From blogs.telegraph.co.uk:

Second Life The danger here is that “lads”, at a formative age, aren’t getting a real experience of young women (nor are they getting an experience of real young women). They are entering a virtual sexual world. This is, of course, the nature of fantasy, but so long as there were only soft-porn, top-shelf mags, adolescent boys might be made sufficiently curious to go and find out what a real girl is like, as it were, in the flesh.

The trouble with on-line porn is that it invites the viewer in, rather than to look beyond it. Any parent who has watched how a teenager can become hooked to computer-screen life will know what I mean. They go to their room and start to experience life almost exclusively through their PC, rather than out into the street and in person.

It’s like the avatar games on-line, such as Second Life, which have reportedly caused divorce as a consequence of on-line infidelity. If you start to live a marriage in virtual reality, the real one withers. Put your sex life on-line and the same happens.
