Pornographic content on the internet is a very fashionable "sex toy" in the 21st century. "Don't think it looks insignificant, but it's actually like a heavy bomb buried underground that can destroy many of America's private lives and career prospects.".
This is a warning from the American psychologist Kimberly Young. Contrary to popular belief, indulging in pornographic content on the internet is not all a bad habit of the lower class. In the past seven years, Yang has answered people's questions on the web and advised thousands of couples, all of whom are lawyers, doctors, and officials. These are some people who go to church every Sunday.
Based on a recent survey, Al Cooper, an online sex expert and renowned psychologist at the San Jose Center for Marriage and Sexual Issues in California, made a relatively accurate estimate: At least 200000 people in the United States regularly visit at least one pornographic website.
A few years ago, pornographic websites mainly let visitors browse some pages with pornographic content roughly. Now, lecherous chat rooms open their doors to you. They brazenly provide you with interactive sexual partners, providing you with virtual images of the lover's body to enhance the impression and stimulate the senses. Continuous videos of "sexual" material are widely used. Online, there are even live broadcasts of "sex" activities.
Why are so many people addicted to pornographic websites? Kimberly Young believes that it is necessary to explore the causes in depth and study how to restore the victim's normal life, control and manage their own life. She cautioned that people may accidentally discover pornographic websites online, but once viewing these content becomes a habit, they can't stop it. The content of this pornographic website is like drugs, making you addicted.
American medical experts have sounded the alarm that the number of people addicted to pornographic websites is increasing rapidly. Psychologist Al Cooper divides the process of people getting involved into three stages: entry to search, spending money, and anonymity. Browsing these online is easy. You don't need to sneak away from your friends in a bar, go to those vulgar corners of town, or be spotted in the red light district. They almost cut off contact with their relatives and friends and closed themselves up.
Cooper further analyzed the situation of these people and believed that they could be divided into three categories:
The first category accounts for about 10%, and they are the most serious. Even if they don't fool around online, they can engage in romantic affairs and even sexually harass children.
The second category accounts for about 20%, and they have just stepped into this trap. If these harmful websites are banned and banned, they will turn their backs on the precipice and lose their way.
Another 70% belong to the third category. They are just "entertainment" and "leisure", like scanning women's underwear advertisements with their eyes and flipping through Playboy magazine - driven by curiosity, lured in, but not deliberately pursued.
To what extent is it considered "addiction"? Physicians and psychologists do not define how much time they spend on computers. Addicts do not control themselves, leading to the destruction of their personal lives and careers.
Raymond, male, 58 years old, is a patient of Kimberley Young. He was originally a successful entrepreneur who accidentally fell in love with pornographic websites. He also pretended to be a 20 year old college student, a fantasy computer enthusiast, and set up fake photos online to seduce and deceive some women. With the help of a psychologist, Raymond realized that this was a vicious act that harmed both others and himself. What he did destroyed his career and family life.
Craig is a 53 year old computer dealer. He felt that young people in the industry were advancing much faster than themselves and were under great pressure on themselves, so he mistakenly used pornographic websites to anesthetize his mind. He was caught in the bait and couldn't extricate himself. Ultimately, it further weakened the ability to work and actual performance in the industry. Fortunately, under Yang's guidance and exhortation, he has reformed.
Lindsay Short Jr., president of the American Academy of Marriage Law Lawyers and Sciences, pointed out that it should not be assumed that men are all lecherous. Based on his legal work experience in Houston, he explained that wives are usually bored and mentally empty, and there are no fewer people browsing pornographic websites online than their husbands. Men and women have equal opportunities to become addicted to online pornography.
