In this podcast, I caught up with Dr. Neil McArthur, Professor of Philosophy at Manitoba University and asked him about the term Digisexual. Digisexuality is a term first introduced by Dr. Neil McArthur and Markie Twist’s, 2017 Journal of Sexual & Relationship Therapy paper, ‘The Rise of Digisexuality – Therapeutic Challenges & Possibilities’. A Digisexual is someone whose primary sexual identity comes through the use of Technology – so if a big part of your sexual experiences and connections with another person via things such as sexting or Skype. You’re probably also a Digisexual.
