| Review | "There's a strange paradox in today's developed world: society has never been more sexualized, but people across all age groups and demographics are having less sex than ever before. And nobody seems to know why or what to do about it. The "fearless" Dr. Debra Soh leaves no stone unturned as she searches for science-backed answers. She takes us on a roller-coaster journey through ideological debates, new technological frontiers, and modern dating to understand the whys and hows of this issue. Soh peels back the flashy headlines to reveal the core evolutionary drives at play, and explains how instincts honed over thousands of years have been scrambled by a new, unprecendented social environment. With an expert and impartial eye, Soh examines these evolving and controversial trends and layers her findings with anecdotes from her personal research. She guides readers to the front lines of the new sexual revolution, where sex robots, dating apps, internet pornography, and other technological developments have combined with current social values to leave millions of people more lonely and less intimate than ever before."
