DESCRIPTION: Modern sexual ethics consider that “anything goes” when it comes to sex – if everyone says yes and does it enthusiastically. So why, even when consent has been verified, are so many of our sexual experiences filled with frustration, disappointment, even shame?
Journalist and Washington Post columnist Christine Emba believes that the rules that make up the current sexual code, requiring only consent, may be the cause of our sexual unhappiness, not the solution. In her latest book, Rethinking Sex, Christine shows how consent is a good ethical floor but a terrible ceiling. Through her work and writing, she examines how cultural, historical, and psychological forces have distorted our idea of sex: what is allowed and what is considered "safe." From #MeToo to the Aziz Ansari scandal to the phenomenal response to 'Cat Person,' Christine believes a view of sex based solely on consent has hijacked our ability to form authentic, lasting relationships, leaving us vulnerable to isolation. and chronic resentment.
Returning to the wisdom of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Andrea Dworkin, drawing on sociological studies, student interviews, and poignant examples from her own life, Christine calls for a more humane philosophy, one that begins with the consent but which takes into account the true emotional, mental, social and political implications of sex – even, she asserts – whether it means saying no to certain sexual practices or challenging societal expectations.
Christine Emba and Michelle Marzullo, CIIS professor and program director of the Department of Human Sexuality, invite us to imagine what it means to want the good of others and, in return, achieve greater affirmation, greater fulfillment and greater satisfaction for ourselves.
