Sex. It is a thing we have and a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a presonal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. To grasp sex in all its complexity -- its deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power -- we need to move beyond 'yes and now', wanted and unwanted. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon.
