İnternet ve cinsellik

İnternet günlük hayatımızda sık kullandığımız bir araç olup çoğu insan tarafından cinsel aktiviteler için kullanılan bir ortam haline gelmiştir. İnternetin günlük hayatımızda popülerliği cinsellik üzerinde de birtakım değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Cinsel içerikli sitelere erişimlerin maliyetinin az olması, cinsel fantezilerin internette daha kolay dile getirilmesi bu popülerliği giderek daha da arttırmaktadır. İnternette pornografi kullanımı, çevrimiçi cinsel ilişki ve mastürbasyon amaçlı olmakla birlikte internetteki seks mağazalarıyla yeni bir ortam yaratılmıştır. Pornografinin yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte ergen gelişimi de etkilenmiş, adölesanların erken yaşta cinsel ilişkiye girme olasılığını arttırmıştır. İnternet tabanlı cinsel eğitim web sitelerinin az veya kullanılmaması nedeniyle yanlış cinsellik öğrenilmektedir. İnternetin kullanımıyla geniş kitlelere uygun maliyetli eğitim verilip cinsel sağlık iyileştirilebilir. İnternet doğal cinselliğin çeşitliliğini etkilemiş, kullanıcılara tek tip cinselliği benimsetmiştir. Ancak internetin gey ve biseksüel erkeklerin cinselliklerini keşfetmelerinde veya cinsel kimliklerinin ortaya çıkmasına da yardımcı olmaktadır. İnternetin cinselliğe etkisinin avantajlarının yanı sıra dezavantajları da tartışma konusudur.

Internet and Sexuality

The Internet is a tool we use frequently in our daily lives and has become an environment used by most people for sexual activities. The popularity of the Internet in our daily lives has also led to changes in sexuality. The low cost of access to sites with sexual content, and the ability to express sexual fantasies on the Internet more popularly increases this popularity. The use of pornography on the Internet is intended for online sexual intercourse and masturbation, but a new environment has been created with sex shops on the Internet. With the widespread use of pornography, adolescent development has also been affected and increased the likelihood of adolescents having sexual intercourse at an early age. False sexuality is learned because of little or no use of internet-based sexual education websites. With the use of the Internet, cost-effective education can be provided to large audiences and sexual health can be improved. The Internet has influenced the diversity of natural sexuality and has made users adopt uniform sexuality. However, it also helps the gay and bisexual men discover their sexuality or reveal their sexual identity. The advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as well as the sexuality are discussed.
