Love. Sexuality. Sex. Gender. Historically, Western culture has demarcated these ideas to fit within specific frameworks—pure love resists sexual desire; proper sexuality fits only within a firm heterosexual binary; and sex, if indulged in, should abide by very rigid institutionalized rules. But our understanding of love, sex, and sexuality is transforming right before our eyes. As our perceptions of sexuality and the psychology of sexual desire shifts, so too do our perceptions of what constitutes loving. Joe Boone has explored how a literature of love shifted with the changing perceptions of sexuality wrought by men like Freud and Foucault. Boone will challenge us to discern the links and lines between loving, sexuality, and sex, as we ask how we can define ourselves as lovers in all senses of the word now and into the future.
