Sex in the Era of Consent

The modern woman finds herself in a difficult position. "If you want to enjoy sex, you shouldn't be shy about discussing your desires! Just explain to your partner what you need! You have the right to do so!" she hears... time and again. But what if she doesn't know what she needs and what she wants?.. Society pushes women towards actively demonstrating their sexuality and instills the idea that sexual liberation is emancipation. But isn’t it the same society that places the responsibility on her to prevent sexual violence?..
In the provocative, elegantly written book "Sex in the Era of Consent," the author attempts to address these and many other issues that face sexual ethics today. By drawing on scientific research and phenomena of mass culture, pornographic films, and contemporary literary works, reflecting on the #MeToo movement and the concept of sexual consent, Katherine Angel challenges traditional notions of sexual attraction, the pleasure of sex, and violence, inviting readers to embark on a winding path of self-discovery alongside her.
