| Abstract: | Rethinking Sex: A Provocation: Christine Emba. Where readers might diverge from I Rethinking Sex i is in Emba's assertion that certain sexual behaviors or relationship models are intrinsically less-than: less healthy, less consensual, less empowering, and less socially tolerable. One of the most ironic features of I Rethinking Sex i is how often Emba cites seminal Second Wave Feminist thinkers to bolster her claims, while completely overlooking the fact that they would be excluded from the very model of "good sex" she proposes.
