Sperm Wars
Infidelity, Sexual Conflict, and Other Bedroom Battles
Book • 1996
In 'Sperm Wars,' evolutionary biologist Robin Baker argues that every question about human sexuality can be explained by sperm warfare.
The book explores how evolution has built men to conquer and monopolize women while women seek the best genetic input from potential partners.
Through a series of provocative fictional scenes, Baker reveals the far-reaching implications of sperm competition, including the fact that 10% of children are not fathered by their 'fathers,' over 99% of a man's sperm exists to fight off other men's sperm, and women are more likely to conceive through casual flings than with regular partners.
The book covers topics such as infidelity, homosexuality, and the female orgasm, providing simple explanations for various aspects of human sexuality and updating its content with the latest research on sperm warfare.
