Cybersex

AdelaideNow... Cybersex users more depressed - study

PEOPLE who seek out cybersex have "alarmingly high" rates of depression, anxiety and stress and typically devote hours a day to the covert activity, a study shows.

Why am I not surprised to read this? Virtual sex isn't even sex on the brain. At least that has an organic aspect to it. People who cannot relate to real people would be depressed because they are not forming real life relationships and there would be an aspect of isolation and loneliness in their lives. The solitary interaction with a lump of plastic and wires would not help them to feel happy I shouldn't think. The research is hugely valid because it identifies the sorts of people who need our help and it has zeroed in on some of their problems. In that sense it has been very helpful and productive . It means we can remedy the situation and think of ways and means of helping these men, largely, to re engage with real life.
