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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut, as many of us have found, things are more complicated than that. Love is rare and frequently unreciprocated. Sexual experience doesn't necessarily lead to a future of traditional monogamy--and why should it? Have we given up too quickly on the alternatives? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFuture Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, Witt explores Internet dating, Internet pornography, polyamory, and avant-garde sexual subcultures as sites of possibility. She observes these scenes from within, 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Witt\u003c\/b\u003e has written for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003en+1\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e.
