From the moment there was an "online," there was sex online. The
famous test image used by software engineers to develop formats
like the jpeg was "Lena," taken from Playboy's November 1972
centerfold. Early bulletin boards and multi-user domains quickly
came to serve their members sexual musings. Facebook started as a
way to rate "hot or not" Harvard co-eds. In fact, virtually every
significant development that defines the Internet we know and love
(and hate) today - privacy issues, online payments and online
banking, dating, social media, streaming technology, mass data
collection - came out the meeting of sexuality and technology. And
the kicker is, not only did sexuality vastly influence the
Internet, but the Internet arguably changed modern human sexuality
by giving every imaginable non-hetereonormative community a place
to explore, fantasize, thrive, and be accepted. A lively, highly
visual history, filled with broad themes and backstories,
pioneering personalities and eureka-moments, How the Internet
Changed Sex... is a short, serious, and highly entertaining look at
the intertwining convergence of sex and the Internet. Written by
Samantha Cole, who's been on this beat as a senior writer for Vice,
How The Internet Changed Sex ... covers everything from Jennicam
(remember her?) to the problem of "deep fakes," from "A Brief
History of Online Dating" to how the government has been trying to
reckon with NSFW content, cybersex to what the promise of VR spaces
like the Metaverse hold for the future of human sexual
interactions. Porn is just one part of the story. Rather, this is a
story about human nature during the digital gold rush of the last
fifty years.
