In North America alone, more than 8 million people pursue sex online at least 11 hours a week. The internet has actually removed touch and human contact from sex. This film profiles people who find virtual encounters more liberating and exciting than encounters with "real" people. Nicole, a divorced 35-year old, lost her job and seeks entertainment in an adult chat room. She begins to spend more and more time there, seeking thrills and validation in cyberspace. "It s all about being raunchy and kinky because it is anonymous" she says. Alan, 56 and a successful lawyer, kept his obsession for pornography in check until his office connected him to the internet. He quickly became obsessed with orgasms online. "It just wreaked havoc with my working life, " says Alan. He started living entirely in the secret virtual world and was unable to work effectively. Eventually he sought help from an addiction clinic. The film introduces Dr Sylvain Bones who is publishing a major study on the online sexual behavior of university students. Several therapists are heard from, including Richard Davis, one of the first to research the pathological internet use. There is a strong lobby among psychologists to give cybersex addiction recognition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of mental disorders. This is a unique resource for classes in psychology, human sexuality and sociology. 001356125 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356125 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001356125 586__ $$aMontreal World Festival, 2005 001356125 586__ $$aPlatinum Award, Annual World Fest-Houston 2005 001356125 586__ $$aWestern Psychological Association Film Festival, 2006 001356125 650_0 $$aComputer sex. 001356125 650_0 $$aSex addiction. 001356125 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001356125 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747798427 001356125 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1650457 001356125 901__ $$aASP1650457/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25289$$tbiblio 001356125 905__ $$uadmin 001356125 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356125$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356125 944__ $$a1785089 001356125 945__ $$aThe Whole World$$cMalaysia 001356125 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356125 980__ $$aBIB 001356125 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356125 983__ $$aOnline
