"Eine kluge Studie über den Supermarkt der Begierde"

"'Sex@mour' [gehört] zu den Standardwerken zum Thema Internet und Liebe."

"Sex@amour" ist ein scharfsinniger Beitrag zur Media-Literacy in Sachen Liebe und Sex. Das Buch liefert nicht nur viele Anhaltspunkte für alle, die im Internet daten, sondern es ist viel weiter gefasst - als eine hochaktuelle Studie über die Kultur von Liebe und Sex.

The internet - a new world unlike any we knew. Here nothing is final and irrevocable, everything can be tried and experimented with and there is always a second chance. But if this is a blessing, it is surely a mixed one.
What is gained and what lost? And, most importantly, how does love - that blissful state we so passionately desire - fare when suspended between online comforts and the rugged reality of the offline world? Jean-Claude Kaufmann offers us, the perplexed and the confused, a truly Priceless service. He locates, spells out and carefully calculates the gains and losses revealed at the critical encounter of the two worlds, at the moment of truth: that first face-to-face date which follows online dating. This illuminating and enlightening study is a report from a battle which no one planned yet few, if any of us, can avoid.'
