Abstract

Katie Anderson, Paula Reavey and Zoë Boden analyse interviews with couples in mixed-sex relationships, in which women (unlike men) are usually expected to perform emotional labour. The authors question the traditional approaches of drug studies by asking whether in some cases the joint use of MDMA (ecstasy) as a couple might actually enhance partners’ affective capacities. It may help to overcome affective inequalities that stem from discrepant expectations with regard to gendered emotional expressiveness.
