What's Next in Love and Sex by Elaine Hatfield

What's Next in Love and Sex is a comprehensive examination of contemporary academic findings relating to all matters of the mind, body, and heart. Inspired by questions asked by students, the book covers cutting-edge topics so new that they are rarely addressed in current sexuality texts, providing insight into modern trends such as hookup culture, virtual pornography, robots, apps, and online dating as they evolve in this day and age. Written by one of the pioneers of love and sex research, Elaine Hatfield, along with historian Richard Rapson and social psychologist Jeannette Purvis, this book uses contemporary scientific findings to provide an updated and relevant explanation for why we do the things we do when we're in love, searching for love, making love, or trying to keep a faltering relationship together. Combining rigorous scholarship with an accessible and entertaining style, no other book will give college students and academics alike such a developed understanding of contemporary love and sex.

"Elaine Hatfield and Richard Rapson have produced another tour de force on loveHatfeld, together with Ellen Berscheid, essentially invented the field of the psychology of love. Now, years later, she, Rapson, and Purvis have reinvented the field for contemporary times. This is a book that anyone interested in love-which means, essentially, everyone-will want to read!" * Robert J. Sternberg, Professor of Human Development, Cornell University *
