Welcome to the paradoxical world of sex and men. From the Primal stirrings of the earliest cave man to the hype about Viagra, Bob Beale takes the reader on a tour of the state of maleness. Drawing widely from biology, genetics, anthropology and psychology, he sheds light on questions such Is there really a global decline in men`s sperm count? Do women `select` men who are duds, not studs? And will cloning make men redundant in the 21st century? Provides a much-neede reality check for the growing debate about men and their place in society as fathers, lovers, husbands and sons.
