Is facebook ruining your sex life?

Facebook is by far the most popular social networking portal on the internet, of that there is no doubt, and surely a “social networking” site should bring people closer together and reward the members with a more fulfilling life, but due to research there seems to be something under the radar that can affect people more than they realise.

Each and everyday millions of people log on and hope in vain that they have that all awaited number perched happily above their messages to say that somebody has sent them a mail, this for anybody is a great feeling to know that somebody has reached out and wants to speak to us. In many cases it is a friend who wants to pass the time of day or send us some exciting news they want to share. Or it may be a new person who we have never spoke to us before and wants to make a new friend.

So how does that affect the sex life?
In days gone by before the internet became so popular and most of the world rushed home to log on, most people socialised by phoning up a friend, going to the local bar and catching up. Being in the social circle and actually speaking to people was a great way to form new friendship and possibly even a relationship.
It is true that facebook gives us a fantastic opportunity to meet ne people online and chat to find if there is any connection and then meet up, but is this not where the glitch appears??

With the increasing social pressure of looking the right way and wearing the right clothes, the media can bombard and confuse many people into feeling rejectable and below standard and in many cases without them even realising it.
Social media such as facebook can give any member carrying that fear of rejection a fantastic place to hide from observing eyes whilst still feeling like they are connecting with the outside world.

For single people with a fear of rejection this can be fatal, with thousands of people all over the world online at any moment in time it is possible to strike up a conversation with somebody they like the look of at any point 24 hours a day and the image that the other person can portray online may be more of a fantasy than actual reality. The reason this can be fatal is the hopes and dreams of the facebook addict can continually inspired with person after person after person leading to endless conversations day after day month after month and so on, leaving the person sat crouched over the monitor hoping that “the next” will be the one but continually being left in the dark.
If any of the socialites want to feel empowered it is very easy to say the right thing to make the other person think they are desired in everyway, but is the other person just after control? What is said behind a computer may be a far cry from reality. This endless drug and fantasy of being desired can fulfil the feeling and hopes but in reality leaves a person very lonely both physically and mentally and emotionally. If the only relationship a person has is with a few words which appear on the monitor rather than with an actual person exactly what exactly is this doing to the sex life and or any other life for that matter?
Balance is the key, don’t get caught!
