Looking?: Technology's Impact on Modern Relationships M D Johnson 1. izdevums

Do open relationships, friends with benefits and multiple sexual partners toll the bell for the death of marriage and monogamy, or do they herald a new age of modern relationships? They?re certainly here to stay and are gaining in popularity all around the world. Using the complex sexual relationships between Tony, Robbie and Dave, as well twenty years as a leading divorce lawyer, Looking? tries to asses how technology is changing everything about marriage and our relationships. Modern technology is triggering a new sexual revolution and forcing a redefinition of our relationship paradigm. Texting, selfies, and social media like Facebook have exploded our ability to seek out new mates and hookup apps make sex as easy as online banking. Looking? argues that our Whack-a-mole approach to monogamy, where couples make complex rules desperately trying to preserve it, is failing against this unstoppable rush of technology. Relationships are evolving. The question is, will marriage change with the times, or fade into extinction like the Dodo bird?
