This book was definitely thought-provoking. The author’s perspective on consent culture was interesting, I can see what her arguments were, but I don’t think it was a very strong position. She writes beautifully and it’s easy to read through each of her 4 essays, but sometimes it felt like the argumentation wasn’t very clear. I think I was expecting something different, the first 3 essays were really good and compelling and then the author lost me on the 4th one. Maybe it’s because I think that there’s no disconnect between consent culture and having ongoing conversations in sex that leave room for exploration. I think the way people are trying to do consent culture is by having ongoing conversations and making sure that both partners are exploring the limits of what they like and being okay with it.
Anyways, still a good read and an important one. I did recommend it to everyone I know.

While acknowledging the importance of the debate about consent, Katherine Angel opens up a possibility for understanding desire not only as a binary matter of ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but also as a ‘maybe’ that can exist in a space that allows for vulnerability. She questions social expectations for (female) desire and how desire is influenced by patriarchic power dynamics. In advocating for a clear distinction between arousal, desire, and consent, Angel invites the reader to reflect on their understanding and definition of sexual desire.
“Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again” is incredibly well researched and provides a thorough overview of the study of sexual desire. While Angel is making an effort to be as gender inclusive as one can be when writing about the very binary topic of female desire, I had hoped that she would not only compare male and female desire, but also explore everything in between.

Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again was anticlimactic in a surprisingly positive way: the arguments presented to support the thesis were too compelling that they overshadowed a perfectly sensible conclusion. A notable strength was Angel's resistance to easy oppositions and dichotomies—both are elemental structures of Western society and thinking. Angel's embrace of uncertainty, especially with respect to a topic as contentious and controversial as sex, was refreshing. This was a solid 3.5 stars.
