Notes

'A charming, insightful, and fearless guide to the new frontiers of sexuality.'
Steven Pinker, Harvard University and author of How the Mind Works

'Roanne van Voorst is one of the Dutch writers I admire most. She's radical and nuanced, idealistic and open-minded. Whatever she writes about, each time she broadens your horizons and opens your world.'
Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind: A Hopeful History

'As an anthropologist, Roanne van Voorst has the ideal method for gaining insight into something as corporeal as the future of intimacy: she immerses herself in the worlds she wants to understand ... Searching for practices that liberate love requires an open mind, which is precisely what she possesses. Empty moralising has no chance with her.'
Marjan Slob, De Volkskrant
