The Doctor Is In . . . Again!
Did the mega-bestselling Why Do Men Have Nipples? exhaust your curiosity about stuff odd, icky, kinky, noxious, libidinous, or just plain embarrassing? No, you say? Well, good, because the doctor and his able-bodied buddy are in! Again! Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D., now take on the differences between the sexes—those burning questions like Why doesn’t my husband ever listen? or Why does my wife ALWAYS have to pee? And of course, Why do men fall asleep after sex?, plus plenty of others to keep you fully informed.
Full of smart and funny answers to an onslaught of new questions, all in a do-ask-we’ll-tell spirit that entertain and teaches you something at the same time, Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? offers the real lowdown on everything everyone wants to know about all things anatomical, medical, sexual, nutritional, animal, and mineral, but would only ask a physician after a few too many, like:
• Why do you have a “bionic” sense of smell when you’re pregnant?
• Does peeing in the shower cure athlete’s foot?
• Is a dog’s mouth clean?
• Can you breastfeed with fake boobs?
• Does thumb sucking cause buckteeth?
• Do your eyebrows grow back if shaved?
Bigger, funnier, and better than ever, Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? proves that in the battle of the sexes, as in most things, a little Q&A is a safe, effective, minimally invasive remedy.
Also available as an eBook

About the author

Show More
Mark Leyner is an American postmodernist author.
Leyner employs an intense and unconventional style in his works of fiction. His stories are generally humorous and absurd: In The Tetherballs of Bougainville, Mark's father survives a lethal injection at the hands of the New Jersey penal system, and so is freed but must live the remainder of his life in fear of being executed, at New Jersey's discretion, in any situation and regardless of collateral damage. They frequently incorporate elements of meta-fiction: In the same novel, an adolescent Mark produces a film adaptation of the story of his father's failed execution, although he reads a newspaper review of the movie to the prison's warden, and then dies, before even leaving the prison. At the sentence level, Leyner uses sprawling imagery and an extravagant vocabulary, bordering on prose poetry.
Leyner has also worked as a columnist for Esquire and George magazines, and as a writer for the MTV program Liquid Television. He also co-wrote and voiced a short-lived series of audio fiction called Wiretap.
Leyner is most famously critiqued in David Foster Wallace's essay "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction." Despite this and appearances on David Letterman, Leyner remains a cult figure, though this may change as he switches over to the higher profile world of television development. (He has not written any novels for quite some time, presumably in order to devote more time to this new medium.)
Recently Leyner has collaborated with Dr. Billy Goldberg on three humorous, though fact-based, books on medicine.
He is credited with co-authoring the screenplay of War, Inc.

This book is funny. Well, it depends on what you find funny. If you like the Doctor Drew type of humor, you will like this. The other book previous to this was called "Why do men have nipples?" These guys crack me up. And yes, science can be funny.

It was funny and informative. A good random time-to-time read (or bathroom book).

Interesting, informative, entertaining. Leyner and Dr. Goldberg answer difficult to ask health questions in easy to understand language with a touch of humor. Admittedly, not as entertaining as the previous title, Why Do Men Have Nipples?, but just as informative.

How I Heard About It: I've randomly seen its predecessor, "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" and was slightly interested. It wasn't until I receieved this book as a gift that I really got into it.
How I Procured It: My friend Richard gave it to me for my birthday, and promptly embarrassed me in front of all my dinner guests.
Type: Humor/Facty sort of book/Medical Reference?
Ratings: Story/Content: 4/5 Writing: 3/5
Who would I recommend it to? Anyone who's ever asked those weird health questions, like "Will a watermelon seed really grow in your stomach?" and "What is the hangy-ball thing in the back of your throat for?"
Did it remind me of anything? The IM sections reminded me of some of the conversations I've had with friends, although we're not as witty as they are.
Would I read it again? Sure, it's an entertaining, brain-numbing book. I love it.
Comments: Some of the IM passages get a little hard to follow, but the introductions about their so-called mental health "practice" are hularious. Like I said, this isn't a hard book to read. It's a beach-read. Even the scientific, medical parts are easy to get through, and funny at that.
