Description
A funny, fresh, and moving antidote to conventional attitudes about sex and the single woman.
Emily Witt is single and in her 30s. Up until a few years ago, she still envisioned her sexual experience "eventually reaching a terminus, like a monorail gliding to a stop at Epcot Center". Like many people, she imagined herself disembarking, finding herself face-to-face with another human being, "and there we would remain in our permanent station in life: the future".
But, as we all know, things are more complicated than that. Love is rare and frequently unreciprocated. Sexual acquisitiveness is risky and can be hurtful. And generalizing about what women want or don't want or should want or should do seems to lead nowhere. Don't our temperaments, our hang-ups, and our histories define our lives as much as our gender?
In Future Sex, Witt explores Internet dating, Internet pornography, polyamory, and other avant-garde sexual subcultures as sites of possibility. She observes her encounters with these scenes with a wry sense of humor, capturing them in all their strangeness, ridiculousness, and beauty. The result is an open-minded, honest account of the contemporary pursuit of connection and pleasure and an inspiring new model of female sexuality - open, forgiving, and unafraid.

Wandering story and flat reading
There were some interesting stories and a curious exploration of sex, relationships, and purpose in life. It was fun to hear someone’s point of view and experience on these subjects that differed from my own. Particularly hearing the context from an American was interesting as a Canadian listener.
However, I found the author tended to use fancy words simply to make the content sound more sophisticated, not because it communicated a concept better. Sometimes the book also went on a tangent in describing a place, scenario, or person for which I did not understand the reason for the tangent.
I think I may have enjoyed this more as a paper book because the author was also the narrator and unfortunately her voice was generally quite flat in tone - some variation in emotional expression would have helped.
Lastly, I found the narrative to be generally that of a self-imposed misery over her life situation. Having explored some of the same things she has, I wonder why she did not embrace her exploration with more enthusiasm, considered they were all voluntary choices?
