How sex changed the internet and the internet changed sex : an unexpected history / by Cole, Samantha(Journalist),author.(CARDINAL)862246;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 262-267) and index.Part 1.0: The revolution will be digitized -- The internet was built on sex -- Cyber-utopia, censorship, and tinysex -- Graphic images: the internet opens its eyes -- Webmasters of their own domains -- A brief history of online dating -- Part 2.0: Dollars and sense -- Porn 2.0 and the camgirl revolution -- The digital fig leaf: sexual censorship online -- Sex sells: classified ads -- Plug and play: internet-connected sex toys -- Algorithms, monopolies, and MindGeek -- Part 3.0: The end of the beginning -- Consider the "cybersex addict:" a virtual sexual education -- Rated M for mature: sex in online gaming -- Faking it: deepfakes, deep problems -- Fuck the system: crime and legislation -- The future of fucking online."From the moment there was an "online," there was sex online. The famous test image used by software engineers to develop formats like the jpeg was "Lena," taken from Playboy's November 1972 centerfold. Early bulletin boards and multi-user domains quickly came to serve their members' sexual musings. Facebook started as a way to rate "hot or not" Harvard co-eds. In fact, virtually every significant development that defines the Internet we know and love (and hate) today--privacy issues, online payments and online banking, dating, social media, streaming technology, mass data collection--came out of the meeting of sexuality and technology. And the kicker is, not only did sexuality vastly influence the Internet, but the Internet arguably changed modern human sexuality by giving every imaginable non-heteronormative community a place to explore, fantasize, thrive, and be accepted."--

The Danish girl [sound recording] / by Ebershoff, David.; Woodman, Jeff.nrt; HighBridge Audio (Firm);
Narrated by Jeff Woodman.Inspired by the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his California-born wife, this tender portrait of a marriage asks: what do you do when someone you love wants to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked of a husband by his wife on an afternoon chilled by the Baltic wind while both are painting in their studio. Her portrait model has cancelled; would he slip into a pair of women's shoes and stockings for a few moments so she can finish the painting on time? "Of course," he answers. "Anything at all." With that one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the twentieth century begins.

Sex and punishment : four thousand years of judging desire / by Berkowitz, Eric.(CARDINAL)602400;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 411-434) and index.Channeling the urge: the first sex laws -- Honor among (mostly) men: cases from ancient Greece -- Imperial bedrooms: sex and the state in ancient Rome -- The Middle Ages: a crowd condemned -- Groping toward modernity: the early modern period, 1500-1700 -- The new world of sexual opportunity -- The eighteenth century: revelation and revolution -- The nineteenth century: human nature on trial."The 'raging' frenzy of the sex drive, to use Plato's phrase, has always defied control. However, that's not to sat that every civilization has not tried, using its most powerful weapon: the Law. At any given point in history some forms of sex were condoned while others were punished mercilessly. Jump back or forward a century or two or cross a border and the harmless fun of one society becomes the gravest crime in another. Sex and Punishment tells the story of the struggle to regulate the most powerful engine of human behavior. Writer and lawyer Eric Berkowitz has accomplished what no scholar has yet achieved: to use flesh and blood cases--much flesh, even more blood--to evoke the entire sweep of Western sex law, from the savage impalement of an ancient Mesopotamian adulteress to the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde in 1895 for 'gross indecency.' The cast of Sex and Punishment includes royal mistresses, gay charioteers, medieval transvestites, misbehaving government officials, lonely goat-lovers, priests, prostitutes, and London rent boys. Each had forbidden sex, and each was judged--though justice as Berkowitz shows, rarely has much to do with it. With the light touch of a natural storyteller, Berkowitz spins these tales and more, going behind closed doors to reveal the essential history of human desire."--Publisher's website.
