<p><i>Sexual Ethics: An Anthology</i> is a carefully selected set of readings on applied issues of sexual morality, offering a balanced and non-sectarian discussion of many of today’s most important and controversial moral questions. Addressing a broad range of conceptual, ethical, legal, and public policy issues about sex, this user-friendly textbook presents multiple sides of disputes over sexual harassment, rape law, sexual discrimination, definitions of sex and sexual orientation, marriage and adultery, medical interventions in sex, the commercialization of sex, and psychiatric classifications of sexual disorders, all organized in a clear, systematic, easy-to-follow framework. <p>Specific issues dealt with in the book include age of consent, male rape, gay marriage, polygamy, online affairs, faux-bisexuality, asexuality, transgender sports inclusion, race and sex, sadomasochism, intersex surgery, pornography, paraphilias, robot sex, virginity definitions, bromances, college campus activism, conversion therapy, mandatory Title IX reporting, shariah sex laws, cancel culture, and others. <p><i>Sexual Ethics: An Anthology</i> is designed to provide teachers with a ready-made course, including these very useful features not typically found in anthologies: <ul><li> A clear summary of each reading at its beginning (so instructors can plan a course without needing to pre-read every chapter)</li> <li> 45 case studies drawn from the headlines contextualizing specific sexual ethics issues (often in a college environment) perfect for debates, research papers, and discussions</li> <li>15 “discussion starter” questions to help students begin talking about sensitive subjects</li> <li> A division of the readings into 7 major areas, each of which has a concise introduction to concepts and each of which is divided further into specific framing questions</li> <li>Most topics are represented with both “pro” and “con” arguments</li> <li>An introduction covering the concepts of sex, sexuality, and sexual ethics</li> <li> Readings include philosophical arguments, psychological position papers, government regulations, and court rulings</li></ul> <p><i>Sexual Ethics: An Anthology</i> is an ideal textbook for courses in applied ethics and contemporary moral issues as well as an excellent supplement for courses in gender studies, sexuality studies, marriage and family law, sociology, social work, and public policy.
