What is Sex, Anyway? with Chloé Locatelli

Chloé Locatelli is a PhD candidate in the Digital Humanities department at King's College London. She completed her Gender Studies' Masters with the Erasmus+ Programme at Universidad de Granada and University of Bologna. Her doctoral research looks at constructions of femininity in sextech and their posthuman potential. She is interested in sextech, 'sex robots', affinity with digital characters and other places where sex, intimacy and digital technologies meet – topics she also covers as a contributor to Futureofsex.net. Chloé has also produced several academic publications. Her latest contribution for Springer's Maschinenliebe (2021), co-authored with Dr Kate Devlin, explores the emphasis on intimacy in sex robot marketing. 

In this episode we explore what we can learn about ourselves by looking at sextech and the way it is marketed.
