Sexual behavior is shifting more and more into digital contexts: Dating apps are used to initiate sex contacts, so-called sexting is now part of intimate communication, and people interact sexually with artifacts such as robots.
The special issue "Sexual Interaction in Digital Contexts: Opportunities and Risks for Sexual Health" of the journal "Frontiers in Psychology" (IF = 2.99), edited by Prof. Döring of the Research Group Media Psychology and Media Design at TU Ilmenau together with a team of high-ranking colleagues from the fields of psychology, communication science and medicine, sheds light on this development in a total of ten theoretical and empirical studies from three continents. Preliminary work on this special issue was funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG).
