Friendship and sex don't mix. This is how countless relationship guides claim it, romantic films and often also your own environment. Nevertheless, more and more people are looking for friends with benefits. Traditional family images and the ideal of one great love seem to be completely overloaded with expectations and demands. Ole Liebl looks at the development and practice of this unusual form of relationship. He addresses their emotional and ethical conflicts as well as their utopian potential: There really is no escape from the romantic norm and its possessiveness? Are our intimate relationships subject to mere market mechanisms? Which sexist narratives shape our ideas about friendship and where do they come from?? Is there a friendly eroticism? And in what ways do we allow ourselves, to love amicably?
Radical, critical and visionary Ole Liebl, how we can rethink friendship and find a more just coexistence: self-empowering, free of taboos and deeply familiar.
