If you’d have told our great grandparents that one day we’d be exposing our genitals to strangers through a computer screen, they’d probably scream bloody murder. But this is sexual expression – and a career – in 2021.
In fact, technology plays a huge – even pivotal – role in our modern sexualities; whether we’re taking photos of our naked selves on our smartphones, making amateur sex tapes for status-boosting fun, using apps to arrange casual sex, or simply watching porn on our laptops. How would we interact sexually if it all disappeared tomorrow?
Technology aids teenage curiosity, evolves sex work, and refreshes our outlook and attitudes towards sex itself. Although bulky desktop PCs and sleazy chat rooms feel like light-years away, it’s always been this way.
But there are darker sides to cyber exhibitionism. We can easily become addicted to technology and obsessed with how it makes us feel; frequently abusing it and replacing real connections. How do we get the balance right? Or are we too far down the rabbit hole already?
It's quite sad, actually. 😏 The online dating, or well, hooking up (which is all toxic AF), showing yourself and living online... Lots of people get lost in the virtual world. It'll become an even bigger problem worldwide. 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond sad 😔
DeleteYes, too far down the rabbit hole. And with things like Covid soon becoming more common, people are simply not going to be eager to hang out at bars. The bright spot... people still need a place to actually do the deed... which is why bathhouses are going to make a huge comeback. But we are never going to return to the days of yore. Pick-up bars are going to be relegated to old movies the way classic night clubs are. We have a whole generation that knows nothing but texting, instagram, etc. Everything must change... I guess.
ReplyDeleteYep change is the one constant in this world
DeleteI don't like having sex through technology! at most I watch some porn videos. The technology I really only need for romeo and grindr, to find men for sex.
ReplyDeleteSeems safe to me
