Cybersex Addiction Therapy

Psychological ARTS offers an unusual, self-guided treatment approach for cybersex addiction. First some general information about cybersex addiction. Cybersex is defined as type-written communication for the sole purpose of achieving sexual arousal. Until recently, men dominated the use of the internet for sexual arousal and gratification, but things are changing.

Women are now online more than men. At this point it is estimated that both men and women use the internet for cybersex about equally. Overall, about 6% of internet users are compulsive in their online behavior, and about half of those are sexually compulsive. About 50% percent of the people who engage in cybersex take the contact a step further by talking on the phone, and about 15 - 30% meet in person.

Internet addiction offers a fantasy world in which there are endless people who appear to be interesting and more importantly, interested in you. Young, sexually inexperienced people may find it easier to engage in internet "relationships" than to risk the face-to-face rejection of a real person. As the compulsive user becomes more immersed in this shadow world, denial takes hold and he or she comes to view these "friends" and "partners" as more real than the actual spouse or family.

The costs of feeding the cybersex habit can be severe. Sadly, the decision to change is generally not sufficient and most cybersex addicts who try to stop or cut down, eventually relapse. For more than 25 years Dr. Dubin has helped a wide range of sex addicts, including compulsive cybersex users, achieve a good outcome for themselves and their families. Many tools developed with and for this population (including hypnotherapy audio downloads) are available free of charge on this web site. We encourage you to take advantage of them so you can determine if this approach is well matched with your style, traits, and tastes. If it is, we hope you will become a part of PARTS' interest group in the study of will and addiction.
