This collection examines recent theoretical and methodological debates, shifts in law and policy, and social and cultural changes around sexuality. It sets out new ways of conceptualizing and researching sexuality and explores persistently marginalised and re-traditionalised sexual practices, subjectivities and identities.

'In this exciting new collection of work, readers can learn about emergent sexual identities, waning norms, new modes of family, alternative forms of intimacy and a full range of transitivities that characterize our current organizations of eros, embodiment and desire. This is an exciting anthology: it brims with newness, it points to new directions and it departs decisively from the the known and the humdrum. Hines and Taylor have begun many new conversations by combining this methodologically rich and unusual work into one volume. Sexualities will be a resource for sexuality researchers for decades to come!' - Jack Halberstam, Professor of English and Director of the Center for Feminist Research, University of Southern California, USA and author of Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender and the End of Normal
