It has become a cliché to say the internet has changed sex, and it is certainly an understatement. As digital technologies have opened up new possibilities for finding sex and love, so too are they demanding new ways of thinking about how we do research. While presenting new conceptual and methodological challenges, the textual, archival and public nature of online spaces have actually enhanced our ability to research sex.

In this seminar, Denton will share his experiences with a range of emerging digital methods via an online ethnography of male sex work in Australia, exploring their potential for illuminating diverse configurations of sex and sexualities.
