People of all ages use the internet and social media in search of romantic and sexual experiences.

Does this change the way we love? Can it improve our intimate relations? And what are the risks?

Researchers from our Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and our Centre for Intimate and Sexual Citizenship give their insights on digital media.
