This sub-study focuses on how sexual life unfolds in front of the computer – for example, sexual activities online, the purchase of sexual services via computer, differences between genders and other background factors, as well as the link to physical sexual debut. The aim and specific research questions will be formulated in collaboration with the supervisor.
