Abstract

Over the last 20 years, our lives and most notably our communication methods with one another have been taken over by technology. Technology affects our interpersonal relationships through altering the way in which relationships are formed, maintained, and terminated. In its interaction with our sex lives, technology offers certain advantages and certain areas that may make couples vulnerable to specific issues in their relationships. The purpose of this chapter is the review the issues technology may introduce into one’s sex life as well as the contributions technology can make to one’s sexual relationship.
