The books main topic is around sexual politics, particularly in US/UK academic settings. It asks (and tries to answer) questions around consent/non-consent, legalisation of sex work and how current views of sex can have different outcomes depending on social background, ethnicity, gender identification or even job title.
The asks many thought-provoking questions such as (paraphrasing here) "even if you have consent from a potential sex partner, should you still go ahead" or "your attraction to certain peoples/things... Are they inherent or is it heavily influenced by external factors no how neutral you try to be? "
The book is really well-written and think Amia Srinavasan has laid down her argument in a really thoughtful and interesting manner and it's well worth a read even if you don't fully agree with its points.
