Nature. Science. Nonfiction. Forget the Kama Sutra. When it comes to inventive sex acts, just look to the sea. There we find the elaborate mating rituals of armored lobsters; giant right whales engaging in a lively threesome whilst holding their breath; full moon sex parties of groupers and daily mating blitzes by blueheaded wrasse. Deep-sea squid perform inverted 69s, while hermaphrodite sea slugs link up in giant sex loops. From doubly endowed sharks to the maze-like vaginas of some whales, Sex in the Sea is a journey unlike any other to explore the staggering ways life begets life beneath the waves. Sex in the Sea uniquely connects the timeless topic of sex with the timely issue of sustainable oceans. Through overfishing, climate change, and ocean pollution we are disrupting the creative procreation that drives the wild abundance of life in the ocean. With wit and scientific rigor, Marah J. Hardt introduces us to the researchers and innovators who study the wet and wild sex lives of ocean life and offer solutions that promote rather than prevent, successful sex in the sea. Part science, part erotica, Sex in the Sea discusses how we can shift from a prophylactic to a more propagative force for life in the ocean.… (mehr)

Very low star rating ~ for my tastes, way too fluffy for a factual book. The potential for interesting life cycle biology was obscured by an almost prurient emphasis on sex acts. I expected more insights on the fragility of the marine ecosystem and its crucial contribution to the environmental health of our planet. To be fair, there are snippets here and there that allude to this situation, but the fluffy science detracted from the message. Just not a book for me, I guess. ( )

This book was ok (which I'll remind y'all, is what 2 stars means... didn't like it enough to give it a 3. MAYYYYBE 2.5). The information was solid, and pop culture human analogies are a great way to personify how various aquatic denizens do the deed. However, it just didn't capture my attention- normally I read quickly, but this took me months and I read other books while trying this one. Maybe it tried just a little TOO hard to be like a gabby gal pal? The pop culture references will also date this book, in my opinion.

From ratings, it looks like most people like this, so it succeeds in its goal of reaching a broad audience for its message of marine conservation. This is the strong point of the book, where after giving all the lurid details of denizens of the deep, Hardt makes that the case as to why we should care about not interfering with oceanic sexytimes, and different ways we can do so from habitat protection to changing our eating habits.
