This book presents recent sociological research investigating the intersection of technology, human sexuality, and health. Rapid advances within biomedical, biomechanical, and biodigital domains have prompted scholarly exploration into the ways these technologies are being integrated into, or are reshaping, human sexual and intimate practices and the resulting health implications. Scholarship has also focused on the potential for new technologies to extend the imagined, and real, possibilities for enhancing human sexual experiences. The chapters in this book delve into the interconnected themes of sex, health, bodies, and risk in relation to emerging technologies. They illuminate the intricate interplay between human bodies, sexual practices and technologies, spotlight how novel technologies and human practices collaboratively shape or remodel cultures of sex and intimacy, and critically interrogate the discourses of risk and pleasure that frame our understanding of technology and sex.Researchers within the fields of sociology, technology studies, human sexuality, and health, as well as educators and professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of how people engage with technologies in their intimate relationships and sex lives, will find this collection engaging and informative. Additionally, individuals interested in the cultural, societal, and ethical implications of emerging technologies in relation to sexual experiences and health will also benefit from the insights presented in this volume. The chapters in this book were originally published in several journals, including Health Sociology Review, Journal of Gender Studies, and Information & Communications Technology Law.

My Journey to an Organized Life breaks the rules of traditional, organizational, self-help books through the use of a story. The reader is introduced to Mary, the epitome of a typical middle-aged woman challenged by chronic disorganization. Mary is a companion who walks the reader through her own life story of organizational agonies and successes. She provides the motivation, support, hope, confidence, and knowledge to aid others on their own journey to an organized life. Each chapter includes a Now It's Your Turn section that the reader can use as a step-by-step workbook to achieve her own organizational goals in the areas of goal setting, time management, finances, paper, and home organization.
