Philosopher Quill R. Kukla reimagines fulfilling sex through an exploration of sexual agency, communication and pleasure
Today’s conversations about sex often focus on consent—who has given it, when one has it and how to get it. However, good, fulfilling sex requires more than securing a “yes” from a partner. It requires a variety of kinds of communication, as well as social circumstances that support sexual agency and pleasure. In Sex Beyond “Yes”, Quill R. Kukla explores what sexual agency is and how it can be enabled or hindered. Kukla reimagines pleasurable, ethical sex beyond the constraints of commodification, patriarchal and heterocentric social scripts, ableism, and puritanical and stigmatising attitudes toward sex.
This book addresses the complexities of desire and the importance of creating an environment that prioritises respect, communication and joy. Centring pleasure and agency, it encourages conversations and social changes that can make good sex accessible to all.
