relating to student sex.
* Examines the ethical issues of dating, cheating, courtship,
homosexual experimentation, and drug and alcohol use
* Considers student-teacher relationships, sexual
experimentation, the meaning of sex in a college setting and
includes two essays based on influential research projects on
‘friends with benefits’
* Many of the authors teach classes that explore the philosophy
of love and sex, and most are scholars from the Society of the
Philosophy of Sex and Love
