Ronald Wagner: Chemsex in the Digital Age, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

In the shadows of clubs, private apartments, and digital chats, a phenomenon is unfolding that is as modern as it is disturbing: chemsex-the combination of drugs, sexuality, and digital networks. What at first glance appears to be a marginal issue turns out, on closer inspection, to be a reflection of our times: an era in which body, technology, and desire merge. This book takes the reader into the complex world of chemsex - beyond prejudice and moral outrage. It shows how digital capitalism is changing desire, how intimacy is becoming a commodity, and how people risk losing themselves in their search for closeness. It is not just about drugs or sexuality, but about the deepest question of the 21st century: What does it mean to feel when everything is connected? Chemsex as a symptom of a society that seeks intensity because it has lost resonance. Between intoxication and loneliness, freedom and dependence, a polyphonic portrait of modern lust emerges - analytical, poetic, and deeply human.
