In 1976, the great philosopher Michel Foucault made a promise: the sex of the future will finally be better sex. But his wish has never been so far from coming true. Because the dynamics of repression and power that make sex unsatisfying are still there. And the work of liberation has never been completed: new chains are added every day. Those trapped, once again, are women, invited to proclaim their desire unequivocally in the name of today's concept of consent. Why, Katherine Angel asks, must the responsibility fall on them? Why do we expect desire to be something easy to understand? Why is there no room for complexity, vulnerability, collaboration, mystery? This book is an unprecedented investigation into the idea of consent and its limits. On pleasure, autonomy, and imagination. A challenge to everyone to question the dogmas - even the apparently sensible ones - that we impose on ourselves. With the aim of finally fulfilling a promise made a long time ago.
