The purpose of this book is to present a decade of research on internet sexuality. In part, we are doing this by presenting a selection of our publications on the subject, and in part by writing this introduction to explain how it all started and unfolded, to reflect on the content and results of our research, and to outline some future directions.

Moreover, we discuss the themes and trends in internet sexuality research that we have observed over the years, both in our own research and in general. We will end this introduction with a short presentation of the papers that make up this collection and the reasons for their inclusion.
