This 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. Enjoy this conversati ..read more
