it could be either ways

it is accurate just as the topic says that internet sex causes depression and so also is the fact that depression leads to internet sex. So plzz read topics that are used in arguments before trying to disrupt a person's argument.

He's just writing frm one point of view and its most likey that if he discussed this topic from another point of view ,he'll also agree that depression lead to internet sex.

who's the stupid one "blub"?

Actually Blub, the quote you are upset about does not imply causation. Actually nothing in this article does besides the title and that is presumable attributable to the author of THIS article. There is quite an irony in calling others stupid when you're the one making the mistake for all the world to see.

unbelievable

"Apparently the more they engaged in online sexual activity, the higher their level of depression and anxiety was."

How dumb are those who conducted the survey that they don't realize it's exactly the other way round?

Alternately...

People who have "alarmingly high" rates of depression, anxiety and stress visit online sex sites, according to me.

Self induced misery

or more likely, instead of solving the problem, it is made worse by retreating to a fantasy existance.

Attack of the industry

It seems that the linked article has been removed from the link given.

I'll add one that I use as a reference:

It's the other way around...

D'oh! It's depression that leads these people to internet sex sites in the first place. I know this, because I'm depressed from boredom and have to fap it three times a day, while surfing these same sites. =)

Would it not be

more accurate to say that people who are depressed and anxious are more likely to go looking for internet chatrooms?

well, fsck me

Write this 100 times: "correlation is not causation"

And to state the bleedin obvious. Sex is good for your emotional health. Lack of sex causes depression. What do you do when you're depressed and sex starved? Yep.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
