description | This review highlights the relationship between sexuality and Internet use, the various ways in which the Internet includes and enhances sexuality, how it affects sexual behaviors and attitudes, and the important role it has in peoples’ sexual behavior, education, interaction, and satisfaction. This article also presents the ‘two faces’ of the Internet.
