LMAO, I came across this video but I hesitated to post here. Then after a few days I came across a related article and its now timely to post both.

Here is the video:

This is the article:

A Seattle-based internet addiction specialist has revealed how computer and MMO addiction can cause serious 'intimacy disorders' in young men, who only handle their sexuality with online pornography.
Dr Hilarie Cash set up Heavensfield rehab unit in Seattle last September, the first in-patient internet addiction clinic of its kind outside of the Far East.

I'm going to make a guess based on what we are learning in Psychology atm (we're studying addictions). People who are addicted to one thing tend to symptom subsitute so when they get over one addiction they develop another. So I'm guessing that men who are addicted to gaming are then symptom subsituting it when internet porn.

The common example of symptom substituting is people with gambling problems normally develop shopping addictions.

I can happily say i have a gaming addiction, but that has never stopped me being intimate with anyone. I'm not sure of the validity of this... well.. exposé shall we call it. and the in-out rehab clinic... thats for internet addiction. Not GAMING addiction, as more than 80% of console games (as this was spawned by a PS3 being totaled) are not ONLINE only...

also, directed to Peter;

i dont think you missed anything, like kelvin070 said:
