This study focuses on the language around sexuality and discourses about sex, labeled by the authors as metasex, from a broad crosslinguistic perspective. Unlike many existing studies on sexting that predominantly take into account the linguistic practices of teenagers often located in the Global North, this book offers a more holistic approach by discussing Southern concepts of body parts, their conceptualization and mediatization (“dick pics”), the interconnectedness of food and sex and its sensualization (“foodporn”) as well as processes of social cohesion around sex, sociability and conviviality (“bonding”). Based on an anthropological linguistic perspective, the authors analyze metasex practices from Nigeria, DR Congo, Uganda, the Mediterranean, and numerous other contexts. Africanist Agnes Brühwiler’s afterword on sex (talk) in Tanzania rounds off the various fresh insights this study offers.

Chapter 1. Introduction
01
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of Metasex: the discursive dimensions of sex and lust, the interaction of word, text and image, and the power of substances and bodies. It highlights the relevance of the trivial and the banal for the construction of inequality, but also of sovereignty. Furthermore, it is about porn consumerism and its languages and signs. It argues for a perspective on sexting as a practice deeply rooted in enduring colonial and imperial formations.

Chapter 2. Dick pics
01
This chapter provides a discussion and analysis of taboo body part discourse, ways of naming and categorizing (predominantly male) genitalia, experiences of marginalization, exclusion and derogation, as well as the construction of intimacy as a racialized territory. The different perspectives on the penis that are discussed here do not simply depend on differences in concepts and ideologies pertaining to culture, language and societies, but rather are based on the imperial formations that continue to shape the ruinous ways in which we perceive boundaries between ourselves and others.

Chapter 3. Foodporn
01
In this chapter, we explore erotic, obscene, transgressive forms of food talk and its implications in a colonial world. The Othered things we eat, it seems, make us the Othered people we are. The discourse on food-as-porn that is in focus in this chapter is discourse on fat, oil, dogs, genitals and human bodies. The ways in which food talk is positioned, performed and evaluated reveal the complexities of desire and abjection in unequal relationships between people whose historical experiences of colonialism differ.

Chapter 4. Bonding
01
This chapter looks at the manifold ways people address social ties and relationships that bring them together in sexualized contexts, or in those contexts where sex (talk) plays a major role – and through which people’s dependencies upon each other, especially in unequal relationships, become evident. By discussing the (verbal) practices of bonding at sex tourism sites beside the Indian Ocean, bonding through substance, magic and words in Ugandan nightspaces, bonding games in Congolese family contexts and the materiality of bonding through love locks and carved planks at a wooden bar in Jamaica with a historical burden, practices of inclusion and exclusion take place. These experiences of ruinous yet bonding relationships reflect the metalanguage about intimate practices of social cohesion that we explore in this chapter.
