An unparalleled exploration of the mysteries underlying women’s sexuality that rivals the culture-shifting Kinsey Report, from two of

America’s leading research psychologists

Do women have sex simply to reproduce or display their affection? When University of Texas at Austin clinical psychologist Cindy M. Meston

and evolutionary psychologist David M. 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.

Cindy M. Meston is one of the world’s leading researchers on women’s sexuality and a professor of clinical psychology at the University of

Texas at Austin, where she directs the Sexual Psychophysiology Laboratory, a cutting-edge lab on women’s sexual experience.

David M. Buss, one of the founders of the field of evolutionary psychology, is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and is the

author of several books, including The Evolution of Desire and The Dangerous Passion. Their jointly authored article, “Why Humans Have Sex,”

garnered international attention when it was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

In Why Women Have Sex, clinical psychologist Cindy M. Meston and evolutionary psychologist David M. Buss present an unparalleled exploration

of the mysteries underlying women’s sexuality that rivals the culture-shifting Kinsey Report.
