Love between the Sexes delves deeper into Miller's uncompromising sexual and romantic philosophies, famously explored in his scandalous book The World of Sex (1940). Offering up his modern objections to the prevailing romantic protocols operating under the 'Puritanism of the Americans', he makes reference to subjects as varied as Hermann Hesse, Sophia Loren and the famous Medieval lovers Heloise and Abelard. Miller argues that romance and sexual freedoms are now artifical affectations lacking the crucial depth and realistic tragedy needed to form the foundation of a 'true love'.
