Sextinction - by Debra Soh (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Dr. Debra Soh, neuroscientist, noted sex researcher, and author of the "exceptional" (The Times, London) The End of Gender, reports on the hidden crisis of a sudden decline of sexual activity.

There's a strange paradox in today's developed world: society has never been more sexualized, but people across all age groups and demographics are having less sex than ever before. And nobody seems to know why or what to do about it.

The "fearless" (Eric R Weinstein, PhD, host of The Portal) Dr. Debra Soh leaves no stone unturned as she searches for science-backed answers. She takes us on a roller-coaster journey through ideological debates, new technological frontiers, and modern dating to understand the whys and hows of this issue.

With an expert and impartial eye, Soh examines these evolving and controversial developments and colors her findings with anecdotes from her personal research. Compulsively readable and groundbreaking, Sextinction upends the conventional wisdom surrounding sex, skewering pieties held by the right and left alike, and looks to the future of sexuality.
