Recenzje

It s rare that a book hits the cultural moment with the precision of Rethinking Sex. Exploring very new attitudes toward this very old act, Christine Emba finds an entirely changed landscape from even a few years ago. Casual sex no longer prevails, catching feelings isn't a cause for embarrassment, and even though the kids aren t alright at the moment, there is much cause for optimism. Vanessa Grigoriadis, author of Blurred Lines

Rethinking Sex is an overdue attempt at writing down the very real frustrations that many have with today s mating market, warped as it has become by cheap sex, marital substitutes, and all the other reasons that drive us away from the formation of the permanent relationships so many crave. The market mentality is entrenched, but Emba points readers to toward the way out. Mark Regnerus, author of Cheap Sex
