Abstract

Internet is a blessing for humankind where one can have all good-things rather bad-things from it. It is easy to get stuck into dark-&-ugly world of civilization with just a click to online-sexual-activities—Pornography and Online-live-sex. Besides emotional-problems, it has linkages with today’s high-rise-rate of divorce, rape, family-conflicts in society country-wise such as Bangladesh. For policy-guidance, this study analyses basic issues of Online-sex-market in terms of marginal-damage analysis under neoclassical partial equilibrium demand-supply theory. It further analyses the reasons of disparity between social-cost and private-cost by conventional marginal-damage analysis. Findings show that because of online-sex-activities, marginal social-costs are higher than marginal private-costs. Continuation of increasing it in Bangladesh, results a higher welfare-loss incurred from higher social-costs. Because of its high rise demand due to continuation of rising per-capita-income and having easy-access to supportive-factors, prices of services are becoming upward-trends, which dominate producer-surplus. Service-providers generate high revenues and consumers face high market-prices, which create higher deadweight-losses. Thus, there is an urgency for national policy-design. Probable-policies can advance in three-folds a) how to quit online-sex b) how to perform treatment of online-sex-addiction and c) how to prevent newcomers. Besides having effective-monitoring, raising awareness and engaging public, Internet-companies & officials, calling for Conferences may play significant-roles country-wise.
