about sex and the single woman
Emily Witt is single and in her thirties. Up until a few years
ago, she still envisioned her sexual experience “eventually
reaching a terminus, like a monorail gliding to a stop at Epcot
Center.” Like many people, she imagined herself disembarking,
finding herself face-to-face with another human being, “and there
we would remain in our permanent station in life: the future.”

But, as many of us have found, things are more complicated than
that. Love is rare and frequently unreciprocated. Sexual

monogamy―and why should it? Have we given up too quickly on the

Future Sex, Witt explores Internet dating, Internet
pornography, polyamory, and avant-garde sexual subcultures as
sites of possibility. She observes these scenes from within,
capturing them in all their strangeness, ridiculousness, and
beauty. The result is an open-minded, honest account of the
contemporary pursuit of connection and pleasure.
