Abstract:
The technology, which begins to reshape almost every phase of fields such as industry, agriculture, health, economy, defense, has also started to affect the human and social life and to take a significant role in the decision processes with digitalizing. The most explicit feature which we encounter within the new digital world in which the needs have been changing with the social platforms is the fact that the digital interactions have gradually substituted for the face-to-face human connections worldwide. Now, socializing has formed a digital identity in the digital platform where it has been thought that more free space has been provided within the context of human and society relations. New technological tendencies and social cases have started to emerge with this identity. Digital identity has been reaching up to a point where it affects and guides real life in the meantime. This process which is affected by choices and lifestyles leads to the emergence of the concept of digital sexuality based on sexual tendencies. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the fact that people make a relationship with smart devices as they do with people and the admiration for digital/anime characters have been bringing out this situation up to the marriage point. Digital sexuality/marriage within the context of digital characters-human relations, its causes, and future, and the effect of technology on collective life have been approached in this article with the fact that digitalizing has gained huge ground in our lives. The case analysis has been done with an individual, who executed a digital marriage, with a qualitative research approach and by the usage of semi-structured interview style.
