Techno-Sexual Landscapes by Richard Cleminson, Angel Juan Gordo-Lopez

From the Publisher

"At first sight, to ask how sex has been influenced by technology over time may appear to be a perplexing question. There is no doubt about the current importance of the new technologies of reproduction, sex-change operations, and the passion that electronic chat-rooms incite. However, it might be argued, this is surely a recent phenomenon and the past has little to reveal about 'techno-sexual' relations." This book draws on a number of examples of 'productive' relations between technology and sexuality: the technical and sexual organisation of medieval monasteries, the moral and erotic transgression afforded by the early wind and water mill, and the romances forged in the context of the train.
