Virtual Vs Real-Life

Can online sex be as hot as real-life sex? Yes, and in some cases it can even be hotter…

Virtual Vs Real-Life

The Internet has become such a playground for fantasy, role play and self-gratification that it’s often said to be largely about porn over anything else. Covenant Eyes, a software company that creates security software for parents to protect their children whilst surfing online, claims porn is inescapable. According to their report, there were more than two billion Internet searches for porn in 2015. They claim that 20 percent of mobile-device searches are for porn alone and that 90 per cent of boys and 60 percent of girls are exposed to Internet porn by age 18.

The report goes on to say that 56 percent of divorces involve one spouse having an obsessive interest in online porn. So, yes, there is porn online but no it’s not a simple case of good, bad or indifferent. Using the Internet to aid sex in a positive and healthy way isn’t an easy affair. Sex is big business. Almost any niche, fantasy or scenario can be lived out, viewed, even participated in — online. Some of this is legal and consensual, healthy visual aids to be used when and wherever required both in and out of relationships. Some of it is not!

There is a dark side to the Internet, as we all know — sites and businesses that operate outside of Google and on the Dark web which we won’t explore here. Instead what this column will focus on are areas that could spice up your sex life; something that will add to your life rather than take over it and something that will promote a healthy sense of self, if used correctly.

The swift progression of new technologies is expected to catapult our sex lives to dizzying new heights. As our digital lives and personal lives become inextricably woven, the future of dating and sex will be changed indefinitely.
