Bonk roach5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() The daughter of a Dartmouth College professor and a secretary, Roach was raised in New Hampshire, where she "didn't quite fit in" at the local high school where most kids were "jocks."Īnother failed idea was the "Penile Wrap," designed to heighten arousal with outfits such as a ghost, the grim reaper and a snowman. "How you bring it into the lab and study it is a conundrum." ![]() "Sex is so intimate and personal and emotional, and science is so clinical," she said. It took Roach two years to research and write the book. The walrus sports the largest one, and Inuits use it for war clubs. Unlike dogs and other mammals, men don't have penile bones. Roach has discovered the term "boner" is also a misnomer. She also witnessed a Danish pig farm where sows were stimulated with vibrators to improve their conception rates. Roach stuck her nose in a Taiwanese lab where penises culled from cadavers were skinned like snakes in an effort to find a cure for impotence. ![]() Her two previous books also explore oddities with humor: "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" (2003) and "Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife" (2005).Ĭurious is the operative word. She has written about Eskimo food, flatulence, vaginal weight-lifting, carrot addiction and amputee bowling leagues. The 49-year-old is no stranger to strange topics. ![]()
