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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut, as many of us have found, things are more complicated than that. Love is rare and frequently unreciprocated. Sexual experience doesn't necessarily lead to a future of traditional monogamy--and why should it? Have we given up too quickly on the alternatives? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFuture Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Witt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374537275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374537272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Emily Witt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919611298047,"sku":"9780374537272","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9096b68-2cb8-4257-89a3-261fe0932216.jpg?v=1680810350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/future-sex-emily-witt-9780374537272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
