Untrue: why nearly everything we believe about women and lust and infidelity is untrue

A jaw-dropping re-evaluation of everything we thought we knew about men, women, and sex.

---

Men are biologically programmed to want sex with lots of different women, whereas women are designed to stay true to one person, right?


Wrong.


In Untrue, New York Times -bestselling author Wednesday Martin reveals that we are just at the beginning of understanding women's sexuality properly. From New York to Namibia to a conference of sex researchers in Montreal, she takes us on a journey to understand women who refuse monogamy, posing questions about why we became sexually exclusive in the first place.


Martin attends all-female sex parties where married straight women fulfill their fantasies; considers contemporary societies where women take many lovers; analyses how the invention of the plough suppressed female autonomy; and presents fascinating research about why women stray (their motivations are not so different from men's).


Frank and myth busting, Untrue validates the desires of women everywhere, including the `silent majority' in committed relationships who struggle with staying faithful.
