具体描述
Two maverick neuroscientists use the world's largest psychology experiment-the Internet-to study the private activities of millions of men and women around the world, unveiling a revolutionary and shocking new vision of human desire that overturns conventional thinking.
For his groundbreaking sexual research, Alfred Kinsey and his team interviewed 18,000 people, relying on them to honestly report their most intimate experiences. Using the Internet, the neuroscientists Ogas and Gaddam quietly observed the raw sexual behaviors of half a billion people. By combining their observations with neuroscience and animal research, these two young neuroscientists finally answer the long-disputed question: what do people really like? Ogas and Gaddam's findings are transforming the way scientists and therapists think about sexual desire.
In their startling book, Ogas and Gaddam analyze a "billion wicked thoughts" on the Internet: a billion Web searches, a million individual search histories, a million erotic stories, a half-million erotic videos, a million Web sites, millions of online personal ads, and many other enormous sources of sexual data in order to understand the true differences between male and female desires, including:
•Men and women have hardwired sexual cues analogous to our hardwired tastes-there are sexual versions of sweet, sour, salty, savory, and bitter. But men and women are wired with different sets of cues.
•The male sexual brain resembles a reckless hunter, while the female sexual brain resembles a cautious detective agency.
•Men form their sexual interests during adolescence and rarely change. Women's sexual interests are plastic and change frequently.
•The male sexual brain is an "or gate": A single stimulus can arouse it. The female sexual brain is an "and gate": It requires many simultaneous stimuli to arouse it.
•When it comes to sexual arousal, men prefer overweight women to underweight women, and a significant number of men seek out erotic images of women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
•Women enjoy writing and sharing erotic stories with other women. The fastest growing genre of erotic stories for women are stories about two heterosexual men having sex.
•Though the male sexual brain is much more different from the female sexual brain than is commonly believed, the sexual brain of gay men is virtually identical to that of straight men.
Featuring cutting-edge, jaw-dropping science, this wildly entertaining and controversial book helps readers understand their partner's sexual desires with a depth of knowledge unavailable from any other source. Its fascinating and occasionally disturbing findings will rock our modern understanding of sexuality, just as Kinsey's reports did sixty years ago.
作者简介
Ogi Ogas received his PhD in computational neuroscience from Boston University, where he designed mathematical models of learning, memory, and vision. Ogi was a Department of Homeland Security Fellow and conducted biodefense research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He resides in Boston.
Sai Gaddam, PhD, conducted his doctoral research at Boston University on biologically inspired models of machine learning. He collaborated with Hewlett- Packard to design nanoscale processors that mimic noisy, massively parallel brain computations, and now offers his data mining expertise to companies looking to understand customer preferences. He splits his time between Boston and Hyderabad, India.

用户评价
初读这本书时，我几乎被那种冷峻而精准的语言风格所震撼。它不像某些畅销书那样追求华丽辞藻的堆砌，而是用一种近乎新闻报道般的克制，去描绘那些极具冲击力的事件。然而，这种克制反而带来了更强大的力量，它将情感的爆发点留给了读者自己去填充，留下了巨大的想象空间。我尤其喜欢作者在处理社会议题时的视角，他没有直接给出答案，而是将复杂的社会结构、历史的沉淀，通过一个个鲜活的小人物的命运展现出来。这使得整本书读起来，不仅是阅读一个故事，更像是在进行一场深刻的社会学田野调查。我发现自己不自觉地开始留意周围的世界，思考那些隐藏在表象之下的权力运作和人性博弈。那种沉甸甸的、思考后的满足感，是快餐式阅读无法比拟的。值得一提的是，这本书的场景转换处理得相当高明，从繁华都市的霓虹闪烁到偏远角落的尘土飞扬，每一个场景的切换都带着明确的象征意义，像是在引导读者完成一次精神上的朝圣之旅。
这本书的叙事手法实在让人耳目一新，作者似乎有一种魔力，能将看似毫不相关的碎片化的场景无缝地编织在一起，形成一幅宏大而又细腻的时代画卷。我特别欣赏它在人物塑造上的深度挖掘，那些活在文字中的灵魂，他们的挣扎、他们的选择，都带着一种令人心碎的真实感。读到某些段落时，我甚至能清晰地感受到那种复杂的情绪涌上来，就好像我自己就是故事里的某个角色，身处那个特定的时空背景下，被迫做出艰难的抉择。这本书的节奏控制得极好，时而舒缓如春日暖阳，让我们沉浸在日常的细微美好中；时而又骤然紧张，如同暴风雨前的压抑，让人屏住呼吸，迫不及待地想知道接下来会发生什么。而且，它没有用那种老套的、非黑即白的道德判断来衡量人物，而是深入探讨了人性的多面性，让读者在阅读过程中不断地自我反思，这种阅读体验是极其难得的。我感觉作者对生活本身有着深刻的洞察，笔下的世界观既充满哲思，又脚踏实地，让人在合上书页后，还能久久回味，甚至影响到自己对现实世界的看法。
说实话，我很少遇到能让我如此沉迷于其构建的世界观的文学作品。这本书的背景设定非常宏大，但作者并没有迷失在细节的堆砌中，而是巧妙地将叙事锚定在了几个关键人物的内心世界。读这本书，就像是戴上了一副特殊的眼镜，让你能够窥见人类行为动机中最隐秘、最不为人知的角落。它探讨的主题非常大胆，涉及到了关于自由意志、集体记忆和个体反抗的深刻命题，这些都是需要反复咀嚼才能体会其精髓的内容。我发现自己经常需要停下来，合上书本，对着天花板沉思几分钟，才能消化掉刚才读到的那段关于“选择的重量”的描述。从文学技巧上讲，作者对意象的运用达到了炉火纯青的地步，比如某件反复出现的信物，它从一个单纯的物件，逐渐异化成某种身份的标签，乃至最终成为某种精神寄托的载体，这种层层递进的处理，令人拍案叫绝。这本书绝对不是那种读完就丢的读物，它更像是一本需要被珍藏、被反复翻阅的哲学引言。
我必须承认，这本书的阅读门槛稍微高了一些，它要求读者具备一定的耐心和对复杂叙事结构的适应能力。它不是那种能让你轻松跳跃阅读的书，每一个句子似乎都承载着不容忽视的信息量。但一旦你适应了作者的“语境”，你会发现自己进入了一个充满智慧和洞察力的世界。这本书最成功的地方，在于它构建了一套自洽的逻辑系统，在这个系统中，所有的行为和后果都有其深刻的内在关联，即便看似荒谬的场景，回过头来看，也都能找到其合理的解释。我特别喜欢作者在结尾部分采用的那种开放式的处理方式，没有给出明确的结论，而是将最终的解释权交给了读者。这种不确定性，恰恰是这本书高级感的体现——它拒绝成为一个简单的教条，而是成为一个持续激发思考的平台。读完后，我感觉自己的思维模式似乎也被微妙地调整了，变得更加擅长在混沌中寻找秩序，在表象下挖掘本质。这是一次对智识和情感双重极限的挑战，也是一次值得的投入。
这本书的阅读体验非常独特，它仿佛是一首由不同乐器演奏的交响乐，每一个章节都有自己独立的旋律和节奏，但最终汇聚成一股强大而和谐的合奏。我特别欣赏作者如何平衡叙事的密度和情感的张力。有时，作者会用极简的对话推动剧情，制造出一种令人窒息的紧张感；而有时，他又会用大段的内心独白，细腻地描摹人物在面对巨大生活压力时的微小挣扎。这种张弛有度的叙事节奏，让读者始终保持着高度的投入。更让我欣赏的是，作者在处理悲剧性元素时，没有陷入过度煽情的俗套，而是用一种近乎冷静的笔触去记录，反而让那种宿命般的悲凉感更加深入骨髓。我甚至觉得，这本书更像是一面镜子，它折射出的不是作者的观点，而是我们每个人在面对复杂人性时，内心深处的犹豫和摇摆。看完这本书，我感到一种精神上的“洗礼”，它让我重新审视了“勇气”和“妥协”在生命中的不同定义。
感觉还是比较简单浅显，不够深入
有点意思。但我实在是doubt the validity of the methodology.
比风评好很多啊，没新意是真的，但全面和风趣
感觉还是比较简单浅显，不够深入
书籍添加条目不需要审核咩。。
