7.N. Round table: Social media & smartphones: Threats to child & adolescent health and public health solutions

Abstract The daily lives of children and adolescents in 2024 are heavily influenced by social media and smartphones, which is unprecedented in previous generations. While this technology offers undoubted benefits, there is strong evidence on the negative effects of social and cognitive development of infants and primary school aged children, and mental health impacts in adolescents including depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, addictive behaviours and self-harm. Internet companies are financially incentivised to maximise screen time of users to generate advertising revenue, and more time spent by young people on these devices in a largely unregulated online domain increases risk of consequences like bullying and harassment, body dysmorphia, gambling addiction, porn addiction, sexual predation and suicide. Comprehensive solutions are urgently needed to regulate the activities of social media and tech companies and support young people to protect themselves from serious harms. Governments have been slow to introduce policies such as smartphone bans or enhanced privacy laws, perhaps because they are perceived as unpopular infringements on the rights of adult users and/or due to a potential detrimental effect on commercial interests. Guidance can be disseminated to young people, schools, families and institutions on how to reduce screen time and smartphone addiction, and improve coping and self-regulation to mitigate these risks. Information campaigns with positive health messages in this area, to compete with the advertising dominance of social media companies, are another opportunity to improve behaviours and reduce adverse health effects. The objectives of this round table workshop are to share examples of strategies, guidance and policies from across Europe, and discuss with the audience how the public health community can collaborate to tackle this problem. Members of the EUPHA Child and Adolescent Public Health (CAPH) section will outline the latest available evidence on the negative impacts of social media and screens, present examples of innovative public health responses and strategies to protect children, and engage conference participants for their input and discussion. Five panellists will present. First, John will start with a quiz of the audience which will include presentation of current data and trends relating to social media and smartphone usage. The second presentation by Cecilia will highlight in detail evidence of both benefits and adverse effects of these technologies in the lives of young people. The third speaker Karin will discuss examples of effective policies to reduce this impact, with a focus on the role of schools. The fourth speaker Jean will give further examples of public health actions, and share recommendations directly from children and young people. The fifth panellist Silja will re-quiz the audience, to gauge the reaction and support of solutions that were covered, and this will lead into the interactive discussion. Key messages • Popularity of smartphones and social media has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly among minors, with significant impacts on mental and physical health. • Public health solutions are urgently needed, and this workshop will share examples of effective innovative responses in European contexts, followed by an interactive audience discussion.

Mereduksi Kecanduan Pornografi Menggunakan Teknik Restrukturisasi Kognitif

This Guidance and Counseling Action Research was conducted with the aim of overcoming students' porn addiction through individual counseling services with cognitive restructuring techniques. The method used in this research is the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method in Guidance and Counseling. The subject of this study was a student of SMP N 2 Sewon Class VII who was taken by purposive sampling. This research was conducted in 2 cycles of stages with the administration of tests in each cycle. Data collection techniques are interviews and pornography addiction scales. The method of data analysis used quantitative descriptive data analysis techniques with standard deviation and percentage. The results of this guidance and counseling action research based on the results of pre-test, post-test I and post-test II on the aspects of onlien pornography = 34 (high) to 23 (quite low) to 18 (low); talking porn = 23 (quite high) to 17 (quite low) to 13 (low), and influencing factors = 50 (high) to 37 (quite low) to 28 (low). The results of data analysis obtained from this study indicate a reduction in pornography addiction after individual counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques. The results of this study can be used as a reference for handling pornography addiction in schools.

Assessment and treatment of compulsive sexual behavior disorder: a sexual medicine perspective.

The addition of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) into the ICD-11 chapter on mental, behavioral, or neurodevelopmental disorders has greatly stimulated research and controversy around compulsive sexual behavior, or what has been termed "hypersexual disorder," "sexual addiction," "porn addiction," "sexual compulsivity," and "out-of-control sexual behavior." To identify where concerns exist from the perspective of sexual medicine and what can be done to resolve them. A scientific review committee convened by the International Society for Sexual Medicine reviewed pertinent literature and discussed clinical research and experience related to CSBD diagnoses and misdiagnoses, pathologizing nonheteronormative sexual behavior, basic research on potential underlying causes of CSBD, its relationship to paraphilic disorder, and its potential sexual health consequences. The panel used a modified Delphi method to reach consensus on these issues. CSBD was differentiated from other sexual activity on the basis of the ICD-11 diagnostic criteria, and issues regarding sexual medicine and sexual health were identified. Concerns were raised about self-labeling processes, attitudes hostile to sexual pleasure, pathologizing of nonheteronormative sexual behavior and high sexual desire, mixing of normative attitudes with clinical distress, and the belief that masturbation and pornography use represent "unhealthy" sexual behavior. A guide to CSBD case formulation and care/treatment recommendations was proposed. Clinical sexologic and sexual medicine expertise for the diagnosis and treatment of CSBD in the psychiatric-psychotherapeutic context is imperative to differentiate and understand the determinants and impact of CSBD and related "out-of-control sexual behaviors" on mental and sexual well-being, to detect forensically relevant and nonrelevant forms, and to refine best practices in care and treatment. Evidence-based, sexual medicine-informed therapies should be offered to achieve a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences.

Rabbani Education: Facing Realities and Readiness for the Challenges of Future Education

One of the ways to develop a generation of rabbani is through education. Rabbani education is a continuous effort through the implementation of holistic and balanced education. Education is a powerful tool to prepare and produce ideal human beings in a society. Its roots are education based on life and human development. The problem of social symptoms is now becoming more prevalent such as bullying, porn addiction, adultery and so on. This is increasing along with the increasingly sophisticated age that is growing in pursuit of the technological revolution. Today's society also places less emphasis on prayer as an obligation as a Muslim. Therefore, this study aims to examine all the problems that exist to be used as a guide in forming the perfect human being. This study uses a quantitative method from fourth grade students of pioneer religious secondary schools who have implemented rabbani education. A survey study using a questionnaire instrument was conducted. The findings of this study show positive results in giving birth to a generation of rabbani. It is hoped that the implications of this study can be used until the formation of perfect student development among school members to improve the quality of personality of Religious High School students and can then be used as a basis for guidance to other schools in Malaysia.

‘When you become addicted to it you start having these unrealistic expectations’: young people’s perceptions of porn addiction

ABSTRACTThere is ongoing academic and clinical debate over whether someone can be addicted to porn. To gain insights into the role of porn in young people’s lives, this research sought to explore young people’s understandings of porn as a normal part of their lives, or by contrast, as addictive. Drawing on qualitative small friendship group interview data from 106 school-aged young people in New Zealand, I reflect on young people’s views on porn addiction. The young participants believed that men can quite easily become addicted to porn whereas women are much less likely to watch porn or become addicted. A minority of young men in this study were concerned that they were or had been addicted to porn. Their primary concern with porn was their frequency of use more than any of the myriad of other related issues, which was reflective of broader masculine perspectives and concerns.

Online ejaculation training programs promote non-evidence-based treatment of male sexual dysfunction.

Purposefully reducing the frequency of ejaculation, coined "semen retention", and the similar practice of "NoFap", have been popularized on social media. They are frequently accompanied by unsubstantiated claims of health benefits. Their increasing popularity has led to the emergence of online courses claiming to teach these techniques. The goal was to characterize the landscape of courses offering ejaculatory training. A systematic Google search was performed using terms related to ejaculation training to identify training programs. Information regarding instructor credentialing, type and duration of courses, costs, and claims of medical benefits were extracted. Eleven ejaculation training courses were identified with 10 instructors (two courses named the same coach). Costs varied from $5 to $147 per week or a $20 to $199 one-time payment. None of the course instructors claimed standardized credentials in the fields of medicine or mental health. Seven instructors (70%) solely cited their own personal experience as their qualifying credentials. Courses claimed to improve erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, porn addiction, sexual performance anxiety, testosterone levels, and/or depression. Ejaculation training programs are costly, readily available online, and provided by instructors with no medical background. Despite no scientific evidence, these courses claim to improve various aspects of men's health and can be potentially damaging financially, physically, and mentally to participants.

Women Partners, Feeling Rules, and the Gendered Consequences of Porn Addiction

A significant portion of the research on porn addiction has focused on the construction of this social problem and the heterosexual male addicts, yet relatively little is known about women partners. Analyzing open-ended online surveys and interviews with women partners of male porn addicts, this article demonstrates how the medicalization of porn addiction has social consequences which are profoundly gendered and tangled in emotion work. Respondents’ narratives reveal how family, friends, therapists, and partners center the addict’s “recovery” and “healing” by imposing feeling rules that suppress women’s anger and sadness. These feeling rules repress partners’ discussions of the social challenges of porn addiction and lead women to seek out anonymous support online on a site explicitly designed to affirm partners. The site provides opportunities for respondents to discuss the implications of their relationships in ways not fully possible offline. This article thus expands sociological understandings of porn addiction, gender, and emotion work by (1) highlighting the social implications for women who in these partnerships, especially those which reflect and reproduce gender inequalities, and by (2) documenting how women make meaning of social support which affirms, rather than minimizes, those gendered experiences. By doing so, this article raises questions about how the medicalization of other issues related to sexuality, paired with clinical authority of therapists, results in the constraining of women’s intimate lives under the guise of treatment.

Family Counseling With The Spiritually-Directed Satir Model: A Case Report

The number of studies conducted on the family, which has great importance in the life of the individual and society, is increasing. The need for studies on the establishment, continuity, and protection of the family has increased with the rapid change in family structure and the increasing divorce rates in recent years. Family therapy helps family members to deal with and solve their problems with a holistic perspective. The present study aimed to uncover the effectiveness of Spiritually-directed Family Counseling in complex family problems. Developed by Kılınçer, the “Family Therapy Model Using Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy with the Focus on Spiritual Practices of Islam” is a semi-structured model created by integrating the spiritual-religious sources in Islam with Satir transformational systemic therapy. The study was conducted in 11 sessions with a nuclear family with one child who applied with complex problems such as infidelity, bipolar disorder, cancer, childhood traumas, relationship problems, porn addiction, violence, and suicide attempt. As a result of the therapy, it was found that spirituality-directed family counseling can lead to changes in the family at the first level (less fighting, less anger, calmness, etc.) and at the second level (for the couple to forgive and understand each other internally, opening up more space for each other’s feelings, expectations and longings, etc.).

Discussions are frequently accompanied by claims of improvement in male sexual function despite contrary data [2]. Unfortunately, commitment to these interventions has been associated with increased anxiety and distress [3]. Despite this several online courses claiming to teach these techniques have emerged. We aimed to identify online courses offering ejaculatory training and to characterize their programs. METHODS: A systematic Google search was performed using 10 terms related to ejaculation training. For each term, the first two result pages were reviewed. Websites offering any training program to reduce ejaculation frequency or promote abstinence, in exchange for monetary payment were included. Information regarding the disclosed instructor credentialing, type and duration of courses, costs, and claims of medical benefits were extracted. RESULTS: Ten websites and 11 courses were identified (Table 1). Courses included ejaculation training in the form of semen retention (45%), NoFap (27%), “ejaculatory choice” (9%), and “ejaculation control” (9%). Six courses (55%) provided self-guided modules, 3 programs (27%) consisted of 1-on-1 instruction, and 2 programs (18%) involved group sessions. Costs varied from $5 to $147 per week or a $20 to $197 onetime payment. None of the 10 course instructors claimed standardized credentials in the fields of medicine or mental health, and seven instructors (70%) solely cited their own personal experience as their qualifying credentials. Many courses claimed to improve erectile dysfunction (73%), premature ejaculation (64%), porn addiction (82%), sexual performance anxiety (27%), testosterone levels (18%), and/or depression (18%). CONCLUSIONS: Ejaculation training programs appear to be led primarily by instructors with no recognized qualifications and promote non-evidence-based techniques to alter male sexual function. Claims to treat medical and/or mental health conditions are frequently made. Such programs are readily available online, costly to participants, and potentially damaging. Increased awareness by physicians of such programs is necessary and may assist in patient counseling.

The research was conducted using the following methods: «O. Potemkina's sexual profile assessment method», «Methodology for determining the tendency to deviant behavior according to M. Horska» and a Questionnaire for the existence of deviant sexual experience. The study involved 46 young respondents aged 19 to 30. The men presented a sample of 43.5%, and the women estimated 56.5%. The study was led in March-May 2022. The analysis of certain scientific research in the field of psychology on sexual perversions of the personality was performed, and the concepts and types of sexual perversions were disclosed. In particular, the main concepts of the study were described: autoeroticism; homosexuality; pedophilia; gerontophilia; necrophilia; zoophilia, bisexuality, exhibitionism, frotteurism, scopophilia, fetishism, coprophilia, transvestism, sadism, masochism, necrophilia, ephebophilia, porn, and porn addiction, etc.

The Influence of Social Networking on Adolescents' Social Willingness

The development of adolescents has become a hot topic of social concern. With the continuous development and expansion of the Internet, the popularity of social networking has greatly increased. Teenagers have become the main users of online social media applications, but some negativity on the Internet is more likely to have a bad influence on immature teenagers. This research mainly discusses the relationship and mechanism of adolescents' use of social networks, network social efficacy, and network interpersonal relationships. This paper utilized methodology of face-to-face interview, and analyzed under the theoretical frame of Flow Theory. The research draw a conclusion that there were 5 negative effects of the Internet on young people: addicted to online games, addicted to online dating, internet porn addiction, addicted to online information collection, and computer addiction.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with Porn Addiction during the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 Pandemic is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that has affected the mental health of individuals immensely. OCD was among the mental health conditions that emerged with the new norm that is associated with repeated hand wash, social distancing and testing to confirm COVID-19. Nissen et al. (2020) found that there was a significant positive correlation between total OCD severity scores and the occurrence of OCD aggressive and sexual symptoms. [6] The COVID-19 lockdown translated into physical isolation, driving individuals to waste time online with no definite purpose, spending longer, abnormal durations of time online when bored, leading to increased consumption of online pornography. Since March 2020, during the lockdown period, Pornhub has seen a worldwide increase in pornography use of 11.6% compared to the previous average days. [9]

Technological Addictions.

Modern methods of communication and engagement, such as social media, video games, and online shopping, use a variety of behavioral techniques to encourage and reward frequent use, opening the door to addiction. The technological addictions (TAs) are a set of disorders that accompany the technological advances that define the digital age. The TAs are an active source of research in the literature, with promising treatment options already available. There are promising therapeutic and psychopharmacologic treatments for a broad range of TAs. Stimulants, antidepressants, and cognitive therapies may all be effective for internet gaming disorder (IGD). Cognitive therapies may be effective for other TAs, such as social media addiction (SMA), online shopping addiction (OSA), and online porn addiction. Society's dependence on addictive technologies will only increase. Many of the TAs can be addressed with medication and therapy, with more research and literature developing at a rapid pace.

SC32 - The role of asexual trait and porn addiction in a young men healthy cohort

SC32 - The role of asexual trait and porn addiction in a young men healthy cohort

The impact of asexual trait and porn addiction in a young men healthy cohort.

SummaryIn the present study, we aimed to evaluate the association between asexual trait, erectile dysfunction (ED) and porn addiction in a community sample of young men. Between August 2019 and October 2019, a total of 559 young male adults were subjected to an online survey sponsored by social networks with the aim of assessing their sexual habits. The following questionnaires were administered: The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF‐5), Masturbation Erection index (MEI), Pornography Craving Questionnaire (PCQ) and Asexuality Identification Scale (AIS). The overall rate of ED according to IIEF‐5 was 26.0% (165/478), the rate of ED according to MEI was 16.9% (81/478) and the rate ED in patients with AIS ≥23 indicating asexual trait was 10.0% (48/478). We found that IIEF‐5 was positively associated with MEI (b = 0.32; p < .01) and negatively with AIS (b = −0.36; p < .01) and MEI was negatively associated with AIS (b = −0.36; p < .01). We found that MEI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.86; p < .01) and IIEF‐5 (OR: 0.89; p < .01) were inversely associated with asexual trait. The presence of asexual trait can hide a greater risk of finding ED both in intercourse or masturbation. These results should be taken into consideration during the general assessment of the patient with sexual problems.

Correlation of learning disabilities to porn addiction based on EEG

Researchers were able to correlate porn addiction based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis to the psychological instruments’ findings. In this paper we attempt to correlate the porn addiction to various cases of learning disorders through analyzing EEG signals. Since porn addiction involved the brainwave power at the frontal of the brain, which reflects the executive functions, this may have correlation to learning disorder. Only three types of learning disorder will be of interest in our study involving dyslexic, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic children because they involved reduced intellectual ability observed from the lack of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical proficiencies. Children with such disorder when expose to the internet unfiltered porn contents may have minimal understanding of the negative effects of the contents. Such unmonitored exposure to pornographic contents may result to porn addiction because it may trigger excitement and induced pleasure. Experimental results show strong correlation of learning disorders to porn addiction, which can be worthwhile for further analysis. In addition, this paper also indicates that analyzing brainwave patterns could provide a better insight into predicting and detecting children with learning disorders and addiction with direct analysis of the brain wave patterns.

Teenagers' Addiction to Pornography

The current research aims to identify the addiction to pornography among teenagers of middle school students. It also aim at detecting addicted to pornography. Furthermore, it attempts to show the differences in pornography addiction according to the gender variable (male-female). The current research sample is (400) middle school students in the elementary schools affiliated to the Third Directorate of Education of Al-Karkh of both sexes ((200) males / (200) females) for the academic year 2018/2019. The researcher built the porn addiction scale consisting of (32) items and extracted validity and consistency for it. The T-test for two independent samples and the T-test for one sample were used, and the results showed: 1- There are significant differences in porn addiction in favor of middle school students. 2- There are statistically significant differences between the mean of males and females on the scale of pornography addiction in favor of males

Newer addictions in children and adolescents

New forms of digital/social media include Applications (Apps), Multiplayer Video Games, YouTube Videos, Or Video Blogs (Vlogs), WhatsApp, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Telegram. Research evidence suggests that these newer media offer both benefits and risks to the health of children and teenagers. In a survey done on parents by family foundation in 2011, 52% of children 0–8 years of age had access to a mobile device (although only 38% had ever used once). By 2013, this access had increased to 75% between 0 and 8-year olds. In addiction cycle, there are three stages: Binge/intoxication, Withdrawal/negative affect, Preoccupation/anticipation. Majority of us spend much of our time online, especially now during the era of COVID-19 to stay connected to others and keep ourselves entertained during social distancing. As with most disorders, there is not always a clear cause of Internet addiction. However, there are likely multiple factors that contribute to the development of this disorder, some of which are rooted in nature and others that are rooted in nurture. Other newer addictions are pathological gambling, internet gaming disorder, online porn addiction, online shopping addiction, social networking addiction causes biological as well as psychological problems. Manage screen use, Meaningful screen use, Model healthy screen use, Monitor for problematic screen use at any age. To promote health and wellness in children and adolescents maintain adequate physical activity, healthy nutrition, good sleep hygiene, and a nurturing social environment.

Porno Addiction: a Case from Clinical Practice

The article reports on the categories, which are related to hypersexuality and contained in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (2013) and the ICD-11 project. Also, 4 conceptualizations of hypersexuality are named: obsessive-compulsive, addictive, due to an impaired control of impulses as well as associated with the persistent sexual arousal syndrome/the persistent genital arousal disorder and the restless genital syndrome. A clinical observation, made by the author, is presented; in his opinion, it corresponds with the model of hypersexuality as sexual addiction (porn addiction), though when comparing criteria of sexual addiction and compulsive disorder of sexual behaviour, which was included into the ICD-11 project, a conclusion can be drawn about their correspondence. During his first visit a 32-year-old man complained of continuously disturbing thoughts about sex and a difficult control of sex impulses, which were realized during masturbation, 80 % of its cases occurring with use of Internet porn. He masturbated every day or on alternative days mostly at work, as he was alone at his place of work. He watched clips with different heterosexual plots (vaginal and oral sexual intercourses), sadomasochist and lesbian subject matters as well as clips where a woman copulated with a dog. Due to his problem, which appeared when he was 18, the patient felt constant depression since the age of 22. Interestingly, it was difficult for the patient to connect with females. His last sexual intercourse was at the age of 25. Hypnosuggestive therapy in the variant of programming was the basic method of treatment of the patient. Suggestions were made, they being focused on: reduction/elimination of the compulsion for masturbation and porn (particularly its non-normative variants); increase of the sexual drive to real women in real life; increase of a possible control over sexual addictive impulses; easiness in communication with women; mood improvement. All in all, 7 hypnosis sessions were conducted, as the patient could not continue his treatment due to objective reasons. It is noted that the patient had porn addiction, which was supported by his difficulty in connecting females. The above addiction was well controlled with help of hypnosuggestive therapy (the basic method of treatment) supplemented with reading of religious and philosophic literature, which made it possible to weaken addictive drives by distraction (an auxiliary therapeutic effect). The patient’s set that it was necessary to keep almost complete sexual abstinence which, in his opinion, was useful for his organism, resulted in the situation that sexual drives and their realization, which appeared much less often that before the treatment and were even more than “within the normative line”, were perceived by him as addictive, though really they were not any more. Due to an insufficient duration of the treatment one cannot exclude a possibility of the patient’s gradual “sliding” into sexual addiction (porn addiction), this fact necessitating the control of his state.

Neuro-physiological porn addiction detection using machine learning approach

&lt;span&gt;Pornography is a portrayal of sexual subject contents for the exclusive purpose of sexual arousal that can lead to addiction. The availability and easy accessibility of the Internet connectivity have created unprecedented opportunities for sexual education, learning, and growth for adolescences to be in the rise. Hence, the risk of porn addiction developed by teenagers has also increased due to highly prevalent porn consumption. To date, the only available means of detecting porn addiction is through questionnaire. However, while answering the questions, participants may suppress or exaggerate their answers because porn addiction is considered taboo in the community. Hence, the purpose of this project is to develop an engine with multiple classifiers to recognize porn addiction using electroencephalography (EEG) signals and to compare classifiers performance. In the experimental study, the neuro-physiological signals of EEG data were collected previously in Indonesia among students age 9 to 13 years old by researchers from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The EEG data were pre-processed, and relevant features are extracted using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). Then, the features are classified to produce the outputs of valance and arousal. Subsequently, three different classifiers of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayesian (NB), and Random Forest (RF) are employed to determine whether the participant is a porn addict or otherwise. The experimental results show that the MLP classifier yields slightly better accuracy compared to Naïve Bayes and Random Forest classifiers making the MLP classifier preferable for porn addiction recognition. Although this work is still at infancy stage, it is envisaged for the work to be expanded for comprehensive porn addiction recognition system so that early intervention and appropriate support can be given for the teenagers with pornography addiction problem.&lt;/span&gt;
