Sexual activity has attracted a bewildering range of preoccupations. These shifting concerns raise questions about what ¿sex¿ means, how it becomes ethically problematic, and how it might still matter to our lives. We will pursue these questions through current debates around sexual identity, monogamy, polyamory, sexual violence, sex work, pornography, and erotic desires across the stages of a human life. You will be encouraged to use the course material to clarify and refine your own ethical reasoning about sex. Effective Spring 2025, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU HUB areas: Critical Thinking, Ethical Reasoning, Philosophical Inquiry and Life's Meanings.
