OMSI’s Science Pub topic for the Tuesday, March 30 edition at the Mission Theater (1624 NW Glisan) is Sex, Relationships, and Technology.

The Internet has changed the way we communicate, do business, and access information. But how has it affected our sexuality and sexual relationships? Can a person truly fall in love with someone online? How has “sex-tech” altered our view of intimacy? Learn more about how the Internet is rewriting the rules of romance and some of the fundamental principles of psychology as well.

The presenter is PSU professor and researcher L. Kris Gowen, PhDAs. She has been has been a sexuality educator for over ten years and is a section leader for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). And she blogs about how the Internet impacts teen sexuality for better or for worse. We talk about social networking, sex education, online romance, internet predators — anything that ties teen sexuality to cyberspace at Virtual Mystery Tour

Doors open at 5pm, and the presentation starts at 7pm. $2 suggested admission, 21 and over but minors are allowed with an accompanying adult.
