This looks like an interesting conference, November 8-11, 2012 in Tampa, FL:
The Internet and sex go together like Florida and sunshine. Online resources enrich our lives with sexual health and sexuality information, opportunities for relationship formation and sexual connections, sexually explicit materials, and commercial sex products. We can also face unintended consequences from Internet use, including dependence/compulsion, abuse, and inaccurate information and misinformation. However, beyond the Internet, myriad of technologies greatly influence human sexual behavior and sexuality both positively and negatively. Thus, the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS) theme is Sexual Science 2.0: Technological innovations in sexuality research. Although submissions from all areas of the scientific study of sexuality are welcomed, we are especially interested in multidisciplinary submissions focused on how technology informs and is a part of the research being conducted by sexual scientists. Potential research topics for plenaries, presentations, and trainings may include:
- Sex and the Internet (Internet sex-seeking, navigating relationships online)
- E-dating (finding dates and relationships online)
- Technology-based sexual health interventions (video, web-based, chatrooms, etc.)
- Cybersex (sexual interactions mediated by Internet or other electronic technology)
- Compulsive online sexual behavior
- Non-monogamy and the Internet
- Special populations and online sexual communities
- Sex and new media, social networks, etc. (Web 2.0, Google+, Facebook, Foursquare, etc.)
- Reproductive and contraceptive technologies
- Technologies pertaining to pharmaceutical/medical treatments and sexual enhancement
- Sex toys and other commercial sex products that utilize technology
- Online sexually explicit material, pornography, and erotica
- Technologies aiding with sex therapy, sex research, sexuality education, etc.
- Technologies for measurement and data collection, including new measurement styles
- Sexual harassment online/cyber-stalking
- “Sexting” and other innovative ways to communicate about sex
- Sex and mobile phones/other portable communication technologies (tablet PCs, phones, laptops, etc.)
- And others…
