Summary
This chapter proposes an approach to research about young people and sexuality in which emotions are understood as methodological signals. They indicate a rupture in conventional methodology and can orient researchers toward possibility and opportunity. Pointing to young peoples' unequal position along an age-based axis of power, the authors argue for an orientation to sex education and research about young peoples' sexuality that attends to love, rather than one that gets stuck in fear and concern.
