Youth and Cybersexuality : A destructive practice

Technological evolution with the advent of smartphones (smartphones) and easier access to digital technology provides seamless access to cybersexuality, which is nothing other than a set of sexual practices disclosed on social networks or on the internet.. It is not without consequences for adolescents who indulge in it.

Connected all day long, many young people spend most of their time on cybersexual sites. For some of them, priority is given to exchanges in pornographic discussion groups. In an interview given to a local radio, the psychologist, Rev Prudence Djodo indicates that “cybersexuality involves two camps : the camp of the victims and that of the instigators”. For the latter, the reasons that can lead young people to this practice are numerous but the most recognized remain addiction to pornography or sexual addictions.. He nevertheless notes that solitude and celibacy are significant reasons for this practice..

For K. Christine specialist in sex education training, cybersexuality is a drama against teenagers. “In addition to sexual addiction, this too is due to followership and the desire to discover what is there. Some adolescents looking for information on sexuality find it easier to go to cybersexuality sites to learn which is not often the best solution”, she laments.

This practice is not without impact on the adolescent who engages in it and faced with this, young people must show more responsibility as Rev Prudence Djodo points out: “We must end addictions and heal. Faced with this scourge, young people have a duty to be very vigilant. Because nothing should lead them towards the instigators of such practices. The best solution is to avoid nude photos from anyone online., he advised.
