The Internet has changed our lives in a wide variety of ways. It allows us to connect with people all over the world, and to get information rapidly and easily. It also makes porn easily available, and provides a way to have a form of sex with a fantasy partner.
One of the challenges of committed sexual relationship is that one’s partner is also a flawed human being. Cybersex allows us to imagine a perfect partner who we never have to meet at breakfast. It is highly addictive, and some people find themselves spending hour upon hour sitting in front of the computer enjoying a fantasy sex life. At first it seems harmless enough, after all, it isn’t real sex. But it can become so engrossing that it takes up more and more time and begins to have a major impact on the rest of one’s life, not least the ability to have mature loving real-life relationships. Because of its accessibility, affordability and anonymity Jill describes cybersex as the crack-cocaine of behavioral addictions.
Jill works with those who have gotten caught in the web to find ways of having more satisfying real-life sex and to repair relationships damaged by cybersex.
