Dear Auntie Jill,
I’ve been in on-line chat for over three years and I’m starting to worry that meeting up with on-line friends is becoming highly addictive. Have you any advice please. Should I be worried?

Dear Sleepless,
Addiction generally relates to physical and psychological dependence and in that sense chat can be extremely addictive. Certainly, if you find yourself staying up beyond your normal bed time, forgetting to feed the cat, missing episodes of ‘Strictly’, running out of clean knickers, or falling asleep at your computer you should be asking yourself serious questions. Compulsive use of Internet pornography, adult chat rooms, or adult fantasy role-play sites can impact negatively on real-life relationships. In particular increasing numbers of people are beginning to mistake some of the bizarre behaviours enacted in chat rooms as ‘normal’ often with disastrous consequences. You don’t say how much time you spend in chat, but if it’s more than two hours a day you really should be concerned. Addiction to social networking, chat rooms and messaging to the point where online friends become more important than real-life relationships is like any other addiction and just as detrimental.
My recommendation is a good dollop of cold turkey (that’s gradual reduction and replacement therapies, just in case we have any chat room bestiality role-players reading this). Short of cold showers every twenty minutes, I would recommend an on-line holiday where you leave chat altogether for at least four weeks. Personally I think three years is a long time to be in chat continuously. Failing withdrawal I suggest that you set yourself strict limits. One of my friends always used to set herself a strict watershed every evening. She felt it helped her keep a firm grip on reality.
Withdrawal can be stressful and I find having a cat as a companion a therapeutic distraction from chat. In fact in the evenings I find there’s nothing more relaxing than sitting in the conservatory and watching the sun go down while stroking my pussy. I wish you luck.

Dear Auntie Jill
It is a joy to see common sense and real wisdom combine to give such worthy advice. I particularly agree with the bit about stroking a pussy. That is often underestimated as a therapy but I find it incredibly helpful as a form of stress relief and often offer to lend my pussy to close friends who need help in that way.

Interesting... So pussy stroking can act as a mutual therapeutic tool, working for the stroker AND the stroked?
I guess I'll have to work on an alternative myself.
Although I now have to admit I have a disturbing mental image of Monica as Blofeld, turning round in a leather chair, stroking her pussy and saying "I've been expecting you...."
I couldn’t agree more Auntie and here I’m not talking about felicitous feline fumblings. Perhaps the gravest danger anyone faces who spends too much time on line is that they begin to mistake it for reality. In fact the drama queens who spoil things for others are invariably those for whom chat has become life. I go into chat now three or five times a year and currently I’m having a messenger holiday and confess to feeling a lot better for it.
If Blofeld looked like Monica, James Bond would have never been off our screens *grins.
