Reviews

"Overall then, College Sex is a valuable collection. Most readerswill want to skip and dip around the essays, looking for those thatare most helpful to them. Many of the essays are not traditionalphilosophical approaches, but the use of communications andpsychology scholarship in the book fits well with the philosophicaldiscussion. Furthermore, the level of the writing is pitched wellfor lower level undergraduate courses in the philosophy of sexlove: I plan to use some of the chapters here for my futurecourses." (Metapsychology, 31 May 2011) "You actually get something from it. Rather than a textbook in aclass that you read and forget almost instantaneously, College Sexforces you to see sex from a more objective perspective - you'llsoon be asking questions regarding your own sex life and how goodand healthy it actually is." (Her Campus, September2010) "The sex and philosophy combo might seem like a peculiar mix,but as you flip and through the book's sections (freshman year,sophomore year, junior year and senior year), it's plausible to seehow Socrates, Nietzsche, Aristotle and sex are closely connectedwith one another." (Campus Circle, 25 August 2010)
