How to think about sex in the 21st century? This book presents a questioning, challenging feminist perspective that invites reflection.

How to think about sex in the 21st century? This book proposes in various essays a way of approaching it from a feminist perspective, in light of events and debates that have reached public opinion. The author reflects on consent after #MeToo, sexual assaults and the myths around false rape reports; about pornography and teenagers; about misogyny and men who feel rejected in the sexual field; about how race, class and religion influence the chances of suffering sexual violence…

Amia Srinivasan understands sex as a political phenomenon, debates the boundaries between freedom and pornography, connects rape with social and racial injustice, sexuality with power, and suggests what needs to be done to change attitudes, prejudices and clichés that perpetuate violence against women and other scourges.

A combative, brave and ambitious proposal, which does not avoid controversy. A book capable of delving into the complexities and ambivalences of sexuality with a highly intelligent analytical perspective that proposes an ethics of desire.

"Laser-cut prose and dazzling intelligence" (Lisa Taddeo).

"An extraordinary and unparalleled author: no one scans an argument, a desire, a contradiction, a defense mechanism like her... An invigorating revivification of a crucial lineage of feminist writing" (Jia Tolentino).

«Srinivasan demonstrates how a feminist philosopher can emancipate our basic ethical concepts from the dominance of patriarchy, capitalism and state racism; a remarkable and very promising work” (Judith Butler).
