Philosophy has a history of broadening wisdom to include more worldly affairs. Continuing this tradition, College Sex - Philosophy for Everyone investigates a broad array of philosophical and moral issues relating to the sexual practices of students.

Written with insight and humor, College Sex - Philosophy for Everyone investigates a broad array of philosophical issues relating to student sex.

Examines the ethical issues of dating, cheating, courtship, homosexual experimentation, and drug and alcohol use
Considers student-teacher relationships, sexual experimentation, the meaning of sex in a college setting and includes two essays based on influential research projects on ‘friends with benefits’
Many of the authors teach classes that explore the philosophy of love and sex, and most are scholars from the Society of the Philosophy of Sex and Love
