Book excerpt: In the late 20th century, the world experienced a sexual revolution that forever altered the ways we talk about, think about, and engage in sexual activities and relationships. That period shattered traditional norms and introduced the mainstream to the concept that sexuality could be openly discussed, taught, and celebrated. It was a monumental cultural shift that set the stage for the various ways we understand human sexuality today. But we are on the brink of another monumental shift-welcome to Sexual Revolution 2.0. This book, "Sexual Revolution 2.0: Reconfiguring Norms in the Age of Digital Intimacy," aims to offer an authoritative account of how technology, social change, and evolving norms are heralding a new phase in the sexual revolution. One that's taking place not in secretive underground clubs or isolated academic settings but within the highly accessible landscape of the Internet, emerging technologies, and social media platforms. To say we live in interesting times is a monumental understatement. The second decade of the 21st century has brought forth an explosion of dialogue around sexuality, and with it, dramatic changes in attitudes and behaviors. The global conversation around issues such as consent, gender identity, and sexual orientation is richer and more nuanced than ever before. Technology has both complicated these conversations and provided new solutions. Digital platforms have given rise to new forms of relationships, from online dating to long-distance interactive sexual experiences. The industry of "sextech" is burgeoning, challenging taboos and reshaping the very mechanics of sexual pleasure. In the following chapters, you will be introduced to various facets of this new revolution.
