Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again: Women and Desire in the Age of Consent by Katherine Angel
4.0
A great way to talk about sex, especially desire, arousal, consent and the position of women in all these things in the patriarchal setting both currently and historically. Angel pulls at great pop culture references to aid their argument and the continuous references both to other scholars and studies provides a valid basis for the argument.
The issue raised that stuck with me the most was that sex is difficult to objectively study - you can’t remake the conditions of sex organically in a laboratory to examine - either there is a sense of voyeurism or sex isn’t as it would usually be due to being perceived. The significance of consent in this book is also prominent - the inclusion of how men’s violent nature in heteronormative relationships can incite verbal consent and the fear of rejection was so interesting too.
