WIRED Magazine Will Do A Sex Issue

Besides Internet porn, technology has become an integral part of modern love and sex. Many of us have met someone special online. It’s really not that much of shock that the science and technology magazine WIRED is about to print its first ever sex edition, entitled “Sex In The Digital Age.”  

If you think about it, sexting has replaced passing notes, flirting is done with sexy pictures, and finding your love can be easy to find thanks to dating websites. Technology like the Internet is meant to connect us, so it isn’t surprising that we would turn to technology to help us find love and sex. Senior editor Caitlin Roper said in a statement:

However visceral, animalistic, or fleeting, sex is, at its core, about human connection. And we now live in the most connected age in history.

Getting it on is different today. How we find partners, how we learn what excites us, how we flirt, how we make dates, how we grow closer, how we turn each other on—all of it has changed

Having any type of porn at your fingers is great, but the Internet can also be a great resource. There are online communities for just about every fetish, every desire, and every orientation. It can really help you feel not so alone in this crazy world.    

There are sites for every fetish, sex toys for every taste and anatomy, and yes, there is porn for every predilection. The web has flattened the world—enabling even the most isolated individual to find others who share their specific interests and desires. In many ways it has made us all both voyeurs and exhibitionists in our own personal sexual landscape.

There is an upside and downside to most everything. I have always thought that in the future it will be a rare occasion when you vote for someone who hasn’t sent a dirty text or have a nude photo of themselves floating around the web. Technology and sexy won’t be taboo.  

And so this issue of WIRED brings you stories about love and sex in the digital age. This is how we do it today. Get ready to plug in, turn on, and get off.

It’ll be interesting to see what all WIRED will talk about and if this will become a regular edition in the future.
