Abstract

While cybersex has received some attention in the last decade, it is usually framed in negative terms a simple search for cybersex will typically offer additional search terms such as ‘addiction’ or ‘problematic’. Increasingly, however, people are engaging positively with technology to support and enhance existing relationships, as well as for individual, autoerotic pleasure. This chapter explores the emerging literature in this area and identifies how people engage with technology, how this contributes to maintaining relationships, and how such technologies have added to the multisensory nature of modern sex.
