Surprisingly, although we believe we live in an era of sexual permissiveness, there are far fewer texts on the “transformations of sociality and sexuality in relation to digital technology,” i.e., on “the ways in which devices and platforms influence and produce normative systems capable of changing the way we perceive, desire, and relate to others”.
