It is time for this site to post some information about the sex addicts online. Many cyberpaths are also sex addicts. Oh, they won't seem like perverts up front. (we have used the male gender. your cyberpath could be female)
They will convince you they are nice guys, lonely guys, misunderstood, needy; that they "LOVE" you (even though they have NEVER met you), that they are religious or spiritual (see article: Lures of the Online Predator; on this site) and then slowly they ask you to 'turn on your webcam,''send me some pictures of your body parts or you naked,"''send me some underwear/ a lock of your hair" and a variety of requests that by the time they make them (i.e. - by the time they have controlled your mind to think only the best of them and to ignore red flags) - seem very innocent and even romantic - but in reality? should send you RUNNING AS FAR AWAY FROM THEM AS POSSIBLE.It is a slow & insidious process of brainwashing and manipulation - so wake up and stay safe. - EOPC

Warning Signs of Cybersexual Addiction:
Routinely spending significant amounts of time in chat rooms and private messaging with the sole purpose of finding cybersex.
Feeling preoccupied with using the Internet to find on-line sexual partners.
Frequently using anonymous communication to engage in sexual fantasies not typically carried out in real-life. (some do turn to escorts/ prostitutes - using online booking & hooker review boards to find real-time sex - some look at reunion sites to find victims and recycle them.)
Anticipating your next on-line session with the expectation that you will find sexual arousal or gratification.
Finding that you frequently move from cybersex to phone sex (or even real-life meetings).
Hiding your on-line interactions from your significant other. (Dunetz/Yidwithlid, Dan Jacoby, Doug Beckstead and John Gash fit this model)
Feeling guilt or shame from your on-line use.
Accidentally being aroused by cybersex at first, and now find that you actively seek it out when you log on-line.
Masturbating while on-line while engaged in erotic or suggestive chat. ( please read the links here: Ed Hicks, Dunetz/ Yidwithlid, Dan Jacoby and Doug Beckstead fit this model)
Less investment with your real-life sexual partner only to prefer cybersex as a primary form of sexual gratification.
Sex addicts often turn to the Internet as a new and "safe" sexual outlet to fulfill their compulsions without the expense of costly 900-lines, the fear of being seen at an adult bookstore, or the fear of disease among prostitutes.
Victims are often left with Persistant Sexual Arousal from the brainwashing & NLP Triggers!

Understanding what makes Cybersex & Online Love addictive.
Sexual compulsivity over the Internet is not just a result of deviant individuals engaged in acting out, but with remarkable speed, the mental health field has witnessed those with no prior criminal or psychiatric history engaged in such behavior online.
The Model of Cybersexual Addiction is used to explain how the Internet creates a cultural climate of permissiveness that actually serves to encourage and validate sexually deviant behavior.
The Model examines the Anonymity of online interactions that serves to increase the likelihood of the behavior, the Convenience of email and chat rooms making it easily available to users, and finally, the Escape from mental tension derived from the experience which serves to reinforce the behavior leading to compulsivity.

Excerpted from an article by By Robert Weiss, LCSW, CAS
Healthy romantic love is a unique experience which can encourage bonding, intimacy and the opportunity to play and explore with that special new person.
Romance, with or without sex, encourages personal growth as each new relationship forces new insights and self knowledge. The beginning stages of a potential love relationship can be intense and exciting. Most people easily relate to that "rush" of first love and romance; the stuff of songs, endless greeting cards and warm memories. Healthy intimacy, however, is characterized by more than romance, intensity and sex. Intimacy evolves over time. Loving relationships develop partially through utilizing those first exhilarating times to begin to build a bridge toward deeper, longer term closeness.
It can be difficult for anyone who is not a love or sex addict to understand how love or sexuality can be exploited or evolve into destructive patterns of addiction and compulsion. Yet for the love and sex addict, romantic love, sexuality and the closeness they offer, are experiences most often filled with pitfalls, anxiety and pain. Living in a sometimes chaotic emotional world of desperation and despair, fearful of being alone or rejected, the love addict endlessly longs for that "special" relationship.
Caught up in the constant search for a partner, the addict's endless intrigue, flirtations, sexual liaisons and affairs, leave a path of destruction and negative consequences in their wake of his or her behavior. Ironically, the love or relationship usually has few options to resolve these painful circumstances except by engaging in even more searching, creating an escalating cycle of desperation and loss. Just when seemingly "safe" in the rush of a new romantic affair or liaison the troubled Love or Sex Addict grows steadily more unhappy, fearful and bored and ends up pushing their partner away or looking outside the relationship for yet another new intensity or "love" experience.
Thus the cycle begins anew.
Unlike the healthy person seeking partnership and sex as a complement to their life, the love and sex addict searches for something outside of themselves (a person, relationship or experience) which will provide them with the emotional and life stability that they themselves lack. Similar to a drug addict or alcoholic, love and sex addicts use their arousing romantic/ sexual experiences in an attempt to "fix" themselves and remain emotionally stable.
When love and sexuality are used as a way to cope, rather than a way to grow and share, partner choice becomes skewed. Compatibility becomes based on "whether or not you will leave me", "how intense our sex life is" or "how I can hook you into staying", rather than on whether you might truly become a peer, friend and companion.
Addictive relationships are characterized over time by unhealthy dependency, guilt and abuse. Love and sex addicts will use seduction, control, guilt and manipulation to attract and hold onto romantic partners. At times, despairing of this cycle of unhappy affairs, broken relationships and sexual liaisons, some love or sex addicts may have "swearing off" periods (like the bulimic/anorexic cycles of overeaters). The addict believes that just "not being in the game" will solve the problem; only to later find the same issues reappearing when they re-engage in any type of potential intimacy.
Typical Signs of Love or Sex Addiction Include:
Constantly seeking a sexual partner, new romance or significant other (trolling online for new partners or having a bunch of them going at the same time)
An inability or difficulty in being alone
Consistently choosing partners who are married, attached, emotionally (or logistically) unavailable
Using sex, seduction and drama/ intrigue to "hook" onto a partner
Using sex or romantic intensity to tolerate difficult experiences or emotions
Missing out on important family, career or social experiences in order to maintain a sexual high or romantic relationship
When in a relationship, being detached or unhappy, when out of a relationship, feeling desperate and alone
Avoiding sex and sexual acting out (being online, seeing prostitutes, etc) for long periods of time to "solve the problem"
Returning to previously unmanageable or painful relationships despite promises to self or others (returning to spouse, significant other after a horrible period of acting out and swearing you will change/get help, etc)
Mistaking sexual experiences and romantic intensity for love
Not everyone who has engaged in one or two of the above has an addiction problem, many people may have their judgment skewed by a difficult person or situation from time to time in their lives. However, when these situations become the norm, lived over and over again in some form or another, the diagnosis can be made. Love and sex addicts who are not in recovery, like any addict, do not learn from their consequences and mistakes. It is only when the pain of these behaviors and situations becomes greater than the pain and challenges of creating change, that recovery begins.
(Love & Sex Addiction doesn't seem like much at first, can be FACILITATED by the internet and will lead the cyberpath to slowly & covertly manipulate the target in a relationship that FOR THE PREDATOR, no matter what they SAY, is about SEX ONLY.
Targets frequently have severe PTSD and PSAS from the relationship. Trauma Counseling is needed quickly for targets. - EOPC)

Douglas Beckstead, current predator of the month is also guilty of committing many of the offences mentioned above. He starts off with the "we have so much in common it is scary" routine. That leads to very long conversations, first online then they progress to the phone. Before you do find out about the wife (way down the line), he comes on all "hot and heavy". Loves to tell you what a "hottie" he thinks you are. He hounds you for photographs and the line he favors is "I think you are really a man and you are getting your jollies". He does this until you give in and send him pictures of yourself. Of course he always 'hopes for something a little more revealing". Do not go there, he collects everything. He openly admits to receiving porn from an 'old college friend'. He will try and tell you that this is the 'first time' he has engaged in cybersex and or phone sex. Of course it is all a lie. If you refuse to take it further with the webcam or anything else he quickly becomes bored and then come the excuses. He has been openly caught out with other women, both on the net and in real life. He sucks you in with the sob stories about his "sexless wife". How she "never kisses him" and the best line yet, how she allegedly told him after they married "I hope sex is not important to you". Yet amazingly they did go onto have two children together. The fact that they are now grown and he has "hung on in there" shows you the martyr man within. Doug Beckstead from Anchorage, Alaska loves to brag about his former college days and how sex was never an issue. He tells you everything that he did, the other women did and how much it all meant to him. There will be a few stories about the early sex life with the wife, but then he woefully whines about the serious decline blah, blah, blah. It is all designed for you to take pity on him, yet another sympathy ploy of this sociopathic predator.
