A funny, fresh, and moving antidote to conventional attitudes about gender and the solitary girl. Emily Witt is solitary and in her 30s. Until a couple of years previously, she still envisioned her erotic experience "eventually getting a terminus, just like a monorail gliding to an end at Epcot Center". Like many people, she thought herself disembarking, finding herself face-to-face with another human being, "and there we would stay in our permanent place in life: the near future". But, as we all know, things are more complicated than that. Love is unusual and sometimes unreciprocated. Intimate acquisitiveness is high-risk and can be hurtful. And generalizing about what women want or don't want or should want or should do appears to lead nowhere. Don't our temperaments, our hang-ups, and our histories determine our lives approximately our gender? In Future Sex, Witt explores Internet seeing, Internet pornography, polyamory, and other avant-garde erotic subcultures as sites of likelihood. She observes her encounters with these scenes with a wry love of life, capturing them in every their strangeness, ridiculousness, and beauty. The result can be an open-minded, honest bank account of the contemporary pursuit of connection and pleasure and an uplifting new model of feminine sexuality - available, forgiving, and unafraid.
