INTERNET CHOICES
There are many commercial markets that exploit young people's ignorance and innocence in their search for identity and well-being. 

'ALICE'-HER BOYFRIEND CHANGED "I thought Internet pornography was just a bit of fun until I realised how it affected my boy-friend. He wanted to try all sorts of things that I didn't like and he got so angry when I finally had the courage to say I didn't want it. I feel I don't know him anymore. He's always moody and doesn't want to talk. I'll have to break it off with him -"

Since the introduction of the Internet, pornography has been made accessible to almost everyone. People may be inclined to believe that because of easy access the consequences are less serious. Why not enjoy the sexual arousal and the sense of power and adulthood that accompanies it?

'EILISH'-WHY SHE GOT SCARED"I only went on this chat-line once. I was just messing, really, then I received emails from this man with all sorts of offers and suggestions and they kept coming. It scared me how he could send me email without me giving him my email address. I mailed him not to send it to me but he kept doing it for ages. I didn't know what to do. He said things like ‘you know you want it'. I couldn't tell my dad, he'd kill me and my mother would freak out. Then he told me all the things I could buy to satisfy myself. I got scared and I started to dump the e-mails without reading them.
I've taken a new e-mail address now. But I wonder can he trace me? Sometimes I feel men looking at me and I wonder is he one of them. I just want to warn everybody to be careful when contacting people and businesses on the net."

Deep down most people who become involved with Internet porn know what might have started as curiosity little by little develops into a very selfish world where you can get instant pleasure without the bother of getting involved with another human being who has feelings, opinions and needs. It becomes an escape from living in the real world. A way of experiencing strong sexual arousal and satisfaction but without the spiritual and emotional fulfilment of love.
