Australian research is shedding new light on the types of people who frequent online sex, fetish and swinging sites, revealing they are overwhelmingly male, well-educated, and aged anywhere from 18 to 80. They spend an average of just over 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 per cent of the 1325 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 the study, to be presented at a major psychology conference tomorrow, was the first to paint a full picture of cyber sex surfers. Most concerning was the high rate of poor mental health among the sample group. "We found that 27 per cent of them were moderate to severely depressed on the standard depression scales," Mr Squirrell said. "Thirty per cent had high levels of anxiety and 35 per cent were moderately to severely stressed, which is of course extremely high." The more heavily they engaged in online sexual activity the higher their level of depression and anxiety was, he said. Mr Squirrell said it was possible these rates were high because the men were spending so much time online and not engaging with people socially. "But there's also a chance that depressed people are spending time on these sites to help lift their mood or reduce stress." Professor Ann Knowles, who supervised the research, said the findings were clinically relevant because more Australians were seeking counselling for these types of problems. "If we get a picture of who is over-using these sites then we're better equipped to identify and help them." AAP
September 26, 200816 yr I think it isn't a direct cause of the depression at all. I think that the needs behind the cyber sex are causing the depression. If you are having such a hard time finding a chick that you are forced to resort to masturbating while sitting in front of your computer typing messages to people, then of course you are going to be despressed. The solution is quite simple. Every other day do 150 push-ups.(do as many sets as it takes, but make sure you have done all 150 before going to sleep.) Everyday, do as many crunches as you can. When watching TV, every time the advertisements come on, jump down to the floor and do crunches/push-ups until your show is back on. On the alternate days that you are not doing push-ups, do as many pull-ups as you can. Then at the end of the day take the number of pull-ups you did before, divide by 2 and then add 2, and do that many.(if you need to, bend your knees so your feet are up behind you, and have a buddy hold them so you can push down with your legs to help you get all of them done.) Run every other day. It doesn't take much, just do a couple of miles. Then once a week push yourself hard and do a 5 to 7 mile run, or do a swimming day.(swimming can be substituted for any run day to help mix things up and keep it fun.) Then go to the store and buy some good mouthwash.(no chicks like nasty breath. Also buy a good razor and shave EVERY DAY. Then buy yourself some new shoes and learn to KEEP THEM CLEAN. Then buy yourself some nice shirts and trousers. Then get yourself a haircut, and get one AT LEAST every other week. I get mine once a week.(I know a guy that gets his down 3 times a week.) Then save up some money, and buy a decent car. It doesn't have to be a super nice sports car, but no chicks dig being driven around in a bucket. Also KEEP IT CLEAN. Wash it a minimum of once a week. Then go out, and find chicks to talk to. Cuties like knowing that they are cuties. Let them know by giving them some attention, talking to them every chance you get, and listening to them. If you follow by above plans, you WILL PULL CHICKS. No matter how ugly you are, or think you are, if you put the effort into my plan you will find a girl that thinks are you cute and good boyfriend material. Think I'm full of it? Give my plan a try for a few months and see. What do you have to lose? You will be in good shape, look better, and feel better about yourself. If you are willing to put in the effort to do what I listed, you will find a chick. I guarentee it. I do not understand how people can have such trouble getting girls. Even ugly dudes can look like, and be, great boyfriend material. You just need to show that you take care of yourself and your belongings extremely well. Pussy will follow. And TADA! depression = gone. No more need to cyber-sex. Stay Classy.

I have a friend that is rather large....excessively so...and I have seen him score with girls that are so far out of his league that even myself and our other friends were amazed. And I have learned that despite looks...as long as you don't smell...any guy can get just about any girl(given that she's not one of those self involved cunts that you shouldn't want to be with anyway). All it takes, is confidence in yourself. As well as a bit of smooth talking. Its a mix of being cocky, but not too cocky and at the same time nice/polite...make a girl feel good about herself and you can't really go wrong.
September 26, 200816 yr ^^^ Excellent point that I forgot to mention. So many people self-defeat themselves. I am currently working as a recruiter's assistant until my shit goes through officially in Dec. So many of our poolees start bitching when we even mention what we are going to be doing for PT. They defeat themselves mentally before they even start. That kind of attitude will hurt you so much in everything you do in life. You have lost the battle before you even start because of that "I can't do that" attitude. The same thing goes for pulling chicks. Personally I am not one for the cocky behavior.(although I too have seen it work.) But confidence in yourself is essential in everything you do in life. If you see a cutie and think to yourself "she is out of my league", then you have already lost. Even if it turns out that it is something you can't do, if you go into it thinking "I can't do this" then you have already lost and there is no way you will be able to do it. In every situation in your life, go into it thinking "I've got this down. I can do it!" Give 100% in everything you do in life(including getting chicks). There is no such thing as giving 110%. You either do it, or you don't. If you start off with a self-defeating attitude, then of course you will never be able to do it. Stay Classy.
