I put together a brief reader for my undergrad course in cyberporn several years back. There are still some copies floating around out there: "Cyberporn & Society." Probably won't get you too far if you are doing research or already have a good grounding in the issues, but provides a bit of an introduction. Less on virtual sex, more on pornography. - Alex On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 7:29 AM, Steve Jones <sjones@uic.edu> wrote:
There are a few books in the Digital Formations series I edit for Peter Lang that might be of interest, depending on the definition of virtual sex and virtual pornography, and the focus of your interests, and some that may be useful as a foundation even if not directly on the topic, including Susanna Paasonen's "Figures of Fantasy: Internet, Women and Cyberdiscourse," Consalvo's and Paasonen's "Women and Everyday Uses of the Internet: Agency and Identity," O'Riordan's and Phillips' "Queer Online," Waskul's "Net.SeXXX: Readings on Sex, Pornography, and the Internet" and "Self-Games and Body-Play: Personhood in Online Chat and Cybersex," and Senft's "Camgirls: Celebrity and Community in the Age of Social Networks." I expect the series to continue to publish books broadly on this topic, too.

Does anyone know any good sources to read from people who are looking into virtual sex and virtual pornography, from CGI pornography to sex games to sexual acts in virtual worlds?
