Sex and the Internet - Dr Victoria Baines

The relationship between intimacy and technology is dynamic and transformative. Adult entertainment providers were early adopters of the Internet and directly influenced its development. Meanwhile, digital communication has changed our consumption of pornography, how we date, and how we seek pleasure.
There is increasing concern that Internet-mediated sex is having a negative impact on humans. What’s the evidence for that? And what does the future hold?

Johanna Burke’s fantastic and ‘boundary breaking’ lecture on zoophilia , love in post-human age is still available on the Gresham College website but not on RUclips? Why is this gem being hidden … ashamed are we?
Rotten content on the rise over the past few years and now we’re being asked to contribute?

If it's being hidden it's probably something to do with RUclips rather than Gresham.
