Title: Social Structures, Ideology, and Bad Sex

Abstract: This paper is concerned with providing an explanatory framework for thinking about a particular type of ethically bad sex. I argue that much of the current literature on bad sex, which takes consent to be the lens through which bad sex should be viewed, is unable to adequately capture an interesting set of cases of bad sex. I argue that we should make sense of what has gone wrong in these cases in terms of unjust social structures creating the conditions for bad events.
