About this ebook
A witty, honest, and thought-provoking exploration of modern sexuality and the search for love in the digital age
Emily Witt, single and in her thirties, had long imagined her sexual experiences would eventually lead to a traditional, monogamous relationship. But as she explores Internet dating, pornography, polyamory, and avant-garde sexual subcultures, Witt begins to question the conventional attitudes surrounding sex and the single woman.
In Future Sex, Witt captures the strangeness, ridiculousness, and beauty of these contemporary pursuits of connection and pleasure. Through an open-minded and honest account, she examines the possibilities offered by modern technology and changing cultural norms.
This book is a fresh, moving, and funny antidote to traditional views on women's sexuality, romantic relationships, and the search for love in 21st century America. Witt's engaging feminist memoir will resonate with anyone navigating the complex landscape of sex, dating, and relationships today.
