In this lively interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of practitioners on the spot - from scholars to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future. 

Has the sexual revolution, which promised lots of fun, no-strings sex, actually made us unfulfilled, miserable even? And all that swiping left or right on our phones, has it left us detached, disillusioned, dissatisfied? Writer Christine Emba believes so. She joins Matthew to make a case for rethinking our attitudes towards sex and sexual ethics. 

Christine Emba is a columnist for The Washington Post writing about ideas and society. Her previous posts include the Hilton Kramer Fellow in Criticism at the New Criterion and as a deputy editor at the Economist Intelligence Unit. Her latest book is Rethinking Sex: A Provocation. 

A Tempo & Talker production for the RSA. 

In this time of global change, strong communities and initiatives that bring people together are more invaluable than ever before. The RSA Fellowship is a global network of problem solvers. We invite you to join our community today to stay connected, inspired and motivated in the months ahead.
