The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies consists of a comprehensive collection of essays that review and supplement current work focusing on sex and sexuality in games. The chapters provide insight into sexual content in games, representation of various sexualities, and player experience. Together they contribute to a growing field of work concerning two, difficult to define, phenomena: the borders of sex and sexuality and video games. As we frequently see debates and discussions over who gets to love whom and who gets to exist in their true self, this handbook plays a part in outlining the parameters of crucial issues within the games that we play.
