About the Book
Few things are more misunderstood and cause more fear and suspicion than the combination of female sexuality and the Internet. Naked on the Internet explores how women use cyberspace, personally and professionally, to learn about themselves, connect with others, and make a living. Author Audacia Ray then goes further, examining the Internet as a valuable—though often problematic—sexual space.
Ray combines her insider’s knowledge with the voices of a variety of women whose firsthand experiences include camming, chatting, and making websites; dating, hooking up, and forming friendships; sex and relationship blogging; and making porn and doing other forms of sex work. She also examines the power of sexual health and online support communities and the technology that enables physical sexual encounters.
Naked on the Internet gives insight into the ways women use, experience, and cash in on the Internet, and provides a critical analysis of the empowering and oppressive aspects of women’s online experiences.
