    Description

    The sexual landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades, with the meaning of gender and sexuality now being parsed within the realms of gender fluidity, nonheteronormative sexuality, BDSM, and polyamory. The sea change in sexual attitudes has also made room for the mainstreaming of internet pornography and the use of virtual reality for sexual pleasure – and the tech gurus have not even scratched the surface when it comes to mining the possibilities of alternative realities.

    This book surveys modern sex culture and suggests ways psychoanalysis can update its theories and practice to meet the novel needs of today’s generations, at the same time, paying special attention to technology, which is augmenting and expanding sexual and gender possibilities. The authors consider how sexuality and bonding in this brave new world are best suited to meet our psychoanalytic needs.

    Nominated for Gradiva Award for best psychoanalytic book 2020 (United States).

    1 review for The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis

    1. Isaac Tylim, Psychoanalytic Psychology, American Psychological Association 2022, Vol. 39, No. 4, 342–343 – 15/08/2024

      ‘Knafo and Lo Bosco, the co-authors of the award-winning The Age of Perversion, Desire and Technology in Psychoanalysis and Culture, have teamed up again for a compelling exploration of contemporary sexuality under a psychoanalytic informed frame. […] Their new book revisits the impact of that link on modern sex culture while offering contemporary practitioners novel ways to explore sex and gender of today’s generation. […] The elusive realm of sex, gender, and identity is eloquently presented and discussed, with special attention to a novel sexual lexicon that is gaining prominence in psychoanalytic narratives. […] Sex has been neglected, if not cast out from the psychoanalytic field. Just as Knafo and Lo Bosco did in their previous book, the authors join those who try to place sex back at the center stage of psychoanalytic discourse.’
