Hi Hyderabadiz,
Thanks for the review.

I can suggest 2 books equally good:

Philosophy and Sex, 3rd Edition, edited by Robert B. Baker, Kathleen J. Wininger & Frederick A. Elliston (Prometheus Books)

Philosophical Perspectives on Sex and Love, edited by Robert M. Stewart (Oxford Uni. Press)

They're a collection of essays from experts in the field, intergrating various concepts of feminism, morality, philosophy and much more. As far as a single book by one author, I have yet to locate something as provocative but if you find one, let me know!

With respect to "duty", I don't have a definite opinion as I'm not sure exactly what you mean in relation to rights and responsibilities as they relay to sex and love. If from a religious standpoint, that presents a different equation than from a huminisitic one, I think. I disagree with various religious factors of duty.

Further, I'd group duty more with love rather than its own "side". There is a duty to oneself to understand love and how it relates to all facets, specifically, the duty to love thy self and others, how that plays an integral role in society and the way we form concepts of love and sex, thus evolve our lives for the better.

Interesting question. I'll ponder it further. Feel free to write me personally (address on blog in "about" page) and perhaps you can shed more light on what you mean. We can discuss it.

Glad however you found me. I'm interested to browse through the sites that make up the Hyderabadis Team.

Best wishes,
Tatiana von Tauber

Interesting blog and creative description.
Wonder if there is any one single book, which you may identify for me that integrates the philosophy of love and sex. I know, as a librarian there are tons on each of these themes, but converging or integrating the twain may make a difference for the humanity, if not, at least for me.
FYI. Some go one step further and suggest love, sex and duty (duty as in rights and responsibilities) are the three sides of the same coin. What would you say.
Best wishes.
