Without sex there would be no internet. From the moment the servers spun up, users were trying to figure out how to use instant connection to pleasures themselves and each other. The history of sex and the internet are intertwined. And what feels like new problems in the space: banking woes, hate speech, harassment, and moral panics about children are all much much older than you think.


That\\u2019s the subject of the new book How Sex Changed the Internet. It\\u2019s out on November 15 and it\\u2019s by Motherboard Senior Editor Samantha Cole. She\\u2019s here with us today to talk about breasts, BBS\\u2019, boy\\u2019s clubs, and the broad strokes of the culture war.
