Virtual sex is one of the behaviors that accompany information technology. Virtual sex refers to both parties obtaining sexual pleasure and satisfaction through tools such as phone, email, online chat, audio, video, etc., rather than actual physical contact. Virtual sex itself is not a pathological behavior, but excessive reliance on it to satisfy sexual desires can lead to virtual sex addiction and damage real life.
Teenagers who have just awakened to sexual consciousness are a high-risk group for virtual sexual dependence. On the one hand, as individuals enter adolescence, their physical and mental development naturally generates curiosity, impulses, and fantasies towards the opposite sex. On the other hand, social culture and moral norms require individuals to suppress impulses. In this case, the network with certain security and anonymity has become a way for teenagers to explore knowledge and dispel sexual impulses.
Among adults, there are also quite a few who are addicted to virtuality. Because the internet provides people with enough imagination space and creates perfect sexual partners. As an extended form of masturbation, many people believe that it is harmless and elegant, and a regulator of life. However, moderate and excessive scales are often difficult to grasp. Some people are restrained in their interactions with the opposite sex in daily life, but they are like fish in water online and full of charm. The internet compensates for a portion of their unmet needs in real life and strengthens individuals. But on the contrary, it also affects interpersonal development in real life.
There are partners in life, but their emotions gradually calm down, turning to virtual sex and seeking new stimulation. Over time, it is difficult to maintain stable and long-term relationships in real life.
In short, virtuality itself is not a monster, but if it has a negative impact on work, studies, interpersonal relationships, romantic relationships, etc., virtuality may have transitioned from moderate love to dependence.
Poisoned individuals must first reduce their online time. Secondly, spend more time socializing with your partner and participating in real-life social activities. For teenagers, schools should encourage normal communication and friendship between the opposite sex based on sex education, and alleviate sexual stress in appropriate ways. If the addiction phenomenon is severe, you should seek help from a professional psychologist.
