Abstract

The digital realm is vast. In this chapter, we are going to focus on the specific implications of the relationship between sex and digital culture to further our understanding of deviance and crime. In order to do this, we need to unpack some of what we think we know about digital cultures and pay attention to the distinctly political ways in which the digital realm operates when it comes to sexuality. In this chapter, we will first examine how the Internet and online domain have affected dating and relationship behaviours, including sexting, cybersex and ‘revenge porn’. The discussion will lead us into our second case study – the phenomenon of romance fraud and fraud in online romances. We will finish by examining how sexualised violence and harassment are exacted in online domains by focusing on trolls and what is called the ‘manosphere’.
