Synopsis

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.

Everything you wanted to know about the sex life of your favourite superhero but were too afraid to ask (and a few things that you probably didn't want to know).

Goodreads review by Paz on December 30, 2024

Thanks to NetGalley and BenBella Books for this advanced e-copy. When you take this premise (the title clearly gives away the content of this book) some people could have made it very crass, or very heavy on the science and therefore quite boring. However, Diana McCallum found the perfect balance bet......more
