Addicted To Cyber-Sex? Survery and Help(if you need it)

In my cyber surfing I came upon this nifty little survey and while it is Not for entertainment purposes like many i know there are some folks , even here in blogsterville, who may be able to contribute to it and or find help.  This is not to say that everyone one who has cyber sex is porn addicted or that every person who is cyber sex addicted needs or wants help but that someone who is quite content in their cyber sex  addiction or pass time might be able to help someone who is not happy.  Just a thought to share…….holly

Below is information and a link!

Study description
I am a doctoral psychology student from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia conducting an anonymous online study which looks at the psychology of using the Internet for Cybersex purposes such as using adult chat-rooms and downloading erotic images. The study is part of the requirements for my doctoral degree.

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire, which involves clicking boxes in response to questions. The questionnaire also includes a series of questions regarding your gender, age and education. The questionnaire takes approximately 15-minutes to complete. To participate in the study, I require that you have previously used the Internet for a sexual purpose.

You are not required to record your name or email address on the questionnaire, or any information that may identify you. Therefore you cannot be identified.
