Abstract

If we admit that an individual's sexual life consists of 90% discursive material and 10% events, then studying the subject of sexuality through the prism of web studies and describing at scale the representations and discourses carried by this new media should prove to be rich in teaching. During this session, we will present the work carried out around the extraction of one year of publications and exchanges on the Reddit subforum of audio-porn GoneWildAudio. The quantitative and lexicometric analysis of this corpus has allowed us to shed light on this locality of the web in a singular way and to reveal the spectrum unfolding there between heteronormative uses and the visibility of peripheral practices. This work is the result of a study carried out within the Linkfluence company and presented for a psychiatric congress on sexual representations on the web.
