Internet sex causes depression
PEOPLE WHO visit online sex sites have "alarmingly high" rates of depression, anxiety and stress, according to boffins.
The research, conducted by the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, discovered that punters who seek out cyber sex waste hours a day on the 'hobby'.
This is because the people searching for online sexual thrills are overwhelmingly male and the quest for a female who will engage in the practice is a bit like searching for the holy grail.
Still, the Australian research also revealed that people involved in cyber sex were well-eductated, which is nice to know because it takes a university doctorate to write the phrase "wot r u wearing?" one handed.
Most spend more than 12 hours on the sites each week mostly chatting, participating in cyber sex with webcams, downloading video and images, or sending erotic emails.
More than 65 percent of the 1,325 American and Australian men surveyed said they had met someone off line that they had first encountered online.
Marcus Squirrell, a doctoral student at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, said what concerned the boffins was the high rate of poor mental health among the sample group. Sounds like Squirrell is obsessed with nuts to us.
More than 27 percent of them were moderate to severely depressed on the standard scales.
Another 30 percent had high levels of anxiety and 35 per cent were moderately to severely stressed.
Apparently the more they engaged in online sexual activity, the higher their level of depression and anxiety was. No statistic was gathered on failing eyesight, or mouse and keyboard replacement. µ

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.

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.
"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?
People who have "alarmingly high" rates of depression, anxiety and stress visit online sex sites, according to me.
or more likely, instead of solving the problem, it is made worse by retreating to a fantasy existance.
It seems that the linked article has been removed from the link given.

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

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. =)
Touche`!

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