What might the future of sex look like? Futurologists and sexologists are quick to embrace sex tech as the final frontier of pleasure, but sociologist @kenhanson.bsky.social argues we need to examine our past first to figure out where we're going.

Even the scholarship that weaves sexuality with race, class, or/and gender tends to operate disconnected from questions of the body. Read more about racialized embodiment in this work by Cristina Khan and Salvador Vidal-Ortiz.

โ€œLeave it to academics to ruin sex! Too often,
sociologists either ignore actual sex or, when sex
is actually present, they discuss it in a clinical
way... where we would
legitimately expect to see some discussion of
actual sex, it is absent.โ€ Angela Jones, 2018

โ€œThe time has come to think about sex. To some,
sexuality may seem to be an unimportant topic,
a frivolous diversion from the more critical
problems...But sexuality should be treated with
special respect in times of great social stress.โ€ Gayle Rubin 1984. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
