The Ethics of Hooking Up: Casual Sex and Moral Philosophy on Campus
provides a systematic moral analysis of hooking up, or sexual
activity between people who barely know each other, frequently
while intoxicated, and with little or no verbal interaction. 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. Key Features Provides a rare,
systematic examination of the ethics of the hook up practice, which
is the dominant mating practice for young people today. 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. Argues
for a moral paradigm shift in how young people hook up, emphasizing
ways to avoid unintentionally committing grave moral wrongs.
Situates the philosophy of casual sex in real life hook up
practice, enabling us to rethink overly abstracted moral views on
casual sex.
