Bringing Sex Into Focus: The Quest for Sexual Integrity

Caroline J. Simon, Hope College

Abstract

Bringing Sex into Focus identifies six "lenses" through which people understand sex and sexuality: covenantal, procreative, expressive, romantic, power and "plain sex." Guided by a virtue ethic, those lenses are applied to a variety of sexual issues. The book addresses issues related to marital sexuality, virginity and chastity, flirtation and seduction, homosexuality, casual sex, pornography and prostitution.
