KOMMENTAAR: In 'n kruis-dissiplinêre opname van studente (ouderdom 23), 10.3% behaal in die kliniese reeks vir kubekseksverslawing (19% van die mense en 4% van die vroue). Dit is belangrik om daarop te let hierdie opname het nie sy deelnemers aan porngebruikers beperk nie. (Two other recent studies on rates of porn addiction limited their sample to male subjects who had used porn at least once in the last 3 months (or 6 months). Both those studies reported addiction/problematic porn use rates of ~28%.)

OPSOMMING

With the ubiquity of Internet access in American society comes increased access to sexually explicit materials. Although online sexual behavior is not problematic in and of itself, for some it can become compulsive and addictive. One population that may be at heightened risk for cybersex addiction is the collegiate population. We surveyed 339 students and found that 10.3% scored in the clinical range for cybersex addiction. Further, we found significant gender differences among the clinical and non-clinical range groups as males were more likely to score in the clinical range for cybersex addiction.
