The use of adult Web sites for the purpose of sexual expression is becoming increasingly popular and at times problematic. Online sexual behavior is different for each person, ranging from recreational to pathological use. The types of online users discussed in this article include Recreational Users, Sexual Compulsives, and At-Risk Users (consisting of two subtypes, the Depressive Type and the Stress Reactive Type). With the issue of Internet use and overuse gradually making its way into clinicians’ offices  assessment techniques and treatment strategies for each type of user are provided and suggestions for future research are included.
