A Tiger in the Bedroom: Lessons from Mother Nature's Sex Shop

Reminiscent of an old article in Esquire magazine, the author tries to draw parallels between human and animal mating behavior in an informative and very funny book.This could be a simple listing of curious animal behaviors, but the author has gone one better. She shows what we can learn from the animal kingdom, both do's and don't's. She then usually makes a very entertaining quip on how to use this knowledge.Many readers will be surprised by the supposedly natural behavior of these animals that includes adultery, philandering, prostitution (I kid you not), rape, orgies, masturbation, sex toys, stamina, death and just about anything else you can think of.For those who may find these behaviors hard to swallow, there is an appendix that references sources for all of the facts portrayed.Very fun and laugh inducing. Read it unless you are too shy (just remember bookstores keep it in the humor section).

I keep this on the coffee table along with a few other provocative titles, to keep conversation lively. :)

Great fun for the interesting animal world oddities it exposes, Ms Gould's breezy and informative style makes this book a joy. It really is a lot of fun to read it aloud with friends (as a previous reader stated) -- HIGHLY recommended

This is a great book of laughs best when shared with friends. Where in the world did Gould find these facts? I will never think of a Dolphin the same way. Entertaining, and educational.
