In a world where  anything is possible, a potential date - whether it be a one-night  stand or the start of a more lasting relationship - can be just a click  away. Anyone looking for love online can throw off their inhibitions and  can say what they have never dared to before. \u003cp\u003eThe internet revolution has ensured that online dating has now become  both widespread and commonplace. Online users can buy into the  consumerist illusion that they can choose a man or woman in the same way  that they would shop for groceries - this is the new hypermarket of  desire. Women in particular can enjoy a new sexual assertiveness. Where  once they might have looked for an emotional attachment, they are now  demanding simply the right to have a good time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, love cannot be reduced to such simple terms. The apparently  risk-free world of online dating is at odds with love in real life,  which has its own demands and expectations. You cannot introduce another  person into your life and expect everything to remain the same. Human  beings have a way of turning your life upside down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this compelling book, Jean-Claude Kaufmann navigates this new  emotional world and explores the tensions between sex and love, instant  gratification and enduring commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Claude Kaufmann\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at University of Paris V Sorbonne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 March 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745651835\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44314168000652,"sku":"9780745651835","price":53.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745651835_b44e429f-73ca-49ab-8249-73d5b24a0202.jpg?v=1780195457","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780745651835","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
