Canadian cybersex study

Toronto-based dating site CampusKiss.com conducted a nationwide survey that found 87% of Canadian college and university students "admit to having virtual sex over IM, Webcams, or the telephone," Christian news site AgapePress.org reports. The article quotes Donna Rice-Hughes, president of online-safety organization Enough is Enough, as pointing out that a high level of exposure to virtual sex isn't just happening at the college level and certainly isn't just about exploitation by adults. "As an example she notes that in statistics provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, one of the largest categories of online perpetrators who were soliciting sex from other minors were minor children themselves." For a psychiatrist's survey of the latest research see "Online sex & child protection" in my 3/10 issue.
