Cybersex Addiction: A Study on Spanish College Students

2016

The aim of this study was to determine type and frequency of online sexual practices among Spanish college students, prevalence of risk and pathological cybersex use profiles, and correlates/predictors of this behaviour. Participants were 1,557 males and females between 18 and 25 years old. Results showed that cybersex use is not as frequent as that documented in other Western countries. However, a significant percentage of participants with a risky (9%) or pathological (1.7% in men and 0.1% in women) profile was identified. Finally, we found a set of variables that, in interaction with gender, explains 58% of the variance for cybersex addiction scores.

Relationship Status as an Influence on Cybersex Activity: Cybersex, Youth, and Steady Partner

2013

The authors focus on the influence of participants' having or not having a steady partner when reference to cybersex use. Participants were 1,239 young, Spanish individuals who completed the Internet Sex Screening Test. Results showed the influence of being in a relationship on certain consumption dimensions of cybersex; the influence was found to be greater in men than in women. In general, cybersex activity was higher for single participants, although it was also significant for participants with a steady partner. The authors' findings facilitate the comprehension of the effect of new technologies in intimate human relationships.

Motivos para el consumo de cibersexo y su relación con el grado de severidad

2018

La práctica del cibersexo es un comportamiento frecuente que puede desembocar en un patrón de consumo compulsivo, incontrolado y asociado a un deterioro funcional en diversos ámbitos (adicción al cibersexo). Por tanto, conocer los motivos que explicarían que una persona realice esta conducta (de modo recreativo o patológico) es prioritario. Así, este trabajo se plantea el objetivo de analizar la prevalencia de distintos motivos para el consumo de cibersexo, las diferencias en función del género y el vínculo entre estos motivos y los síntomas de consumo problemático. Tomando una muestra de 400 jóvenes (50% hombres) de entre 18-30 años (M=22.2), se constata que las motivaciones más frecuentes…

Adicción al cibersexo en función de la orientación sexual: prevalencia y predictores

2020

El cibersexo, una práctica sexual generalizada en la sociedad, puede entrañar ciertos beneficios, aunque también conlleva riesgos (como desarrollar una adicción). Dado que el colectivo LGTBI (Lesbianas, gays, transexuales, bisexuales e intersexuales) lo consume más frecuentemente, el riesgo de adicción también podría ser mayor. Este estudio pretende analizar si la orientación sexual aumentaba el riesgo de consumo adictivo de cibersexo, y si la preferencia por determinadas Actividades Sexuales Online (ASOs) y las motivaciones para su realización explicaban este incremento. A tal fin, 553 personas de entre 18-40 años (54.2% hombres; 36.2% heterosexuales, 36.2% bisexuales, 27.7% homosexuales) …

Problematic internet use prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic

2021

The health and socio-economic challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have led to greater reliance on the internet to meet basic needs and responsibilities. Greater engagement in online activities may have negative mental and physical health consequences for some vulnerable individuals, particularly under mandatory self-isolation or ‘lockdown’ conditions. The present study investigated whether changes in levels of involvement in online activities during the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., watching TV series,online sexual activities, video games, social networks, gambling, online shopping, and instant messaging) were associated with problematic internet use, as well as whether certain psychol…

Cybersex in the “Net generation”: Online sexual activities among Spanish adolescents

2016

The internet offers several opportunities to explore sexuality among adolescents. However, some studies have also revealed problematic effects of cybersex in earlier stages. Despite this, few studies analyze the online sexual behavior among adolescents, even less in Spain where there is very little data. For this reason, our aim is to examine the use of internet for sexual purposes among Spanish adolescents, including gender differences. Three hundred and twenty-two adolescents completed an ad-hoc questionnaire and the Spanish version of the Internet Sex Screening Test. In general, boys report more cybersex than girls do, for example, in masturbating while the Internet (60.6% of boys and 7.…

Reacción emocional ante la exposición involuntaria a cibersexo en adolescentes: factores moduladores

2019

Los avances realizados durante los últimos años en el ámbito de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación han favorecido un uso generalizado de internet. La población adolescente utiliza Internet de forma natural y habitual para comunicarse, entretenerse y realizar tareas escolares. Si bien son múltiples los beneficios derivados del uso de internet, es necesario considerar que no está exento de riesgos como puede ser la exposición involuntaria (EI) a material sexual. Dadas las consecuencias que dicha exposición puede tener (sobre todo en edades tempranas), nuestro objetivo ha sido analizar las principales reacciones a nivel emocional durante la EI a material sexual, explorando posibl…

Análisis de la bondad de múltiples indicadores para el diagnóstico de la adicción al cibersexo

2021

El uso de Internet con propósitos sexuales (p.e., visionado de pornografía o contacto sexual mediante chat o cámara web) resulta una práctica cada vez más generalizada. Si bien en la mayoría de los casos se realiza de forma recreativa, en algunas ocasiones puede sobrevenir compulsivo, incontrolado y asociado a deterioro funcional en varios ámbitos (adicción al cibersexo). Las escalas de las que disponemos para su diagnóstico se han visto limitadas a la hora de identificar estos pacientes debido a que algunos indicadores diagnósticos han perdido especificidad: por ejemplo, el tiempo online con fines sexuales parece no discriminar usuarios problemáticos debido al uso cada vez más intensivo de…

Signos y síntomas de adicción al cibersexo en adultos mayores

2019

El uso de Internet con objetivos sexuales resulta una práctica cada vez más generalizada en cualquier etapa vital. Si bien en la mayoría de casos el consumo se realiza de forma recreativa, en ocasiones éste puede sobrevenir compulsivo, incontrolado y asociado a un deterioro funcional en diversos ámbitos (adicción al cibersexo). Conocer los síntomas que caracterizan este cuadro clínico constituye una prioridad; sin embargo, disponemos de un pobre conocimiento acerca de su expresión en adultos mayores. Así, este trabajo se planteó con un doble objetivo: 1) analizar la prevalencia de adultos mayores en riesgo de desarrollar o que muestran un perfil patológico de uso del cibersexo y 2) elaborar…
