The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis

The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis Synopsis

The sexual landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades, with the meaning of gender and sexuality now being parsed within the realms of gender fluidity and nonheteronormative sexuality. The sea change in sexual attitudes has also made room for the mainstreaming of internet pornography and the use of virtual reality, cybersex, and teledildonics for sexual pleasure. The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis surveys modern sex culture and suggests ways psychoanalysis can update its theories and practice to meet the novel needs of today's generations.
