Sex and Social Media

Written by Katrin Tiidenberg and Emily van der Nagel

Narrated by Kelly Burke

Sex is not only on social media, but social media shapes how we do and think about sex. What practices, norms, anxieties and identities arise when the two intersect?

Based on years of research on various sexual social media practices on different platforms Sex and Social Media offers a curious reader an academically informed yet accessible discussion of the nuances of sexual social media and socially mediated sex. The book opens up a much-needed discussion around how social media – as both technology and a corporate service - shapes how we perceive and practice sex today.

Reviews for Sex and Social Media

[Nderitu Pius · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

First off this is an engaging book. You will find out the minds of people here and why social media and sex in this day and age seem inseparable.
I find this book however written from a secularist point of view. Rather than giving man a perspective of what social media can do to halt perversion, this book rather allows for "safe spaces" for sexual perversion. Case in point, would you want pedophiles to congregate in a singular place and express their twisted fantasies and not want social media companies to shut that down?
Consider. I am compelled to write a response paper on this book on this touchy subject. I might begin as soon as now if I could. ????
