The Ethics of Sex: An Introduction systematically and comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding the concept of sex. It addresses important questions such as:
- How can we approach questions of sexual ethics in a philosophical way?
- Must we give affirmative consent to all sexual activity, and what would be the impact of implementing an affirmative consent standard into law?
- Can our dating preferences ever be considered a form of discrimination?
- Is BDSM sex compatible with feminism?
- Should we promote monogamy as the best way to live?
- Is it harmful to have a relationship with a robot?
- Should sex work be decriminalized?
- Is there a right to sex?
Including discussion questions and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter The Ethics of Sex is the perfect philosophical introduction to the perennially topical issue, and ideal reading for students taking courses within the fields of applied ethics, sociology, law, religion and politics.
