Webinar Recap: Sex and Technology

Written By: Gentle Path

Dr. Erica Sarr, primary therapist at Gentle Path at The Meadows, facilitated an educational webinar titled Addiction Interaction in Young Adults: Drugs, Sex & Tech for clinical professionals on August 24, 2017.  Dr. Sarr, who specializes in the intersection of sexuality, mental health, and technology, touched on topics such as porn use in young adults, gaming addictions, drug abuse, and age normative behaviors for young adults during the 45-minute presentation.

In the following excerpt from the webinar, Dr. Sarr examines the use of technology in sexual expression and sexual acting out. Technology has influenced not only our daily lives in public, but also in private. Dr. Sarr touches on dating apps, teledildonics, the impact both positive and negative on the lives of young adults, and the signs that indicate technology may be causing difficulty in our lives.

In the full video, Dr. Sarr describes the addiction interaction between drugs, sex, and technology as we have seen it play out in patients at the Meadows Behavioral Healthcare family of specialized treatment programs. To view the full recording of the webinar go to https://youtu.be/-BZjKV5onmw.
