Their perspectives range from the personal and political to the scientific and the subversive. What emerges is a fascinating exploration of the changing landscape of love, where Tinder trolls and high-school sweethearts jostle with sex shop senseis and radical autonomy.
Lena Dunham finds herself at a crossroads between her progressive politics and her ambivalence towards marriage. Zan Rowe, Maggie MK Hess and Van Badham go fishing in the online dating pool. Celeste Liddle examines the tug-of-war between individuality, relationship and community for Aboriginal women. And Roxanne Gay wades into grief, guilt and love in an arresting piece of short fiction.
Witty, challenging and thought-provoking, Better Than Sex presents an eye-opening perspective on the love lives of modern women.
