Why Men Fake It: The Totally Unexpected Truth About Men and Sex

Abraham Morgentaler, read by Stephen Hoye. Tantor Media, unabridged, eight CDs, 10 hrs., $39.99 ISBN 978-1-4526-1188-4

Medical doctor and Harvard professor Morgentaler uses real-life stories from his patients to take an insightful look at the state of male sexuality through the lenses of science, medicine, popular culture, and relationships, touching on a wide variety of topics, including premature ejaculation and the reasons men sometimes fake their orgasms. Narrator Stephen Hoye delivers a straightforward but subtle and entertaining performance. His narration is lively, his pacing steady, his enunciation clear. And Hoye relates the book’s complex, often scientific, subject matter with a personal but authoritative tone. The result is an intimate performance that is both forceful and informative—and one that will appeal to male and female listeners. A Henry Holt hardcover. (Apr.)
