Chapter 1 What's A Billion Wicked Thoughts by Sai Gaddam"A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World's Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire" is a provocative book co-authored by Sai Gaddam, along with Ogi Ogas. The book explores the nature of human sexual desires through an analysis of online search data and user behavior. Utilizing vast amounts of data from internet searches, the authors reveal insights into what people actually desire, challenging conventional notions of sexuality. They discuss topics ranging from the differences in male and female fantasies to the influences of culture on erotic preferences. By examining how anonymous online behavior reflects deep-seated desires, Gaddam and Ogas provide a comprehensive look at human sexuality, ultimately suggesting that understanding these desires can lead to better sexual relationships and a deeper understanding of one's own needs. The book combines psychology, neuroscience, and data analysis to offer a fresh perspective on desire and attraction.Chapter 2 A Billion Wicked Thoughts by Sai Gaddam Summary"A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World's Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire" is a groundbreaking book co-authored by Sai Gaddam, along with Ogi Ogas. Published in 2011, the book explores the science of human desire, particularly focusing on sexual preferences and behaviors, by analyzing vast amounts of online data. Key Themes and Insights:Data-Driven Approach to Understanding Desire: The authors leverage data from online searches, adult websites, and digital interactions to gain insights into human desires. This empirical approach contrasts with traditional theories that often rely on small sample sizes or anecdotal evidence.Widespread Online Behavior: The book examines how the internet has significantly changed the way people explore their sexuality and desires. It suggests that online platforms reveal hidden facets of human behavior that were previously difficult to study.Gender Differences in Desire: One of the critical findings centers around the differences in male and female sexual desires. The authors observe that men tend to prefer visual stimuli and are often more straightforward in their desires, while women's desires may be influenced by contextual factors and tend to encompass a broader emotional spectrum.Fantasy and Reality: The authors delve into how fantasies differ from actual sexual preferences and behaviors. They discuss how fantasy serves various psychological functions, including escapism or validation of personal identities.Influence of Technology: The book highlights the impact of technology on human relationships and sexuality. It discusses phenomena like online dating and social media, exploring how they reshape the landscape of attraction and intimacy.The Role of Culture: Gaddam and Ogas argue that cultural factors significantly influence sexual desires. They analyze how different cultures exhibit unique expressions of sexuality and desire, shaped by societal norms and values. Conclusion:"A Billion Wicked Thoughts" merges psychology, neuroscience, and data analytics to paint a comprehensive picture of human sexual behavior. By utilizing the internet as a lens to study desires, Gaddam and Ogas provide insights that challenge traditional views on sexuality, offering a fresh perspective on how desire is formed, expressed, and influenced by both individual and societal factors.Chapter 3 A Billion Wicked Thoughts AuthorSai Gaddam is one of the co-authors of the book "A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World's Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire," which was released in 2011. The book discusses human sexual desires and preferences based on data from various online sources, such as search queries and adult websites, backed by research in psychology and...

One of the things I love about being an executive coach and organizational consultant is how creative I get to be and how many different things I get to try.Every year, at least 10 or 20 pretty significant books on related topics get published. They talk about personal performance, about how to get people to change, how to get teams to become more effective, and how to get organizational culture to shift. Helping clients navigate change is definitely fun, but it can also feel like an infinite candy shop. It's hard to choose a single approach as the right one, and hard to combine a bunch of different approaches into anything resembling a coherent strategy and action plan. And the truth is, when you look at the field of consulting and coaching, we don't have a great track record. As in, there's a lot of stuff that people do that seems nice—and just doesn't work. I remember when I first went back to graduate school for public health. I had this naive idea that anything that had a good message was good. So I thought that DARE—Drug Abuse Resistance Education; the drug education program where police would come into the community and tell kids not to do drugs—was great. And then I started looking at the research that DARE just didn't work. The kids who went through DARE were using drugs at least as much as kids who'd never been exposed to it. And then I started looking at abstinence-based sex education and realizing that there were more teen pregnancies there than in communities where kids were taught how to use birth control and how to talk to each other about sexuality and sex. Stuff that seemed like it was obvious, wasn't. Those revelatiopns made me realize how badly we need science in the social sciences to inform what we do. And that is all by way of teeing up today's guest, Dr. Richard Boyatzis, who's written a book called The Science of Change.It's a guide for changemakers, for practitioners, for scholars, for academics, for community organizers, for honorable politicians, and for activists.It explores key questions relating to how we bring about change.What's the recipe? What are the intructions. What are the key elements, and what are the tipping points to pay attention to?In other words, how do we put it all together and lead change effectively and not just creatively and heartfeltly. It's not an easy book. But it's for you if you really want to understand how to create change the most micro level—the personal—and in concentric rings outward, to the familial, communal, societal, and national levels.

Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos by: Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States by: James C. Scott This post represents a new feature (experiment?) I plan to occasionally write posts which take advantage of one or more books I read recently, but which aren't actually reviews of those books. See, for example, my last post: Superminds, States, and the Domestication of Humans.  Despite the fact that the books feature heavily in these posts, I assume my adoring fans still want actual reviews. But it doesn't make sense to wait until the next book review collection for those reviews to appear, nor does it make sense to cram the reviews into the original essay which was about something else. And so I thought that instead I would have the reviews quickly follow the essay as sort of supplementary material. So that's what this is. Let me know what you think.

Have you ever felt confused or ashamed by your sexual desires and turn-ons? Well, get ready to embrace the wonderful diversity of human sexuality without shame or judgment.   In this episode, Kirsten goes deep inside the sexual brain with the help of Dr. Ogi Ogas, a Harvard researcher and mathematical neurscientist who analyzes massive data sets from online searches, porn sites, erotic stories and more.   His findings shed scientific light on everything from the stark differences between male and female sexual cues to the paradoxical fetishes and fantasies we all share across cultures. You'll learn why men are so visually inclined, craving videos and images, while women tend to be turned on more by personalities and emotional context. We'll explore men's fascination with large penises, women's rape fantasies, and how our ancient primate hardwiring still influences modern desires around dominance, submission, and more.   Whether it's the reasons behind cuckolding or the erotic appeal of paranormal romance novels, Dr. Ogas maps out the neural circuitry driving our sexual thoughts and behaviors. Above all, you'll come away with a greater self-understanding and compassion for the full spectrum of sexual diversity. It's an eye-opening, judgment-free exploration of our deepest sexual desires.   Connect with Dr. Ogi Ogas https://www.ogiogas.com/   Connect with Kirsten Trammell https://www.instagram.com/nakedconnection/?hl=en https://www.thenakedconnection.com/   Explore BDSM and Discover Your Kinks?

Humans have long encountered experiences that challenge their rational ideas about the world. Encounters with angels, demons, fairies, gnomes, or other spirits have been the standards of folklore since time immemorial. We agree with Jung that these revelations are scientifically valuable, though best explored though any lens but materialism; i.e. physics. When we learn about common bizarre experiences, we learn about ourselves. Author Ogi Ogas joins us again, alongside Qualia Research Institute's Andrés Gómez Emilsson, to discuss close encounters with the modern version of those elusive, yet timeless, entities. We begin with the phenomenological approaches to studying consciousness. We then compare both guest's experience with non-human minds. Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!

"I got on the show, but then I quickly realized, yes, I had done a great job preparing for the questions and the mental part. But I had done nothing to prepare for the emotional part. Suddenly, I'm there. You're in a studio, there's people 360 degrees around you... the studio's designed to make you nervous", says Ogi Ogas. Ogi joins this episode to discuss being a game show contestant, what the type of music you listen to says about you, and how a mathematical approach can help you understand better about your autistic experience.

Real Alien Communication! Neuroscientist Kicked Out Of MIT For Talking To Aliens!The TruthSeekah Podcast welcomes an intriguing guest, Ogi Ogas. Ogi isn't just your average podcast guest; he comes with a background in Neuroscience and a claim that has left many in awe. He believes that his autism has granted him the unique ability to communicate with aliens and extraterrestrial intelligence. But the question that lingers in the minds of many is: does autism truly act as a bridge between our world and theirs?

Dr. Ogi Ogas is a computational neuroscientist, former Harvard scholar, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant. He's the author of two published books - "This is What it Sounds Like," about the cognitive signatures of individual music preferences, and "A Billion Wicked Thoughts," an analysis of human sexuality through the impartial lens of web searches. who has previously appeared on the DemystifySci podcast to explain how we've had a solution to the hard problem of consciousness for decades, and is back to discuss his upcoming book, "Large Gods for Small Children," a memoir where he lays out his lifelong relationship with Intex, and extraterrestrial intelligence. Ogas explains how his relationship with these cosmic minds has granted him insight into the mathematics of consciousness, a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe, and insight into the cosmic battles waged between distant advanced civilizations. Ogas explains how these interactions have led him to the mathematics of consciousness, an understanding of how the universe is made of minds, and perspective on the cosmic conflicts. 00:00:00 Go! 00:05:25 The Hard Problem 00:10:28 Biology of Pain 00:16:16 Patreon Ask 00:19:23 Where is the conscious resonance at? 00:25:35 ET Contact 00:35:50 Psychedelics as Portal 00:48:03 Axiomized Minds 00:53:41 Maze of Souls 00:58:15 To Create a Supermind 01:12:16 On the Verge of Death 01:25:52 DemystifySci 01:30:26 Higher Purpose 01:33:08 Mystic Mindset 01:43:19 Organizing Around Shared Values 01:51:09 Functional Compassion 01:56:32 Rainbow Black 02:09:53 Carl Sagan & Little Green Men 02:17:26 All We Have is Purpose 02:28:26 Closing Thoughts 02:39:10 Aiming Up 02:43:05 Math as Morality?

Hosts, Andrew Komarow and Eileen Lamb, speak with Ogi Ogas. Ogi is an autistic mathematical neuroscientist and author. He writes books about the mind. He describes himself as the “Rip Van Winkle of autism.” Ogi learned he was autistic in the 1990s, but then turned his back on the clinical/medical community so he could figure out how autism worked on his own. Obi just started learning about the autism community again last month.

Dr. Ogi Ogas is a theorist, author, and visiting scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he serves as Project Head for the Individual Mastery Project. Ogas boasts to be in possession of the end theory of consciousness, and he makes a rock solid case for it. You be the judge. Our conversation begins with an introduction to the problems of consciousness and walks through a topological framework for the emergence of increased complexity in biological awareness, culminating in rare cases of self-consciousness, perhaps best exemplified by our own species. We then consider the future evolution of consciousness as humans reach outward for the stars. Tell us what you think!

What the Music You Love Says About You.

We're joined by Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas to discuss the science of music and the brain, and Rogers also takes us behind the scenes of record-making and working with artists like Prince.

Music has a unique ability to evoke emotion and articulate a feeling or sentiment where words can fail.  Moreover, much like a romantic attachment, many of us form an intense connection to a specific song, genre or band but are never really sure why or where our specific attraction or pull comes from. Professor, author, producer (Barenaked Ladies) & audio engineer (Prince), Dr. Susan Rogers, joins us for a discussion of some of the core themes in her wonderful new book, This is What it Sounds Like - What the Music You Love Says About You.  In this discussion we cover:  why Dr. Rogers wanted to write this booktheories on why humans have the capacity to create and enjoy musicthe relationship between emotions and musicmusic as special form of touch (and not just as a metaphor)the neuroscience underlying music and emotional memorieshow are musical preferences are formed from a brain/psychological lenshow melody is experienced in the brain and the mixed emotions that a single melody can evokewhy the applications of various audio effects (reverb, echo, delay) can so greatly influence and enhance the listener's emotional experiencea consideration of the at times "culturally bound" nature of music e.g., why is it that  a band can be incredibly popular in one country while only enjoying limited success in another country (often for subtle or unknown reasons)?the science behind what makes some music universally loved music vs. being more of a niche preference how the quality of creativity may ebb and flow across the developmental lifespana brief reflection by Dr. Rogers' on Prince around the intersection of his talent with his work ethicComments or feedback?  Email the podcast: oicbtpodcast@gmail.com.  Enjoying the content?  Please consider providing a rating or review!Dr. Susan Rogers holds a doctorate in psychology from McGill University, where she studied music cognition and psychoacoustics under researchers Daniel Levitin and Stephen McAdams. Her research focuses on auditory memory, the perception of musical signals, and the influence of musical training on auditory development. For two decades prior to her science career, Rogers was one of the world's few women known for her work as a record producer, engineer, mixer, and audio electronics technician. Career highlights include years (1983–1988) as staff engineer for recording artist Prince and working with such diverse artists as Barenaked Ladies, David Byrne, Tricky, and Tevin Campbell. Rogers is the director of the Berklee Music Perception and Cognition Laboratory. Her new book ‘This is What it Sounds Like - What the Music You Love Says About You” co-authored with Ogi Ogas was released in the fall of 2022.  https://www.thisiswhatitsoundslike.com

Researchers are endlessly fascinated by questions of consciousness. Ogi Ogas was a Department of Homeland Security fellow at the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University and a research fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what it means to think and experience emotions and discuss why an even higher form of consciousness might be in our future. His book, co-authored with Sai Gaddam, is called “Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos.”

As Michigan gears up for midterm elections, Republicans in the state have tapped one ringleader who promoted attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6 and claims of a stolen 2020 election to recruit poll workers to administer elections. Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla joins us. Then, whether you like hip-hop or bluegrass music, there's a reason behind it. The new book "This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You" explores why people enjoy the music they do. Susan Rogers, who co-authored the book with Ogi Ogas, joins us. And, drone strikes hit Kyiv in the latest of Russia's attacks on Ukraine. The early-morning strikes killed at least three people on Monday. Missy Ryan, who covers national security for the Washington Post, joins us.

Why does your dad love bluegrass while your sister moshes to hardcore? Why do you still have a soft spot for that cheesy rock ballad you danced to in middle school? The question of why we like the music we like is as eternal as it is maddening. In This Is What It Sounds Like, Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas offer an answer. Today, Rogers is a cognitive neuroscientist and a professor at Berklee College of Music—but before that, she was Prince's chief engineer for his 1984 album, Purple Rain, and remains one of the most successful female record producers of all time. She has spent decades learning to listen, and This Is What It Sounds Like is a primer for understanding the concept of our innate “listener profile”—the dimensions of a song that our brains respond to. The book is an invitation to tune into musical self-awareness, and a celebration of the music that makes us feel most like ourselves, whoever we are.Go beyond the episode:This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You by Susan Rogers and Ogi OgasListen along to all the songs in the book, including the ones sampled in this episodeJoin the global record pull“Meet the Shaggs” in Susan Orleans's introduction to one of music's strangest legendsPreviously in Listening 101 on Smarty Pants: learn how to love operaTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Our show this week is for people who love music….or even just like music. And it doesn't matter what type of music you like so long as you like it. Our guest is Susan Rogers, a professor at Berklee College of Music who holds a PhD in psychology. But before she was a professor, she was a staff engineer and record producer for artists such as Prince, Barenaked Ladies, and David Byrne, making her one of the few women in the industry to have those accomplishments. Her book which she wrote with Ogi Ogas, a writer who trained as a computational neuroscientist, is called This is What it Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You and it came out just this week. It is a fascinating read but also very approachable for people who aren't neuroscientists or musicians but like to listen to music. - For show notes for any episode, go to our website at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com. - We are also on Instagram @perksofbeingabookloverpod and FB Perks of Being a BookLover Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- This is What it Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You by Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas 2-Dark Horse: Achieving Success Through the Pursuit of Fulfillment by Todd Rose and Ogi Ogas 3- Ariadne by Jennifer Saint 4- Circe by Madeline Miller 5- The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec 6- Mythology by Edith Hamilton 7- The Stone Loves the World by Brian Hall 8- I Should Be Extremely Happy In Your Company: A Novel of Lewis and Clark by Brian Hall 9- The History of the World in 100 Animals by Simon Barnes Shows mentioned-- Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom

“We have a privileged position. It has always been grand in the thinking that we humans are unique and special. We must look back to see how connected we are. That we are part of a continuum.” Two neuroscientists -- Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam -- have teamed up to provide a history of the brain and thinking beings on this earth. What was the planet like three billion years ago? How did oxygen and breathing develop simultaneously and make the planet hospitable? What is a sense of "self" that humans have that others lack? Where did language come from? Using all these fundamental questions as jumping off points, Daniel and his guests take a dive into the origins of thinking beings. The conversation also traces the development of the brain, from the simplest, tiny forms, through worms, fish, birds, dolphins, monkeys, humans, and...? As we look back and place our species on a continuum, where do we, where can we go from here? If you like what we do, please support the show.

Ogi Ogas, PhD, was a Department of Homeland Security Fellow at the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University and a research fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He coauthored Dark Horse, The End of Average, and Shrinks, which was longlisted for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. Sai Gaddam PhD, was a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Adaptive System at Boston University. He coauthored A Billion Wicked Thoughts. He lives in Mumbai.

Why do you exist? How did atoms and molecules transform into sentient creatures that experience longing, regret, compassion, and even marvel at their own existence? What does it truly mean to have a mind―to think? Science has offered few answers to these existential questions until now. Michael Shermer speaks with computational neuroscientist, Ogi Ogas, about his unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, self-awareness, and civilization arose incrementally out of chaos, and how leading cities and nation-states are developing “superminds,” and perhaps planting the seeds for even higher forms of consciousness.

I can't stop thinking about a concept I read in Dark Horse: Achieving Success Through the Pursuit of Fulfillment by Todd Rose and Ogi Ogas. It's called the gradient ascent. Instead of looking at the destination and plowing straight ahead, no matter what, you proceed until you need to recalibrate your direction. And change accordingly. I'm not sure why this has freed my thinking this week, but something feels different. And that change is showing up in expected places, from my mind and body to my bookshelves and living space.

Todd Rose, Co-founder of Populace, professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of Dark Horse with Ogi Ogas and The End of Average joins in Piazza to talk about why we're not doing research right, how personalization can change the future of work and education for the better, and just how much what bring us together matters more than what sets us apart.

Decades ago the Kinsey Institute infamously attempted to define the parameters of human sexual thought and behavior. Over the years books such as My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday have elaborated upon just how dirty the human mind can get. But it wasn't until Internet-driven research came along that we really found out what human beings think and do in private anonymity. This bold insight comes to you in large part courtesy of my guest, neuroscientist Dr. Ogi Ogas, along with his fellow researchers. So how did Ogi compile all of his research, and how can he know it's accurate? How did it differ from other scientists' expectations? What's up with women's 'rape fantasies', and how does what goes on in their romance novels differ from what happens in online porn? What other dark emotions are most prevalent in human sexual fantasies...and how are they often weirdly in conflict with each other? What is the one sexual fantasy we all seem to secretly have in common, regardless of our gender or sexual orientation? And how come the porn we choose to watch tends to depict something different than the sexual experiences we'd partake of IRL? Next, get Ogi's surprising thoughts on so-called 'female friendly' porn, and the REAL reason why women can be so resentful of mainstream porn designed for men. Are women watching porn at all? If so, how many of them...and what types of them? How do women really view porn usage by their significant others, and the fantasies associated with it? How many people partake of truly unusual or even illegal porn? And as men, are we really turned on by the types of women the media says we should be? Prepare to have your pre-conceived notions of what 'normal' fantasies look like completely upended.

This week, we discuss a nugget from the book "Dark Horse" by Todd Rose & Ogi Ogas. The authors studied hundreds of people who are super-successful in their field, but came to that success via very unconventional and circuitous routes. The book's basic premise is this: "Pursuing excellence doesn’t lead you to fulfillment, it’s the pursuit of fulfillment that leads you to excellence." There's lots of great stuff in this book, but the nugget we honed in on is what the authors call "micro-motives." We talk about how you can help your kid learn their own micro-motives and help them more easily find their way to what will fulfill them.Have a topic or question you'd like Jerome & Laura to talk about on Billboard Happiness?

According to the book, Dark Horse, society has systems of education and employment management that require us "to be the same as everyone else, only better." As designed, these systems are a zero-sum game with only limited opportunities for a few. Thus, these systems leave "most of us feeling disengaged, frustrated, and yearning for something more personal and authentic." Harvard researcher and Dark Horse coauthor Dr. Ogi Ogas discusses how real life dark horses are able to attaining personal fulfillment and professional success, not by following the standardize systems of society, but by tapping into each individual's micro-motives and then being willing to make decisions in the moment that reflect who they truly are. Achieving greater fulfillment is not about taking the standard pathway towards some long term goal, nor does it require the dark horse to be endowed with marvelous gifts. The dark horse mindset involves harnessing each person's individuality, not society's systems bent on conformity, in pursuit of personal satisfaction in order to achieve professional excellence. As part of the Dark Horse Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, researchers focused on many different individuals including several animal professionals including marine mammal trainers like former Zoo Logic guest, Ken Ramirez. Also, to celebrate World Penguin Day, we're joined by a penguin expert from SeaWorld San Diego to discuss the current status of these iconic flightless birds, as well as, SeaWorld's rich history and contributions to species other than orcas, dolphins, and sea lions.

Host Dr. Richard Louis Miller​ interviews Ogi Ogas, Ph.D., co-author of *A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the Internet Tells us About Sexual Relationships,* the book which informs us of exactly what pornography the United States is watching on the Internet. It has changed the way scientists and therapists think about sexual desire and divulged more private details about what really turns men and women on than any researcher since Alfred Kinsey. Computational Neuroscientist, Dr. Ogi Ogas, currently writes the Billion Wicked Thoughts blog for *Psychology Today.* https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/billion-wicked-thoughts

Our guest this evening is Ogi Ogas, author of A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the Internet Tells Us About Sexual Relationships. We will be discussing internet ography, romance novels, gays and straights, transsexuals, what turns on men, what turns on women, and the existence of internet and ography addictions.

In Greek mythology, Tiresias was a blind prophet, the most famous soothsayer of ancient Greece. Having angered a goddess, he was transformed into a woman as punishment. Seven years later, Tiresias was able to reverse the curse, and became male once again. Since Tiresias possessed the knowledge of being both a man and woman, he was revered by even the gods.Today's guest, Professor Ogi Ogas, is one of the first in history to see both male and female's secret sexual desires clearly and to extrapolate scientific explanations for them. The discoveries of Prof. Ogas and his academic partner, Sai Gaddam, came out of their background in cognitive neuroscience, and was bolstered by their brilliant use of the internet's empirical data. This work culminated in their groundbreaking book "A Billion Wicked Thoughts."While working for years in the porn business, I had an intuitive idea about what men were into, but I never had the science to back it up. Three years ago, I read Ogi's Wall Street Journal article about his ingenious research, and was awed by it. I sent him an email and, to my delight, he wrote me back. We became fast friends.

We have Dr. Ogi Ogas and Dr. Sai Gaddam on today speaking on their book A Billion Wicked Thoughts Dr. Ogi Ogas received his PhD in computational neuroscience from Boston University, where he designed mathematical models of learning, memory, and vision. Dr. Sai Gaddam 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... In a stroke of ingenuity, Ogas and Gaddam circumvent the deepest limitation of standard psychological surveys: that they merely tap undergraduates’ socially acceptable responses, a flaw nowhere more damaging than in the touchy realm of sexuality. A Billion Wicked Thoughts is a goldmine of information about this hugely important topic, and, not surprisingly, gripping and sometimes disturbing reading.” --Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Blank Slate
