Cupid's Poisoned Arrow: From Habit to Harmony in Sexual Relationships
“[This book] seriously challenges conventional ‘wisdom’ about human  sexual interactions. It is as antithetical to modern cultural beliefs  about sexual behavior as Galileo’s treatise was to astronomy. In  Galileo’s time the earth (like the orgasm) was thought to be the  incontestable center of the universe. Marnia Robinson’s hypothesis might  result in much needed navigational improvements for modern family  relationships.”—A.J.
