It explores the moral quandaries resulting from this potent combination of sex, alcohol, near-anonymity, and limited communication, focusing in particular on issues involving consent and respect. After delineating common practices involving casual sex on college campuses and exploring the difficulty of reaching mutual consent, author James Rocha argues that respect, kindness, sensitivity, and honest communication are also necessary conditions for morally permissible casual sex. </p><p>Key Features</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Provides a rare, systematic examination of the ethics of the hook up practice, which is the dominant mating practice for young people today.</li> <p> </p> <li>Analyzes the moral concepts of consent and respect in the context of hooking up, which provides significant moral challenges that highlight how we should obtain consent and show respect to one another.</li> <p> </p> <li>Argues for a moral paradigm shift in how young people hook up, emphasizing ways to avoid unintentionally committing grave moral wrongs.</li> <p> </p> <li>Situates the philosophy of casual sex in real life hook up practice, enabling us to rethink overly abstracted moral views on casual sex. </li> </ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"My overall impression is very positive.
