Internet pornography usage among today's adolescents: Clinical implications, assessment, and management

Abstract

The youth of today is hooked to the Internet via various devices exploring a plethora of agencies, mostly in an unsupervised manner. The growing, inquisitive mind and body of adolescents pave an easy way of exposure to sexually explicit material on the internet. Traditionally, such acts are looked down upon and usually stigmatized in our society. This article purports to look into recent literature
regarding the effect of Internet pornography on adolescents' sexual attitudes, behaviors, underlying neurobiological implications, and provide an overview of clinical assessment and current understandings about the management of this problematic behavior.
