Summary

PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER. Forget Mars and Venus... Tom Whipple, science editor of The Times, draws on the latest science to look at key questions about the differences between the sexes, and unpack the central psychology of our relationships. Were we ever designed to be a monogamous species? Is it true that all women are bisexual? Is testosterone to blame for making men monsters? This is a book about the place where biology meets behaviour - how sex drives us, and explains many of the key choices we make in life. In this timely twenty-first century reboot of the seminal bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are from Venus, Whipple travels far and wide - from an Essex swingers' party to a gay penguin sanctuary in Germany - and draws on the latest studies in behavioural science as well as fascinating explorations into anthropology to produce a surprising tale of expectations and mismatches
