Erotic Morality examines the role of the senses and emotions, especially touch, in moral reflection and agency. Linda Holler proposes that ethics consider touch as the center of moral life rather than disciplines designed to control the body and feeling.

Erotic Morality argues that reclaiming the sentient awareness necessary to our physical and moral well being demands healing the places where we have become numb or hypersensitive to touch.
Relying upon certain Christian ascetic and Buddhist mindfulness practices, the author presents alternatives to actions dictated by habitual and external conditioning that leave us desensitized and demoralized.
