This week’s Sex Drive column:
Master’s Student Demonstrates Thesis Project in Her Underwear
I’ve noticed a wonderful trend happening at universities these past few years: projects that integrate sex and technology in innovative ways to improve human health and well-being.Students interested in how technology and sexuality fit together — who take technology’s role in sexual development for granted — are naturally drawn to fields like interactive telecommunications, human-computer interaction and affective computing. It’s a multidisciplinary movement that inspires collaboration among engineers, artists, psychologists and sociologists — and in these studies, sex comes first. Tech is merely a catalyst.
