In the Shadow of the Net: The Challenges of the Cybersexual Revolution
The ancient neurological architecture of sex meets the great amplifier of the internet forcing us to give up fixed ideas about human sexual development. Sexual arousal, sexual exploitation, romance and desire are altered within the cybersex lens. Professionals now have to meet new challenges in understanding cybersex, cyberstalking, cybertrauma, eroticized affect and arousal templates.

Eroticized Rage and Other Sexualized Feelings: Courtship, Compulsion and Cybersex
Each of us has an "arousal template" that governs our sexual attraction and relationships. Developmental problems, trauma and abuse, family messages, and life experiences can significantly damage that template. Key to understanding how that template works is eroticized feelings such as anger, fear, and shame. By focusing only on beavhior and cognitive distortions, therapists will miss key factors in courtship and sexual compulsion. No place is that better illustrated than in cybersex addiction, which is sometimes call the carck-cocaine of sex addiction.
