Mia Levitin on sex in the time of Covid (and the problem with dating today)

Was 2020 the least sexy year ever? Quite possibly - thanks to casual sex bans and social distancing. But was it on track to be that way anyway? These are questions examined in Mia Levitin’s The Future of Seduction, which looks at the multifaceted ways in which phones and tech have changed romance, the effect of MeToo on flirting and courtship, and what the future holds for intimacy. I loved talking to Mia about this, as well as her path to publication, why she drew on her own experience of dating after divorce in the book, and much more. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
