![]() ![]() Just as the microscope and the telescope illuminated for the first time the very small and the very large, A Billion Wicked Thoughts uses the power of the Internet to illuminate with unprecedented wattage human male and female desires. Levitin, bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The World in Six Songs "Every invention in communication technology-the printing press, photography, motion pictures, videotape, the Internet-was quickly co- opted to produce and disseminate erotica. Everything you always wanted to know about your desires in the bedroom." -Daniel J. For the first time ever, Ogas and Gaddam skillfully tie together the latest findings from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, social psychology, and millions of internet users. If you want answers to pretty much anything about sexual desire, this is the book for you." -From the Foreword by Catherine Salmon, coauthor of Warrior Lovers: Erotic Fantasies, Evolution and Female Sexuality and author of The Secret Life of Middle Children "This is an amazing book. Regardless of your background, you''re in for a treat. A Billion Wicked Thoughts is a goldmine of information about this hugely important topic, and, not surprisingly, gripping and sometimes disturbing reading." -Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Blank Slate "A refreshing look at the big picture of human sexuality, informed by the ultimate unobtrusive source of data, the internet. "In a stroke of ingenuity, Ogas and Gaddam circumvent the deepest limitation of standard psychological surveys: that they merely tap undergraduates'' socially acceptable responses, a flaw nowhere more damaging than in the touchy realm of sexuality. Is your partner telling you what really turns him on? Is your partner faking her pleasure? And just how unusual are your own desires? A Billion Wicked Thoughts will change the way you think about your sexual life. In men, physical arousal and psychological arousal are united, while in women, psychological arousal is separated from physical arousal. ![]() Men's brains form their sexual interests during adolescence and rarely change, while women's sexual interests are plastic and change frequently throughout their lives. And they work differently- A single cue triggers arousal in the male brain, but a woman's brain requires multiple cues to become aroused. But though men and women share the same taste cues, their sexual cues are very different. Just like the hardwired taste cues on your tongue-sweet, sour, salty, savoury, and bitter-humans have hardwired sexual cues. For the very first time, Ogas and Gaddam reveal profound differences between sexual brains of men and women. Other than preferring males, gay men have almost identical sexual desires as straight men. Men often seek erotic videos featuring women in their fifties and sixties. Women enjoy reading about two heterosexual men having sex. By combining online behavioural data with cutting-edge neuroscience, Ogas and Gaddam have uncovered shocking truths. Their groundbreaking findings will profoundly alter the way you think about the relationships of women and men. The analysed a billion web searches, a million websites, a million erotic video, a million erotic stories, millions of personal ads, and tens of thousands of digitized romance novels. ![]() Their ingenious method? They examined what people do on the Internet. But Ogas and Gaddam have studied the secret sexual behavior of more than a hundred million men and women around the world. Before Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, the only researcher to systematically investigate sexual desires was Alfred Kinsey, who surveyed 18,000 middle class Caucasians in the 1950s. But who really knows? Two bold young neuroscientists have initiated a revolution in the scientific study of sexual attraction. What they say they like is often quite different from what they look for when nobody is watching.
