About the Book

Sex in the Digital Age by Paul G. Nixon examines the profound effects of economic and technological advancements on human sexuality and behavior. As digital spaces, particularly the Internet, continue to evolve, new issues surrounding sexuality are emerging, and this book offers a timely exploration of these transformations.

The book delves into a variety of topics impacted by digital media, including pornography, sex education and health, LGBTQ sexualities, polysexuality or polyamory, abstention, sexual abuse and violence, erotic online literature, sex therapy, teledildonics, sex and gaming, online dating, celebrity porn, young people and sexual media, and sexting. These issues are critically affected by the proliferation of digital technologies and the internet.

With case studies drawn from the US, the UK, and Europe, Sex in the Digital Age engages in a comprehensive discussion on the changing acceptance of sex in the 21st century and the role digital media plays in shaping sexual discourses. The book also offers reflections on the future of sex and sexuality in an increasingly digital world. It will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, particularly those with interests in gender and sexuality, new technologies, media studies, and cultural studies.
