There is a growing research field that integrates sex and technology to find innovative ways to improve human health and well-being. Jennifer Chowdhury, a masters student at NYU created a set of sensors embedded in underwear called Intimate Controllers.

To present her research, Chowdhury had to show pictures of herself in underwear, although she wore a shirt underneath and did wear clothing in her presentation...
