Over the period of twentieth
century, America has undergone a cultural revision and so has its traditional
values and attitudes towards sex. This is clearly vindicated through the
openness and various forms of discussions carried out at all levels. No longer
do we face any intricacy while discussing sex whereas a hundred years ago,
“polite” people never used to talk about it. Nowadays, all mediums of
communication explicitly display sexual content in different forms.

With this changing world comes a widely
prevalent real-time sex activity conducted amongst several Internet users
around the world, “The Cybersex,” where two people remotely connect
for the purpose of sexual pleasure. For some cybersex users, this provides a
fascinating experience over the Internet whereas for some, it has become an
addiction.

Part 2

Before the twentieth century,
sexuality was considered as a very private and highly judged subject. Religious
leaders considered it as a moral issue but now, this presumption has undergone
a huge change. Scientists have started viewing sexuality with their lenses,
focusing mainly on the study and bifurcation of unusual and abnormal sexual
behaviors. It was much later that they started studying the healthy human
sexual functions. While the Internet serves as a medium for providing education
and information, it is also a platform for sexual discussions and materials. It
is after the huge volume of sexual material available on the Internet that the
demands for government regulation increased and in 1996, the US Congress passed
the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA). The usage of computer networks
for the purpose of transmitting obscene materials or images or placing indecent
words was then made illegal as children might read or see them. But there still
exists many websites that are dedicated to educate people about sexual safety
and health.
