The Teenage Cyber Culture: The Future Addicts of Tomorrow? The key ingredients are there! Early exposure to pornography, a 50% to 60% divorce rate, wounds from relationships to fathers, abandonment, exposure to a sexualized culture...to name of few. There couldn’t be a better set up for the teenage culture of today to be faced with a major increase in future sex addictions, online affairs, cyber sex addiction, love addiction, pornography addiction. What will this teenage culture do to cope as adults, who have been conditioned to cope with emotional pain through these means? What impact will this have on the divorce rate? Will the typical teen be able to even commit to a one on one relationship with a spouse when they have been conditioned through technology via cell phones, internet chat, cyber sex etc?

“I have already seen in counseling young couples, the impact that conditioning of technology has had on their ability to primarily commit to one person. There is a “watering down effect” of the ability to be in relationship with one person as a result of the cell phone, internet chat rooms, instant messaging and history of cyber sex. In addition, addictions to primarily pornography have now become the norm of the baggage that often the man brings into the relationship. It’s like it is no big deal anymore and “what’s a girl to expect?” by Greg Hasek |
