O.com : Cybersex Addiction is a cautionary tale of the Internet’s profound effect on human sexuality. Each day, hundreds of thousands of individuals access the Internet to make sexual contact with each other without ever having met eyes or saying a simple hello. In that most intimate of human interactions, sexual encounters, the boundaries no longer exist between computer and human. This is the story of real people whose virtual worlds became more compelling, more ‘real’, than the outside world. Cybersex addicts are messengers with a communiqué for all of us about technology’s ability to accelerate our alienation from each other.
