A Billion Wicked Thoughts explores the complexities of human sexuality by analysing vast amounts of online behavioural data. Neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam uncover the stark differences between male and female sexual desires and reveal why men are more visually stimulated while women’s desires are more complex to predict. Drawing on modern data far beyond Alfred Kinsey’s mid-twentieth-century research, this book offers new insights that challenge conventional views and deepen understanding of romantic and sexual attraction.

The book on sex in the twenty-first century

"Alfred Kinsey only scratched the surface. Interviewing a mere 18,000 horny humans? Please . . . Drs. Ogas and Gaddam offer hot new scientific findings." - The Washington Post

Want to know what really turns your partner on? A Billion Wicked Thoughts offers the clearest picture ever of the differences between male and female sexuality and the teeming diversity of human desire. What makes men attracted to images and so predictable in their appetites? What makes the setup to a romantic evening so important for a woman? Why are women's desires so hard to predict?

Neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam reveal the mechanics of sexual relationships based on their extensive research into the mountains of new data on human behaviour available in online entertainment and traffic around the world. Not since Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s has there been such a revolution in our knowledge of what is really going on in the bedroom. What Ogas and Gaddam learned, and now share, will deepen and enrich the way you, and your partner, think and talk about sex.
