Technology and new forms of communication are some of the variables that have most influenced the composition of today’s society, have been gaining importance relentlessly and gradually, there are virtually no areas or fields that have evolved independently of their presence, technology has influenced our rest, diet and sexuality.
There are many forms of technology, but mobile phones are perhaps the most present and disturbing, in the area of sexuality you no longer need to have a face-to-face, or even be physically with another person to maintain a sexual relationship. Relationship.
- First.
- Technology has made available a lot of sexual content.
- Information.
- But also virtual spaces of debate.
- Movies.
- More or less explicit.
- With a huge sexual burden and without censorship.
- Content that can be consumed whenever and however we want.
The lack of censorship has helped to wipe out many taboos, but
Without going far, the analyses that have been done about adult content cinema reveal that scenes have little or nothing to do with reality, in many of them women are treated as an object or reinforce the idea that she “does not”. . Faced with a man’s insistence on having sex, this is simply a sham.
The fact that the Internet provides us with this type of information is not negative, however, it is important to be aware that adults are not the only ones who have access to it, ideally not to reinforce our ideas and beliefs about sexual encounters. , but to know how to differentiate what we see on the Internet or in any movie from what happens in reality.
Another way in which technology has influenced sexuality is how we relate to others, whether they are known or not, sending photos or videos with more or less explicit sexual content has become a revolution.
Sexting is often a spark that many couples need to stimulate their sexual desire, so it can be a valuable tool. However, we should keep in mind that submitted content can be displayed or shared with others.
We should also mention dating apps. These applications have greatly reduced the wear and tear of starting a relationship, as there is a world of possibilities.
Through these applications or websites we can know the characteristics of a large group of people and decide if they match what we are looking for.
With this type of technology it is much easier to find people who look like us, there are more options to choose from, so we can be more selective, besides, all this happens very quickly, responding to the need of many people than Despair because they do not have time to devote themselves to their obligations and are always looking for a partner.
The problem is that we don’t always find real profiles in these apps, another important point is that, in the face of such an important offer, relationships tend to end easily, without people actually knowing each other. they out in number and we don’t even realize it.
The emotional bond has changed. We have applications available for countless people, with whom we decide to interact when we like your photo, thanks to the chat of the application itself, we communicate with them and start a conversation.
Many people see this as an advantage, because by shyness they encounter obstacles, in their own personality or in their fears, to know themselves, however, the price to overcome to overcome these obstacles using technology is that it becomes much more complicated to really get to know us.
In addition, avoiding situations in which we must apply our social skills prevents their development.
?? The case of Tinder and other similar applications or platforms seeks to fill the void caused by the loneliness of a society connected to digital networks, but not in human networks, in a society that erodes the community and exalts the individuality and estrangement of others ?.
One consequence of the way we live our sexuality is that today there is more mistrust among couples, which is even manifested by absurd problems, such as adding a new person that the couple does not know on a social network.
As you can see, the influence of technology has had a big impact on sexuality, however, Espinoza Rojas states:
“The sexuality we live in today is different and will change as we change as a society. However, we must be aware of how technology influences society. Moreover, in creating bonds with others, we must think about this: can we believe that we are closer when we are actually even further away from each other?
