Stripchat Partners with Sexuality Experts for Cam Session Series

David Ley Jul 23, 2019

CYPRUS — Leading camsite Stripchat is partnering with the Sexual Health Alliance to bring clinical psychologists, sex researchers and relationship therapists onto its global cam platform to answer questions about sex addiction and online infidelity. The initiative will kick off Aug 1, 2019, with an hour-long cam session with Dr. David Ley.

“Cam users are passionate about cams, but the outside world doesn’t always accept,” says Max Bennet, Vice President of New Media at Stripchat. “Cam fans are more likely than other adult fans to struggle with shame and anxiety about their desires. This is a chance for them to get past some of the myths and stigma around porn, and talk to an expert what science actually says.”

New Study About Camming

A recent internal study from Stripchat showed that 42% of cam fans had experienced some anxiety about the time spent watching cams, with 11% reporting frequent or constant anxiety. Married viewers exhibit more anxiety than single people, with 29% saying they worried their cam use constituted cheating and 31% said it had caused conflicts in their relationship. The numbers were significantly higher for married women and viewers who identified as very religious.

Stripchat has partnered with the Sexual Health Alliance to talk help cam users better understand the science behind cam and porn use. SHA Advisory Board member Dr. David Ley will appear on cam to discuss the latest research on the origins sexual shame, online infidelity and sex addiction.

“Webcam users have been left out of most research and therapy,” says Dr. Ley.  “Non-shaming support and education is nonexistent. This needs to change, and this is how it starts.”

“Sex Addiction: Myths and Facts” will take place on Stripchat on Aug 1, 2019 at 5PM ET.

Users must be logged in in order to ask questions, however no membership to Stripchat is needed to view the session.

Survey data and other information about the initiative are available.
