Internet sex makes you sad, anxious?
Although now overtaken by social networking sites as the most visited places on the web, pornography sites remain well-trafficked. But spending too much time online in the pursuit of carnal pleasure might have serious implications for your mental health, according to researchers in Australia.
The work, presented at a meeting in Australia last month, finds a link between clinical depression and an online sex life. 1,325 men from the US and Australia were surveyed about their Internet sex habits, which might include trolling for porn, participating in online chats, or doing things with webcams. They were also asked questions designed to elucidate the respondents’ state of mental health with regards to depression.
A significant percentage (27 percent) of those surveyed displayed moderate to severe depression, with similar numbers suffering from anxiety (30 percent) and stress (35 percent). Marcus Squirrell, a PhD student at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, and the author of the study, found a correlation between the severity of depression and the amount of time spent engaged in online sexual activity.
Regarding the Internet sex article, you’re right. But you mention: “Although now overtaken by social networking sites as the most visited places on the web, pornography sites remain well-trafficked” A lot of the social networking sites are semi-pornographic already. They are, without a doubt, influenced by pornography. The mainstreaming of porn can be seen in the ads on myspace, the pictures and content of facebook etc.
You are right, what often looks like an innocent social network can be a perfect place for porn, predators and abusers. If parents knew what went on with teens on myspace,facebook…etc
If parents knew the pictures posted it would amaze them. Many girls do not realize the damage they do to themselves on the internet.
