title: On-line sexual addiction: a contemporary enigma.
abstract: On-line computer bulletin boards, although screened for offensive content, have become a breeding ground for sexually related material and erotic-chat networks. Participants can interact individually or in groups (chat rooms) on a host of sexually perverse subjects. Persons afflicted with various erotic predilections via 'cybersex' have recently gained the attention of mental health professionals. The authors report on a 'cybersex' group in treatment for sexual addiction.
