Let's get the new year started out right with a blog on sex. In 2007, Cindy M. Meston and David M. Buss, both psychology professors at the University of Texas at Austin, published a joint research paper on human sexuality titled “Why Humans Have Sex.” The answers men gave were moderately interesting, I suppose, but what really fascinated the authors were the women's responses -- so they decided to conduct additional research, and this year published “Why Women Have Sex.”
Anyway, Sally Law of The New Yorker caught up with the two authors for the following interview: ASK AN ACADEMIC: WHY WOMEN HAVE SEX. The main theme here seems to be something my son John likes to say: The main difference between men and women is that men are simple and women are complicated.
