Digisexuality: the intersection between Tech and Sexuality (Episode 15)

Technology. It has become a staple in our lives with ever increasing frequency. Each day brings new innovations, so is it any wonder that it has worked its way into how we sex?  Enter the field of research called digisexuality.

Actually, advanced technology has been a part of human sexuality for as long as there have been advancements in technology. Consider the vibrator, for example. It was one of the first household appliances to get the electricity treatment and as a result of another advancement in technology, vibrator ads were removed from popular magazines. It seems that each advancement in technology finds a way to change the way we humans seek and experience sexual pleasure.

During episode 15 of Stereo-Typed, we will be talking about the intersection of technology and sex.

Let’s talk digisexuality!

• What is digisexuality?
• How has the digital world impacted our sex lives?
• What are some of the possible sexual technology innovations on the horizon for technological human sexuality?
• As digital sex becomes more prevalent, are there advantages and potential pitfalls that people need to consider, for themselves and their relationships?

So, yes, we will be talking about hook-ups, virtual realities and Jude Law. Oh, wait, I mean, Artificial Intelligence and Sex Robots.

These are just some of the questions I will be examining with my guest, Dr Neil McArthur.

Join us live on January 25th at 7 pm eastern on Spreaker and join in the conversation on digisexuality.

I wrote my thoughts about what I learned during this conversation. Please read Nybbles and Bytes.
