Book: Do Sperm Have Brains?
The conception of Do Sperm Have Brains?:
After years of gathering hundreds of anonymous sex questions in my middle school science classroom and sharing them with amused friends and colleagues, one response consistently struck me: “Well, what is the answer to that?” Initially, this reaction startled me, but eventually I came to realize that adolescents are not the only ones mystified by the science of sex. So I decided to write a book for adults, both young and old, who are curious about sex.
Do Sperm Have Brains? will answer 101 sexual mysteries with fun facts and quizzes that everyone can enjoy. Like this website, the book will be science-based, easily digestible and include LOTS of crazy questions and quizzes—only the book will include more elaborate quizzes (non-multiple-choice!) and expanded stories.
I am at work on the sex trivia in chapter five (“Let’s Go All the Way”) and hope to complete this nine-chapter book in 2011. As things progress, I will update this website, blog and facebook fan page with additional information.
Please contact me if you have any ideas on the making or marketing of this project. I am especially interested in input from writers, physicians, educators, sex therapists and marketers, but I wholeheartedly welcome anyone’s contribution to this massive project!
