ABSTRACT
We speak of sexuality today as never before. In the past who could speak of sex and the body was tightly regulated – Churches and states, yes, the medical profession, usually, poets and novelists, perhaps. That did not stop the masses thinking about it, or living and doing it, but their voices were rarely heard or when heard not listened to. Now we have a mass democracy speaking of sex: through the globalized media, on television in chat shows, confessional programmes, soap operas, reality shows, documentaries and advertisements; on the web in chat rooms, social networks, blogs and vlogs; and in the myriad forums and intimacies of everyday life. We can all claim to be experts today, true to our selves in our own fashion.
