Technology, Privacy, and Sexting: Mediated Sex takes a scientific approach to sexting, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate why individuals sext, the technologies they utilize to send and receive sext messages both now and looking ahead to the future, and the privacy concerns they have when sharing these sexual materials. In this book, Kathryn D. Coduto discusses concerns ranging from revenge porn to computer hackers and data breaches, as well as impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on sexting and sexuality. Ultimately, this book offers a deep dive into sexting at a time of rapid change, both for technology and for the people who utilize it. Scholars of communication, media studies, sociology, and psychology will find this book of particular interest.
