What s going to happen is a pattern of it. There are about 100,000 pornography Web sites on the Internet. People like the anonymity of the Internet. It lets them see and do sexual things they wouldn t try otherwise. Sex addicts will download pornographic pictures showing people having sex, they will direct sexual acts and watch them performed live via computer cameras, they will exchange pornographic pictures and sexual information with others and they will meet other sex addicts in sexual chat rooms.
Internet pornography is called the crack cocaine of the sex addiction industry.
Even though the number of pornographic Web sites is increasing, so is the number of Web sites designed to help sex addicts become sexually sober. The group Sex Addicts Anonymous has posted a self-assessment test on the Internet Sex Addicts Anonymous to help people determine whether they have a problem. It also offers lots of resources to people who discover they do have a problem. If you or someone you know may be sexually addicted, you should try to get help. There are a lot of resources on the Internet and in bookstores.
