“A Billion Evil Thoughts” Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam“'I think I might like this.' -Mrs. Alfred Kinsey, after being asked if she would like to have sex with her husband's graduate student in the film Kinsey” (p. 152). This illustrates only one aspect of female sexual desire, sex with a younger man. This book explores the concepts of sexual desire for both males and females and answers the question of why we desire what we desire. Since most people are often worried about what society would think of their specific sexual desires, and therefore lie about what they really desire, Ogas and Gaddam came up with a rather clever solution to this problem: the Internet. The Internet provides anonymity, so people don't have to worry about what society will think. Using the Internet as a database for about a year, we were able to collect a wide range of data regarding male and female desire. From this data, they discuss the differences in male and female sexual psychology, their variations in desire, and why we desire what we desire. It's also worth noting that they do it in a way that's fun, interesting, and easy to understand. They explain the different types of kinky and non-kinky behavior that both sexes are interested in and provide information and insights into the reasons behind this. They not only tell us what men and women desire, but they provide explanations for why we desire what we do. Using evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and the Internet, Ogas and Gaddam provide us with a better understanding of human sexual desire. The way the authors present their information is clear and organized. They present it in a way that makes the reader want to keep reading. One of the ways they keep... half the paper... even twenty, this search method was inaccessible to us. Even the society we live in now is different from the one we lived in twenty/thirty years ago. This topic has always been a bit offensive, although perhaps less so now than twenty/thirty years ago, for the simple reason that it concerns sex and sexual desires. The fact that this research was conducted and published shows us how much our culture is growing and becoming more accommodating. I would definitely recommend it to other students and prospective students and have already recommended it to everyone I know. This book gets five stars. Bibliography American Pie. Dir.
