Gender, Youth, and Intimacy as Seen through the Lens of Sexting

Abstract

This is a book about gender, youth, and the search for sexual intimacy, or what I would call the human curriculum of sexuality. It is concerned with the ways adolescents learn how to become sexual beings in today’s digital world. In particular, I seek to shed light on the ways society shapes adolescent lives and futures through gendered views, expectations, and social practices.
