I like that the author has included modern technology in the sphere of intimacy. Thanks for the good review.

In this case, I strongly disagree with technology. When it comes to the issues related to intimacy and sex, technology should have no role. Anyway that's my point of view. Thanks for this review of the thought-provoking and informative book, tackling very vital aspect of human nature.

This sounds like an interesting book. I also heard that penguins trade sex for rocks to build their nests with, so I guess it happens more in the animal kingdom that we are aware of. Thanks for your informative and interesting review!

I understand your point of view, but the author presents some situation when technology might be useful. It is a difficult subject, indeed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

How interesting! Actually, the book includes even more extreme examples from the animal kingdom. The author used those cases to show nature's diversity and invalidate some extreme opinions that use specific behaviors from nature to justify their attitude towards sex. Thank you for sharing and commenting!

This book seems a very educational read especially in these times of online dating. Animals trading sex for things like food somewhat relates to us humans too. Humans too trade sex for money, secret information etc...I guess the behaviours of animals, like chimpanzees would also give insight into our own behaviours. Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

I like the part about the quality of our interactions not quantity. This seems like a great book to read. Thanks for your recommendation.

There's seems to be a lot of food for thought in this book considering that it includes a number of subjects to offer a comprehensive view of how technology is impacting sex and intimacy. Thank you for your great review!
