Abstract
The globalized social state known as "the new normal" goes far beyond than the norms and habits of physical distancing, limited person-to-person contact, teleworking, and self-isolation established with the irruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of significant changes in human behavior spreads in societies all around the world: an emergent state reconfiguring desire, conditioning pleasure and producing new realities, including uncharted forms of experiencing sex, relationships, gender awareness, and self-transformation, but also of control and governmentality as well. Sexuality and Eroticism in a Post-Pandemic World explores this new cultural atmosphere through twelve interdisciplinary essays going from ars erotica to alternative pornography, from online dating and virtual reality to gender fluidity, from LGBTQI+ artivism to sex life cultivation, and more.
