Technology has significantly changed our world. Sexual imagery
and encounters can now be accessed anywhere, anytime, using
portable electronic devices. Users can generate a stream of graphic
pornography, a wide variety of virtual sexual activities, and
casual, anonymous, or paid-for sexual encounters with a click or a
tap. Simply put, we have greater access to highly stimulating
sexual content, and potential sexual partners, with much less
built-in accountability. Porn addicts are especially vulnerable to
the lure of digital technology and the seemingly endless array of
stimulation it provides. Research suggests that cyber-porn addicts
spend at least eleven or twelve hours per week online viewing
porn.
Today, all forms of sex addiction are technology driven--from
porn websites to webcams to casual sex hook-up apps found on
smartphones. Sex addicts organize their lives around the pursuit of
sexual activity with self or others, spending inordinate amounts of
time viewing and masturbating to porn or planning, pursuing, and
engaging in sex acts. At the same time, they neglect important
relationships, work, and personal responsibilities. Overwhelming
feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse invade when the acting out
ends.
While it's complicated, recovery is possible. "Always Turned On"
shows readers how to turn those temptations off while providing
practical long-term solutions for recovery.
