SYDNEY, Australia (Wireless Flash) -- A new math book could make the subject a lot more interesting for bored teenagers: It shows the connections between crunching numbers and having sex.
"Mathematics and Sex" (Allen & Unwin), uses math equations to answer age-old questions such as, "How many people do I have to sleep with before I find the perfect partner," and "How do male and female orgasms compare?"
Author Clio Cresswell says math has a better track record for predicting outcomes than psychology or other sciences that are traditionally used to analyze sex.
Applying math to sex is useful, she says, because it reveals consistent human behavior patterns which can give us more insight into our sex lives.
While it is Cresswell's dream to stir up passion about math with her book, she admits some prudes may get in the way -- such as the school officials who confiscated the title when her friend's teenage daughter brought it to class.
Already a hit in Australia, "Mathematics and Sex" hits the U.S. next week.
