Is sex with The Hulk technically a threesome? Does The Flash do everything faster? Has Wonder Woman really never faked an orgasm?

Explore these questions and more with this collection of speculative, comedic essays on how superpowers might affect the sex lives of famous superheroes. Based on genuine scientific research and both Marvel and DC comic book and movie canon (and more!), Sex Lives of Superheroes is a refreshingly frank and fun deep dive into the pros, cons, and plot twists of superpowered sex.

Drawing from biology, physics, psychology, and more to play out (wild, fictional) scenarios about superheroes' sex lives, this in-depth analysis will definitively answer your burning questions, including:

• How does sex ed from the 1930s and 1940s stack up to today's (and what does that mean for Captain America's love life)?
• Can Spider-Man do whatever a spider can . . . in bed?
• Does Green Lantern prove that sex is better in space?

With interludes detailing some of the strangest sexcapades in superhero history, and the closest sexual equivalents we have in the real world, Sex Lives of Superheroes is a testament that sometimes life is even stranger than fiction.

This enhanced audio edition features a bonus chapter of excerpts from the author's award-winning podcast Talk From Superheroes.

Research

The amount of science that went into examining what was a humorous and hypothetical topic was quite surprising. I honestly thought the book would be entirely comedic, but in the best possible way as someone who also likes science, I enjoyed this both as a learning and laughing experience.

Andrew's reading brought a certain amount of wryness to the audiobook, you can imagine him slyly smirking through many of these passages. Possibly the only other person I'd have liked to read this aloud to me, would have been Diana herself.

Great job everyone, and I really hope there *IS* a sequel.

Good and then not so much. Lol.

I thought this entire book was funny, interesting and overall super entertaining until we jumped headfirst into turtle penis. Lol. The entire section about animals and beastiality just wasn’t for me. Not only did I find it overall gross and weird but I also just didn’t find it interesting. I came here for superheroes, why are you telling me about the mating habits of spiders? It genuinely didn’t have enough to do with the spidey team to make it make sense for me.
