I really do enjoy writing for Future Of Sex ... and, as proof of that, two new pieces of mine just went live there.
Here are some teasers (and links to the full articles):
4 Ways Tech Is Changing the Language of Love
How we talk about sex—now and in the future.
“The limits of my language means the limits of my world.” -Ludwig Wittgenstein
There’s always been an unspoken vocabulary of caresses, glances, and sounds, of course. But we’re in the 21st century now, and our technological options for expressing desire—over vast distances and across what used to be cultural barriers—has (to use a silly double-entendre) swelled incredibly.
We don’t just have new ways to correspond with each other but entirely new languages to play with. Lovers, or just playmates, can flirt, be titillating, or even directly stimulate each other speaking or typing a single word.

Recently, we looked at some possible changes to how we all may be living and playing, at home or elsewhere.
Love hotels for when sex needs a bit more room than microhomes can offer, as well as virtual and augmented reality to give the illusion of space, are certainly intriguing ideas. But there are more innovations in interactive tech and flexible design that will alter our houses of the future
So what happens when we take the concepts of modular construction and smart home technology and do a bit of future-casting?
Let’s rev up our imaginations and try to picture our sensual, and sexual, residences of the next century.
