“Philosophy” and “sex” are two words that may seem an uncomfortable pair. Philosophy is lofty, abstract, contemplative, concerned with drawing clear distinctions, and often done in the isolation of one’s study; at least, common caricatures paint it as such. Sex is tangible, embodied, desire-driven, resistant to categorization, and often best when done with others; at least, many think so. What on earth could philosophy—that supposedly dry and disengaged subject—have to tell us about sex and sexuality? More subversively, perhaps, how can thinking about sex and sexuality, in all their messy, charged reality, challenge our conceptions and practices surrounding what it is to do philosophy?
