Touch Goes High-Tech

The Internet is overflowing with sexually-oriented discussion groups, chat lines, and libraries. A brief glance in any video or computer store will demonstrate that CD-ROM manufacturers have also caught on; flooding the market with various "interactive" pornography, as well as instructional discs like Dr. Ruth's Encyclopedia of Sex.

"Every medium that gives good information and that you can use to make your sex life better and safer is a good thing," states Ruth Westheimer, Ph.D., a.k.a. Dr. Ruth, the sex therapist, radio personality, and author of Sex for Dummies. "If virtual reality can help prevent diseases such as AIDS, or access a younger generation, then by all means, all of the technology should be used."
