Why read it?

1 author picked Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I laughed so hard and learned so much from this collection of science-based answers to fictional letters from animals.

Compared to reading newspaper advice columns, this book provides all the schadenfreude and none of the guilt since these animals didn’t actually write in for advice and don’t care whether or not you judge them for cannibalizing their mates.
