Why Do Men Have Nipples?
Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?
Reviewed by Angie Kibiloski
Why Do Men Have Nipples? Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? Two very good questions, and also the titles of two very good books. The first, Why Do Men Have Nipples? (a New York Times bestseller), was published last year and the sequel, Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? (Retail for each $13.95), came out this August. Published by The Crown Publishing Group, and written by Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D., these two installments shed some light on these and hundreds of other burning questions that you've always wanted to ask your doctor, but could never work up the nerve to ask.
Mark Leyner is a novelist and screen writer, and Billy Goldberg is a medical doctor practicing in New York. Together, they have created two very memorable and informative catalogs of weird and random medical questions. Here are some of my favorite questions that have been included in the books. Why are yawns contagious? What is snot? Is sperm nutritious or fattening? Big hands, big____? Does candle flame remove earwax? Can you get high from licking a toad? Can you die from chasing Pop Rocks with Coke? What's up with the ear hair? Why don't men listen? Does peeing in the shower cure athlete's foot? Do animals commit suicide? Can animals be gay? What purpose do freckles serve? Is it true that you cannot die in a dream? What if Santa were lactose intolerant?
You'll be surprised at some of the answers to these timeless ponderings? And those aren't even the tip of the iceberg. The questions range from food to sex, spanning animals to home remedies, and passing through strange afflictions and bodily fluids of all kinds. Each question is answered with wit and interesting facts. For those of you who are science minded, you'll find plenty of long, technical looking words, like "lachrymatory-factor-synthase" and "gustatory hyperhidrosis." And for those of you who don't even bother to try to pronounce anything more than 6 syllables long (and really, that's most of us I think) there are nice, easy to understand explanations of such foreign vocabulary. Now, don't think that all the questions are answered with medical jargon. No, no, no. Some of the more absurd questions are answered with good old fashioned sarcasm and hilarity. All in all, pretty much something for everyone.
You know that you have secretly longed to know the answer to each and every one of the questions above, and I guarantee that the rest of the fare will be just as satisfying and intriguing. Why Do Men Have Nipples? and Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? are two absolute must haves for anyone who has ever been too embarrassed to ask their doctor stupid random questions. Why not take advantage of other people who have already asked them of Dr. Billy Goldberg?
