Produktinformationen zu „Why Women Have Sex “
Do women have sex simply to reproduce or display their affection? When clinical psychologist Cindy Meston and evolutionary psychologist David Buss joined forces to investigate the underlying sexual motivations of women, what they found astonished them. Through the voices of real women, Meston and Buss reveal the motivations that guide women's sexual decisions and explain the deep-seated psychology and biology that often unwittingly drive women's desires sometimes in pursuit of health or pleasure, or sometimes for darker, disturbing reasons that a woman may not fully recognize. Drawing on more than a thousand intensive interviews conducted solely for the book, as well as their pioneering research on physiological response and evolutionary emotions, "Why Women Have Sex" uncovers an amazingly complex and nuanced portrait of female sexuality. They delve into the use of sex as a defensive tactic against a mate's infidelity (protection), as a ploy to boost self-confidence (status), as a barter for gifts or household chores (resource acquisition), or as a cure for a migraine headache (medication). "Why Women Have Sex" stands as the richest and deepest psychological understanding of female sexuality yet achieved and promises to inform every woman's (and her partner's) awareness of her relationship to sex and her sexuality.
Autoren-Porträt von Cindy M. Meston, David M. Buss
David Buss ist Professor für Psychologie an der University of Texas. Zurzeit leitet er dort die Abteilung Individuelle Unterschiede und Evolutionäre Psychologie. Nach seiner Doktorarbeit 1981 an der University of California in Berkeley war er vier Jahre lang Assistant Professor an der Harvard University. 1985 wechselte er an die University of Michigan, wo er elf Jahre lang lehrte, bevor er 1996 dem Ruf an die University of Texas folgte. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind die evolutionäre Psychologie menschlicher Paarungsstrategien, Konflikte zwischen den Geschlechtern, Prestige, Status und soziale Reputation, Eifersucht, Mord, Anti-Mordstrategien und Stalking. Seine bahnbrechende Forschung hat ein breites Echo in den Medien erfahren, so etwa in Artikeln in Newsweek, U.S. News&World Report, The New York Times, Washington Post sowie im Spiegel. In deutscher Übersetzung liegen seine Sachbücher Die Evolution des Begehrens und Wo warst Du? Der Sinn der Eifersucht sowie das Lehrbuch Evolutionäre Psychologie vor. Der Spiegel hat im August 2005 (Heft 35/2005) ein längeres Interview zum Thema "Mörder" mit ihm geführt.
