Re-enchanting... sex

Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall speak with Louise Perry about the (supposed) disenchantment of sex and what that’s meant for the well-being of women.

Was the sexual revolution the feminist triumph that we’ve assumed it was? Is there anything wrong with eradicating the unique status of sex?  

‘The problem with sexual disenchantment is that people don’t actually behave like disenchantment is true; because people don’t actually feel the sexual disenchantment is true.. we have a deep intuitive feeling that actually sex is special, for some reason…’

Louise Perry is a journalist, campaigner, advocate for women’s rights, and the author of 'The Case Against the Sexual Revolution'. She argues that sex has become disenchanted in the modern West's libertarian, pornified, hook-up culture. Although the book was not written from a Christian perspective, Louise tells Belle Tindall and Justin Brierley why she has come to some surprising conclusions about marriage, sex and relationships.
