Definition:

Sex tech refers to both depictions of sex and technology and the actual application of technology to sexual expression. Sex tech might be a fictional story about two robots who fall in love (well maybe just lust). Sex tech might be a man taking Viagra to enhance his ability to get an erection for sex with a partner. Sex tech is using text messages, camera phones, and the Internet to interact with others and with ourselves sexually.
