One Man's Brief Story...

Cybersex is one of the fastest growing addictions in the US today.  It can capture anyone at anytime.  Here is a brief video clip that exemplifies how anyone can be snagged by the net.

Notice how the man in the clip talks about having a video monitor in his office that faces away from the door.

If you think you have a problem with cybersex, one easy thing you can do to assist yourself in stopping is to turn your video monitor so that it faces your office door.  If your monitor is at home put it in a common space that your entire family uses so that you are visable when on the computer. 

You can also download or buy content monitors that are easy to install.  Have a friend install it so you don't have access to the password.  These small tips can be the beginning of your recovery from cybersex addiction.
