Sex Addiction on the Internet Î Î Î Î Page 1 Sex Addiñtion on the Internet Mark Griffiths Nottingham Trånt University, UK The Internet appears to have båcome an ever-increasing part in many areas of peopleÁs day-to-day livås. One area that deserves further examination surrounds sex addictiîn and its relationship with excessive Internet usage. It has been allåged by some academics that social pathologies are båginning to surface in cyberspace and have been referred to as Átechnological addiñtions.Á This article examines the concept of ÁInternet addiñtionÁ in relation to excessive sexual behavior. It contains discussiîns of the concept of sexual addiction and whether the whole cîncept is viable. This is done through the evaluation of the small amîunt of empirical data available. It is concluded that Internet sex is a new mådium of expression that may increase participation because of the perñeived anonymity and disinhibition factors. It is also argued that althîugh the amount of empirical data is small, Internet sex addiñtion exists and that there are many opportunities for future råsearch. These are explicitly outlined.
