A SHORT TIME, TOO MUCH PORNOGRAPHY AND VIRTUALITY DAMAGE SEX - LOVE-E-PSYCHOLOGY

The fast-paced, connected life kills sex

It has witnessed major sexual revolutions and breakthroughs, from the legalization of the contraceptive pill, to the AIDS epidemic and the explosion of online sex.

We are talking about Dr. Shirley Zussman who has been a sex therapist for 50 years and still practices in New York today, at the age of 100. His point of view on what are the major causes of problems and disorders related to the sexual sphere today is interesting.

Even online pornography can be harmful, according to Zussman, who does not criticize it as such, on the contrary, she believes that it can help develop the fantasy under the sheets, but argues that for many it becomes the only way to have sex, canceling the desire to know real partners in flesh and blood.

But most of all, what "scares" the doctor is the excessive use we make of smartphones and computers even outside the office. A use that leads us to greatly limit contact with other people: we no longer look at each other, we do not touch each other, we talk less and we rarely hug each other. And all this is the antechamber for the development of problems related to the social and sexual sphere.

Less virtuality, therefore, and more real contacts!
