The Bigger Bang Theory is a work of creative non-fiction in the satire subgenre and was penned by author T.J. Sapp. Written for mature adult reading audiences, this tongue-in-cheek work of erotica focuses on the subject of sex in a uniquely fictional way that blends narrative and fact. Told in three episodic sections, we follow the journey of sex, sexual discovery, and pleasure-seeking from the ancient past and the days of Caligula right through to imaginings of the sexual future of mankind with robots and new developments in modern relationships. Many myths and mysteries are debunked, and the work explores its sensitive subject matter in an open, pithy, and direct fashion.

Author T.J. Sapp has crafted a fascinating work on what sex means to a wide variety of people and how this most natural of acts has become such a hot topic and cause for concern, rebellion, revolution, and secrecy over the years. Personally, I found the Future section the most intriguing, with some very interesting points about the dystopian view of sex in relation to traditional gender roles and what that means moving forward. The mix of fact and fiction gives it a unique reading style that makes it simpler to engage with. Sapp also writes with a great sense of humor which I think will work well for people who may feel a little awkward or embarrassed by some of the topics presented. Whatever the case, any curiosity you have about the world of sex can surely be answered in The Bigger Bang Theory.

At the heart of T.J. Sapp’s The Bigger Bang Theory is the topic about an integral element in the survival of our species: sex. Don’t think that this book merely aims to titillate. This is a work of fiction with historical and scientific references. It is an exploration of themes divided into three parts. It begins with a step back into the prehistoric and early eras of reproduction. The second part tackles the theme of sex in the modern age and how it remains mysterious based on the inexhaustible spate of questions that we ask about relationships and sexuality. The third takes a futuristic look at the subject and how artificial intelligence would play a role in this basic biological need.

The Bigger Bang Theory is a fascinating and enjoyable story that is both sensuous and informative. In terms of the theme explored, it is very well done. T. J. Sapp knows his subject, and he fills the work with intriguing quotes and facts. Now that sex has become a mainstream topic, even if it still makes a few extreme conservatives uneasy, it is laudable to read authors like Sapp, who write about it with finesse and intelligence. I have read sex stories influenced by movies and books, but Sapp writes because of that spark of curiosity to further understand who and what we are. I highly recommend The Bigger Bang Theory to anyone who wants to know why we keep engaging in this three-letter word. Yes, because it feels good, and biology designed it that way to ensure the survival of our species. But Sapp will offer more takes on the matter.
