Except that I wasn't very convinced she was being honest when the last sentence, by her husband, stated, "Unhooked is not really about having less sex. It's about having more love - as annoying, foolish, and impractical as love can be."

I don't really see how that solves anything. Although, from a secular point of view, I suppose not acting like a bunch of rabbits helps society a little.

Some of the girls in the book did "care or love" the person they were being intimate with and the sex partner didn't love them back. So, really, outside of a marriage commitment, her advice is still going to bring a world of hurt.

I think it shows an interesting backfiring of the feminist agenda.

As long as their agenda, for the Left, is focused on abortion, it shows they are not trying to change anything, internally. All of the Liberal media champions this issue with every ounce of breath they can breathe.

Yeah, that's probably true, but from a conservative standpoint, I found it a fascinating read of what the feminist agenda and the porn industry have done to a generation of youth.

It's sad, that's for sure. Remember recently, Belle Knox, who attends Duke University, very proud of her porn career? I remember when UT students were expelled for dancing in strip clubs. Not anymore.

I got a lot out of reading the book simply because she is singing our song from a feminist perspective. When a feminist says basically "There is a problem and, well, feminism is a big part of that" that's pretty good! I think she can be a help to young women who are way out there having sex and hooking up like wild. They need a moderate feminist voice, because they are not likely to listen to yours or mine. However, I think this is a book for parents to read to understand the whole of the problem. I gained from reading it and will be keeping a copy of it.

She was basically saying that these kids have misunderstood the purpose of the feminist movement and agenda, but I don't buy it. I don't think you can be moderate while saying, "It's not about having less sex...." JMO.

It is still the age old fight against a conservative view and a liberal - abstinence and prevention. Whichever camp you are in, that is going to be your view and the subject you will focus on when writing a book.

Right, I did state that you said that in your first post - "The interesting thing, as you mentioned with this author, is that they are talking about these effects in a secular way, not necessarily mentioning a religious belief, but just observation."
