Sure, we’ve got plenty of casual sex, porn, and sexual freedom to go around, but none of that is sexy.

Instead of focusing on taboos, boundaries, and rules of sexual engagement, what if we were to let unconditional love seduce people back to erotic virtue? What if we stopped asking how close we can get to the ethical boundaries and started asking, who do we truly want to be and, more important, who do we want to be toward those we love?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book is, in part, the author’s attempt to convey erotic virtue to his son Augustine on the eve of the boy’s high school graduation. Augustine; the author’s wife, Stacie; and a few musicians, poets, and scholarly friends contribute brief reflections, inspiring rich dialogue across generations, between lovers, and within the culture of our perplexing times.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis isn’t just another book about religious mores or pop psychology.
