing style was the icing on the cake.

Not what l expected, but definitely satisfied with
I found parts of this hard to listen to. I found that I was searching my own soul on things that were raised by Sara and that's what made me uncomfortable, sometimes she cut very close to the bone with her personal insights. Sara has made me take stock of my words and actions, l wish l could get more men to listen to this audio book, but l doubt the men l would like to listen to it would 'get it's.

Great listen.
Really great content. Funny and informative, even though Sara Pascoe has her own views yet she always remains impartial, funny and insightful. Absolutely love her :)
