Future sex - emily witt

A funny, fresh, and moving antidote to conventional attitudes about sex and the single woman Emily Witt is single and in her thirties.

Up until a few years ago, she still envisioned her sexual experience eventually reaching a terminus, like a monorail gliding to a stop at Epcot Center.

Like many people, she imagined herself disembarking, finding herself face-to-face with another human being, and there we would remain in our permanent station in life: the future.

But, as many of us have found, things are more complicated than that.

Love is rare and frequently unreciprocated.

Sexual experience doesnt necessarily lead to a future of traditional monogamy--and why should it? Have we given up too quickly on the alternatives? In Future Sex , Witt explores Internet dating, Internet pornography, polyamory, and avant-garde sexual subcultures as sites of possibility.

She observes these scenes from within, capturing them in all their strangeness, ridiculousness, and beauty.

The result is an open-minded, honest account of the contemporary pursuit of connection and pleasure.
