Ezra Klein The Ezra Klein Show · Feb 2023 Why people recommend it
The Right to Sex by Amia Srinivasan is a collection of essays examining the intersections of philosophy, feminism, politics, and contemporary sexual ethics in the wake of the sexual revolution. Jordan Peterson referenced the book on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast in August 2023 to highlight extreme academic arguments concerning state-provided sexual access, specifically discussing theoretical propositions addressing how marginalized, disabled, elderly, or impoverished men might find romantic or physical fulfillment. Similarly, Ezra Klein brought up Srinivasan's work on The Ezra Klein Show in February 2023 during a conversation with Dan Savage about polyamory and modern relationships. Klein noted that Srinivasan's book was part of a broader, recent surge of literature questioning the psychological and social outcomes of modern sexual liberation, alongside works by authors like Maggie Nelson and Erica Bakayaki. Both podcast hosts utilized the publication to anchor deeper explorations into the shifting norms of human intimacy, consent, and societal responsibility. These discussions reflect the book's provocative role in contemporary intellectual debates, challenging readers to reexamine deeply ingrained assumptions about desire, justice, and the political dimensions of human relationships in a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
