Publisher's summary

** THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 5 BESTSELLER **

** FEATURED ON BBC ARTS' BETWEEN THE COVERS **

Award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans - sex, power and money.

'A genuinely hilarious explanation of the science of sex' FRANKIE BOYLE

'I've never read a book so fast and laughed so loudly while learning so much. Pascoe is a sage for our times.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, The Guilty Feminist

Following her hit book Animal, Sara Pascoe decides to confront her fear of the male libido, and turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans, delving into such questions as:

Why don't people care about the welfare of the people they masturbate to?

and

Why is there such stigma around those who work in the sex industry?

when

Some women still want men to buy them dinner?

In this comedic and educational hopscotch over anatomy, the history of sexual representation and the sticky way all human interactions are underwritten by wealth, Pascoe explores whether we'll ever be able to escape the Conundrum of Heterosexuality. Drawing on anecdotal experience, unqualified opinion, interviews and original research, Sex Power Money is thought-provoking and riotously funny: a fresh take on the oldest discussion.

'Important, timely, poignant, mind-blowing and VERY FUNNY. Written with kindness, bravery and ridiculous attention to detail, it will make you feel cleverer without all the usual effort.' AISLING BEA

Light, entertaining, and wittingly funny

An enjoyable, entertaining book. Nothing too serious, just light humor and frequently thought provoking. Nice narration and a fun listen.

Brilliant.

I read a review for this book that said it wasn’t too serious and that couldn’t be more false. Sara dives into everything concerning males, sex, porn and sex work. I learned quite a bit. While I come from a much different political stand point as Sara, I appreciate her depth of research and open mindedness to opposing views. It certainly makes me trust her work more. Great book Sara!
