The internet has opened up the world to us with a touch of a screen and click of a mouse.  Anything and everything you want to see, hear, watch, and learn is right at our fingertips in the privacy of our own homes.

However, the internet can be a double edged sword,on one side it has revolutionized how we obtain information and communicate with others, while on the other it can be a conduit for darker primal desires.

As technology has evolved to liberate a generation of people, it has also created a dependency for constant contact and emotional stimulation. These desires that are fuled by the internet have created a hightly lucrative business for the sex industry.

Synthetic sex is by far the most sought after and abused desire based internet addiction. Online pornograbpy has gained leaps and bounds in popularity over traditional media methods of print and film, and the market seems to be only expanding.

In part this is due to the ease of access, having everything you want to see right in the privacy of your home at any time of the day or night. Where at one time, professional photographers, film makers, models and actors had to create porn in a more restrictive arena, anyone can create and post any type of porn easily online.

An unfortuntate byproduct of the internet pornography industry is its crippling effects on both men and women. The percentage of people struggling with porn addiction is growing rapidly due to the availability of images online.

No longer do people have to muster up the confidence to walk into a store and ask to purchase a dirty magazine, now some of the darkest desires can even be accidently found by unintentionally typing the wrong words.

Porn is actually changing consumers’ bodies and brains in a negative manner, and many people who partake of internet porn find it begins to take over their thoughts and their lives.

Social isolation, diminished relationship bonding, and lack of motivation are among the most common behaviour changes that result from online porn addiction. Often times, people find that their thoughts are so consumed with their addiction that they begin to draw into themselves, triggering loss of jobs and healthy relationships.   By taking over the lives of those who are addicted, online pornography has become a leading cause of failed relationships and failed careers.
