Hilary W 25/05/11 5:21 AM >>> Greetings,
I was wondering if the list's collective mind could help me with a question: when was cybersex (here defined as two or more individuals engaging in typed descriptions of physical sex acts, emotions etc) first discussed popularly and by whom? The academic history of cybersex extends far back to the Internet's beginnings - lists/MUDs/BBS - and was far more popular back in the 90's than now (when seemingly questions of addiction etc take over apart from Attwood's recent revisit). It all seems to blur together and so far I have Rhinegold (1991) and Turkle (1995) as the earliest and most popularly mentioned discussions. Any thoughts, comments, epiphanies would be greatly appreciated :) -- Hilary Wheaton PhD Candidate Curtin University -http://proceedbydebate.blogspot.com/ -http://hilarywheaton.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
