US: EXPERTS WARN ABOUT DANGERS OF ONLINE AFFAIRS

Article Abstract:

Psychologists are warning that the preoccupation with online sex is adversely affecting real sexual relationships. A survey of 17,000 Internet users, conducted by the US-based Centre for Internet Studies and Psychological Health Associates, reveals that the Internet is considered the best way for obtaining sexual stimulation and gratification, and that people were preferring to indulge in fantasies through their computers rather than through normal sexual relationships. Around 57% of users admitted to flirting on the Internet, and 42% admitting to online affairs.

Such people were not as likely to converse with or visit their families and were increasingly isolating themselves, according to research.
