To Catch a Sub - 004

... the internet suddenly exploded and became so pervasive. There has been a lot of research into this phenomenon in the last 10 or 12 years."

Peter looked at his notes before continuing.

"It usually starts quite innocently. It starts with simply browsing the internet and the discovery of porn sites. Interest in these sites seems to grow gradually, but snowballs at an almost insatiable rate. We see this more in men that we do in women, but it is not that rare in women either. In men the vast majority of those with the problem gravitate to what I call normal porn. Graphic images of women. Some men focus on lingerie style pornography, some on body shape, and some on nationalities. However, there is a small percentage of both men and women who gravitate to the more extreme types of pornography. This can include bondage, discipline, sadomasochistic activities, and fetish activity of a wide variety. What we do see is that those who have a proclivity to these more radical types of pornography seem to react quicker and more strongly.

It becomes an actual addiction. They are driven psychologically to feed the addiction on a regular basis. We also see that the levels of escalation are more dramatic in those addicted to the extreme sorts of pornography.

"Are you saying she hasn't cheated yet, but she eventually will?"

Peter took a deep breath.

"It depends on how you consider cheating. Some experts argue that when she becomes addicted to the porn, she is already cheating. Some set the line when she starts to talk to other people either on the phone or through emails or chats. In the current legal view, cheating doesn't happen until she consummates a sexual physical act with another person. You have to decide for yourself where you want to draw this line."

Anthony nodded.

"Ok. Go on."

Peter referred back to his notes before he began speaking again.

"In my opinion, Sasha has stepped over into the next level. She has begun using the computer in the chatroom to talk to at least one other person. It is a subtle difference, but we often see a quick increase in the addiction after this point."

Mark broke in and spoke to Anthony.

"That's ...
