About This Quote

A famous Italian scientist Giuseppe Broda, a Nobel Prize winner, has some wise advice. He says that "sex is like eating: we should enjoy it only when we are hungry, never more than that". Giuseppe Broda is a biologist and one of the first scientists to describe human sexual behavior as an expression of the desire to reproduce and to help the species survive. He also has an important part in the discovery of the existence of sperms and eggs. Today he teaches science at the University of Turin.
