should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do a supposedly private
act laden with public meaning a personal preference shaped by outside forces a place where
pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. To grasp sex in all its complexity - its deep
ambivalences its relationship to gender class race and power - we need to move beyond 'yes
and no' wanted and unwanted. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon. Searching
trenchant and extraordinarily original The Right to Sex is a landmark examination of the
politics and ethics of sex in this world animated by the hope of a different one.
