How technological changes have transformed sexuality

The frequent use of the Internet and the possession of mobile phones, together with the combination of both with smartphones, is occurring at an unexpected speed.

In this way, people can communicate and distribute information immediately. Causing the intercommunication of people and a new model of social relationships.

In addition to this, it is essential to consider the consequences that long-term technological progress can generate. Taking into account that it is becoming faster and more unpredictable, as well as permeating different areas of life, including sexuality.

The following are recent changes in our way of relating and living, based on the relationship between new technologies and sexuality.

 

1. Internet

Currently, the primary source of information of all kinds is the Internet, short for Interconnected Networks, which means “interconnected networks.” Refers to the union of all networks and computers distributed throughout the world.

It is common for young people and adults to use this medium to obtain information about doubts or concerns they have regarding sexuality.

However, in doing so, they can find different types of data, which can be reliable sources that contain corresponding data or places where the information is not accurate and causes more confusion in browsers.

 

2. Content for adults on the Web

Cheaters are having free access to content, can be seen by people of all ages, and thus, affect their sexual identity, self-image, and their interpersonal relationships.

According to Cheating-Detector.org surveys, 30% of children between the ages of 9 and 14 have already seen pornographic content, generating ideas challenging to achieve in real life.

Such as unrealistic sexual encounters and exaggerated expectations of the couple, also creating a preconceived idea of how they should act.

It is clear that the internet has influenced the sexuality of the new generations, some people can distinguish between fiction and reality. Using it as a source of eroticism without suffering any harm, however, it does not happen in this way in all cases.

 

3. Grooming

Another of the technological practices that have had a substantial impact on sexuality, mainly in minors, is Grooming. Defined as the approach to children and young people to gain their trust. Create emotional bonds and be able to abuse them sexually.

Often, the groomer (the person who seeks to harm the child) uses technological means such as social networks to initiate the bond.

Offering understanding and advice while they get information or images of the child in sexual or pornographic situations.

Obtaining these images is essential to control and frighten the child, having as a goal in the future. To establish physical, sexual contact with the child or introduce it into environments of sexual exploitation and prostitution.

 

 

4. Sexting

Now, technology to enable new and diverse social practices, coupled with the search for people to manifest their sexual desire, leads to sexting.

Refers to the act of sending texts, photographs, and videos with the content of a particular sexual level. Taken or recorded by the protagonist of the same, by mobile phone.

Alluding to the phrase “Be silent when you have nothing to say, when genuine passion moves you, say what you have to say, and say it hot.”

 

Sexting can be useful in adult sexual life since it expresses a game of seduction between two individuals.

Who when sending and receiving images, texts or erotic videos stimulate their imagination by increasing sexual desire.

This practice can be considered by some people as a sexual relationship transferred to the screen of the mobile device.

On the other hand, according to research. Sexting is becoming a regular part of courtship.

However, there are different risks in carrying out this practice, since the material with sexual themes can end up in unwanted hands. Be spread very quickly and widely so that the initial sender loses all control over the dissemination of contents.

 

 

Affective bonding through mobile applications

Regarding how to start extramarital affairs, technology has a substantial impact through different mobile apps. Through which the romantic love of past centuries has been there, in the past.

Currently, a large number of people are known virtually, love, at first sight. It comes from a photo; you have the first conversation in a chat on social networks and links through a screen.

 

An example of such mobile applications is Tinder, geosocial application (specifies the geographical distance between an individual and another). Using which, according to compatibilities about personality, interests, age, and friends in common.

Men and women appear in photos that are observed by users and based on it approve or disapprove the other. Once two people accept the application puts them in contact so they can talk and make appointments.

 

Tinder and other similar platforms seek to fill the void produced by the solitude of a society connected in digital networks, but not in human networks. In a society that has worn away the community and superimposed the individuality and distance from others.

 

Haptic technology

 

In addition to mobile applications, there are also devices based on haptic technology (touch). That is one that allows physical contact between human-machine or human being with another human being in which a device mediates. The relationship with the purpose produces real sensations while two people are at a distance.

An example of devices based on haptic technology is Lovepalz, designed to maintain technologically mediated sex. This instrument consists of two devices, for the man takes the name of Zeus and for the woman, Hera.

Both are designed according to the physiology of each sex. Zeus, in the manner of a phallic-shaped vibrator and Hera in the shape of a masturbator, imitating the vaginal cavity.

People can feel the sexual movement of their partners simulating intercourse by transmitting in real time. What it is that a person is doing at the muscular level with their sexual organs.

LovePalz control with an iPhone application that will be the one that connects via Wi-Fi what happens in one device and transmits it to the other. Finishing building a complete platform for virtual sex.

 

 

More technology does not imply better intimate relationships.

By way of conclusion, this type of applications and technological devices. Enable communication with others without needing to resort to face-to-face relationships.

 

Decreasing social skills and tools to generate a lasting affective bond. The fact that the number of means to maintain communication has increased does not mean that communication, contact, and interaction between people improve.

How people establish ties has changed over time. The way in which sexuality is lived as well as the stories and their contents has also changed. Generating conflicts as distrust in couples because of a “like” in social networks.

Perhaps as the subject of an endless discussion to hear the “I I leave in seen.

The estrangement in the couple because of the preference to satisfy their sexual needs only through digital media such as pornography.
