Sex feels good. So why don’t women offer it indiscriminately to every guy who hits on them?
Committed intimacy is the deepest human need. So why are men so terrified of it?
It’s not the way we’re raised. It’s biology. Sperm-spreaders and womb-protectors have inherited different emotions from evolution.

From Mike Chorost, author of Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human (Houghton Mifflin, 2005):
“Sperm and Eggs is funny, funny, funny — Joe Quirk must be the bastard love-child of Stephen Jay Gould and Steve Martin. But it’s not just science leavened with humor to make it go down better. The humor springs from Quirk’s perspective on life, which is both absurdist and loving.”
From Howard Bloom, visiting Scholar, Graduate School of Education, New York University, author of The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition into the Forces of History (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1995) and Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from The Big Bang to the 21st Century (John Wiley & Sons, 2000):
“It’s been over a quarter of a century since Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene and nearly a decade since Robert Wright’s The Moral Animal. It’s time for a good update on evolutionary psychology.
“This is not just a good update, it is an approach filled with delight, one that’s aimed straight at the heart and soul of your daily life and mine. Joe Quirk’s Sperm Are From Men, Eggs Are From Women, will reach out and grab the mass audience of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and show them how science can guide them through their life. Reading it is stealing a treat — snacking on a pastry made specially for you in the private kitchen of a five-star chef.”
From Isadora Alman, Sexologist, nationally syndicated columnist of “Ask Isadora,” and author of Sex Information: May I Help You? (Down There Press, 1992), Ask Isadora (Masquerade Books, 1989) Let’s Talk Sex (The Crossing Press, 1993) and Doing It: Real People Having Really Good Sex (Conari Press, 2001):
“The factors influencing the mating behavior of the sluts and studs among your hairy faced ancestors make delectable reading. What’s more, these facts are startlingly applicable to your own very present-day meeting and mating behavior. And you thought it was all about personal charm? Joe Quirk’s book, Sperm Are From Men, Eggs Are From Women, in a most entertaining manner, will let you know differently.”
From Karen E. James, PhD, evolutionary & developmental geneticist at The Natural History Museum in London, England:
“Seamlessly blending science, sex, and humor in his book, Sperm Are From Men, Eggs Are From Women, Joe Quirk tempts us with the promise of sexual revelation, and then delivers with an alternately hilarious and astonishing primer on the modern evolutionary theories of human sexual behavior. Quirk’s charming combination of corny puns and dry wit leads us, laughing, through what might otherwise be some daunting scientific territory. He plays peek-a-boo with our oldest, most primal urges, triple-dog daring us to confront the possibility that our desires, jealousies, fetishes, and even our deepest emotions are merely the products of our primate past. All who accept the dare will be transformed into scientific thinkers, for observing how we deviate from Quirk’s evolutionary stereotypes– and wondering why– is perhaps the most tempting exercise of all.”
From Steve M. Potter, PhD, neuroengineer, inventor of Hybrot, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology:
“Quirk’s irreverent, personal style makes learning a lot about sociobiology fun! Expect to be shocked, amazed, disgusted, amused, and in the end, a little wiser about how you approach members of the opposite sex.”
