The Russell Moore ShowChristine Emba on the Fantasy of Porn’s HarmlessnessEven where nobody talks about it, porn is everywhere--so much so that many, even those who think it's immoral, have concluded that it's an inextricable part of 21st century digital culture. But what if that attitude is leading us to levels of brokenness we never even imagined?
In this episode, Christine Emba joins Russell to talk about what she calls a “quiet catastrophe”: the normalization of pornography in an era marked by loneliness and disconnection.
Drawing from her widely read New York Times essay, “The Delusion of Porn’s Harmlessness,” Emba offers a pointed and profound l...

The SoloistsHookup Culture vs. Purity Culture, With Christine EmbaToday we’re sharing a conversation with Christine Emba, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of Rethinking Sex: A Provocation. Her book takes a hard look at the messiness of modern sexual culture—especially the way we’ve come to rely on this “hands off” ethic that says as long as something’s consensual, it’s fine. But what happens when consent isn’t enough for people to get the types of relationships they’re looking for?Mallory and Diana, meanwhile, can speak to the ups and downs of belonging to a religious culture that takes...

Church Life TodayRethinking Sex, with Christine EmbaFor years now, modern-day sexual ethics has held that “anything goes” when it comes to sex—as long as everyone says yes, and does so enthusiastically. So why, even when consent has been ascertained, are so many sexual experiences filled with frustration and disappointment, even shame? The truth is that the rules that make up today’s consent-only sexual code may actually be the cause of the sexual malaise—not the solution. In Rethinking Sex, reporter Christine Emba shows how consent is a good ethical floor but a terrible ceiling. She spells out the cultural, historical...

Deesha talks about a “de-centering of romance” and recognition that women have come to see that their lives are full and beautiful without being partnered with a man who does not listen to or respect them. They are interested in the deconstruction of the notions of masculinity, of repair and accountability, and of the homosociality/eroticism of the manosphere, as well as the pulling away of intimacy between cishet men.

For this topic, we look at David Fincher's 1999 cult classic Fight Club, where Brad Pitt plays the ubermench of Edward Norton's dreams, as well as probably many of the young male...

Princeton Alumni Weekly PodcastsPAWcast: Christine Emba ’10 on Changing Our Culture’s Sexual ScriptWashington Post columnist Christine Emba ’10 has been watching the approach that young, single people are taking to sex these days, and it isn’t pretty. What’s more, often it’s bad. It’s bad sex, full of unwanted, unsatisfying encounters, influenced more by porn than pleasure, that women and men are nevertheless consenting to. Why? In her new book, titled ‘Rethinking Sex: A Provocation,’ Emba explains how our sexual culture arrived at this moment and suggests a way forward, a way to bring connection, empathy, and — dare I say love? — back into intimacy, a way to, perhaps, fulfill all of those promises...

The Fountains of Carrots PodcastFoC 183: Rethinking the Ethics of Modern Sex with Christine Emba
The sexual revolution was supposed to usher in a whole new world of freedom for women. Now, decades later, did it offer us what it promised? Christine Emba is examining just that question. Are women happy with the current dating landscape? Are they having lots of fantastic casual sex? According to Christine’s new book, Rethinking Sex, it seems the answer is no. Young women are not thrilled with the dating landscape. They are frustrated and discouraged.
Christine went to Princeton and studied public and international affairs. She’s also a Catholic convert. Over time she discovered that...

God, Sex, and SangriaEp. 41: Response to "Rethinking Sex"by Christine Emba and "Vagina" by Naomi WolfThis week Rachel and Lurie discuss a couple of books they've been reading. Christine Emba's new book, "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation" calls us to consider what more than consent needs to be present for sex to be good. As she comes from an Evangelical background and converted to Catholicism in college, her work is dripping with theological claims, despite the book being for a popular audience.
"Vagina" by Naomi Wolf is a classic (despite being published within the last decade) and has some brilliance as well as some points that we'd like her to expand on.

The Long GameChristine Emba talks about her book "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation"Christine Emba's book, "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation," is written for younger generations whose experience of sex, she argues, has been disappointing. She revisits basic questions of what sex is for, and argues that casual sex has been a bad deal for younger people because it has been devalued and minimized. Chrisrine comes from a conservative background where sex was, she says, overvalued. She's trying to find a middle ground. Christine told me she wrote the book to explore "what was ailing our sexual culture, that these malaise-filled encounters had become so common. What assumptions were we...

The Tikvah PodcastChristine Emba on Rethinking SexFor most young men and women today, sexual ethics have been collapsed into one idea: consent. Consent, whereby two responsible, conscientious, free people agree to enter into a sexual relationship, has become a shorthand way to describe ethical sex. And of course consent in sex is important, especially since it was so often absent in human history. But is consent, and consent alone, sufficient for modern sexual ethics? That's the question the Washington Post writer Christine Emba, this week's podcast guest, takes up in her fascinating new book Rethinking Sex. In the book, she takes readers on...

It's taken work (and some therapy!) to untangle many of the deeply toxic lessons of purity culture from our views on sex.
