About this audiobook
Award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe, following her hit book Animal, turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans - sex, power and money. Deciding to confront her fear of the male libido, Pascoe delves into such questions as:
Why don't people care about the welfare of the people they masturbate to?
and
Why is there such stigma around those who work in the sex industry?
when
Some women still want men to buy their dinner?
In this comedic and educational hopscotch over anatomy, the history of sexual representation and the sticky way all human interactions are underwritten by wealth, Pascoe explores whether we'll ever be able to escape the Conundrum of Heterosexuality if women can't help but admire status, and men obsess about youth and physicality.
Drawing on anecdotal experience, unqualified opinion, interviews and research, Sex Power Money is thought-provoking and riotously funny: a fresh take on the oldest discussion.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic, can’t believe I haven’t thought of half the stuff Sarah points out.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well, that was enlightening. As a man, I would have preferred to hear ‘some’, before her general observations of men.
I think I’m a good husband, but this’ll make me a better one.
