"Luke Brunning and Natasha McKeever have written a book on intimacy, love, and sex that feels contemporary and relevant to students' lives while also being deeply anchored in current scholarship and debates. Avoiding clichés and antiquated assumptions about what relationships and intimacy look like in today's world, the authors offer rich philosophical tools for the rigorous exploration of some of the most personal and difficult-to-discuss topics we encounter in daily life."Quill Rebecca Kukla, Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University, and author of Sex Beyond 'Yes': Pleasure and Agency for Everyone"Brunning and McKeever bring clear and insightful philosophical analysis to emerging topics such as asexuality and relationship anarchy, as well as to classic topics such as (morally) good sex and the nature of romantic love. Engaging, timely, and philosophically rich!"Elizabeth Brake, Professor of Philosophy at University of Wisconsin-Madison"A really helpful book! Brunning and McKeever cover a lot of ground, with a keen eye for how these crucial conversations have been changing in recent years. Their writing is clear and accessible. This will be a great resource for anyone looking to get up to speed in this area of philosophy."Carrie Jenkins, Professor of Philosophy at University of British Columbia, and author of Sad Love: Romance and the Search for Meaning
