In this groundbreaking work, Martin Zender asks the one question that no other book on human sexuality asks: Why is there sex in the first place?

From the genesis of eroticism in Eden to your bedroom, Divine Principles of Sexual Attraction demystifies the behaviors of both sexes, at the same time making both men and women content with who God made them.
