Internet predators are finding new ways to prey on the vulnerabilities of youth in chat rooms and lure them into sexual activities. This study will examine three chat room transcripts between adult predators and adult volunteers of the group "Perverted Justice" posing as youth. These conversations will be analyzed to interpret the underlying meanings behind the words and actions of the predators and how they affect potential victims. The purpose of this article is to provide insight to the reader of the increased amount of child sexual abuse on the Internet, the often-blatant tactics used by online predators to pursue this abuse, and how they are continuing to successfully manipulate children with them.

“…The reality is that advancements in computer technology generally, and the increased availability of the Internet in particular, has provided for new innovations in, and an expansion of, the field of criminality (and more specifically in the area of sexually-related Internet crime). [49][50][51][52] In the UK, most people's perceptions about sexually-related Internet crime are probably based around either the distribution of illegal pornography on the Internet and/or the use of the Internet for paedophilic purposes (for either distribution of child pornography or using the Internet to contact children with the paedophile pretending to be another child). The latest police guidelines in the United Kingdom also advise that anybody found to have used the Internet to view or circulate child pornography should be investigated as to whether they are abusing children.…”

The Internet appears to have become an ever-increasing part in many areas of people's dayto-day lives. One area that deserves further exam ination surrounds sexual behavior and excessive Internet usage. It has been alleged by some academics that social pathologies are beginning to surface in cyberspace and have been referred to as "technological addictions." Such research may have implications and insights into sexuality and sexual behavior. Therefore, this article exam ines the concept of "Internet addiction" in relation to excessive sexual behavior and Internet pornography, as well as examining newer areas of Internet sexuality such as "online relationships" and sexually-related Internet crime (e.g., "cyberstalking"). 537

“…that those with zoophilic interests are enlightened and have heightened understanding) is one such technique. Similarly, Durkin and Bryant (1999) examine how those with paedophilic interests account for their deviance in an online forum and identify "BIRGing" (i.e. basking in reflected glory) as a strategy, whereby individuals cite examples of famous intellectuals who also had paedophilic interests as a means of justification (e.g., Socrates, Oscar Wilde).…”

The present study depicts the case of a straight, 25 year old, Romanian woman Angela M, who is an individual with a sexual interest in dacryphilia (i.e. she derives sexual pleasure and arousal from crying and/or tears). Asynchronous email interviews were carried out with with Angela M between January 2013 and February 2013 as part of a wider study into dacryphilia. Angela M's interview transcripts comprised rich textual accounts that often made reference to cultural phenomena. Therefore, we apply critical discursive psychology to her data and identify the interpretative repertoires, subject positions, and ideological dilemmas that she uses to construct and negotiate her sexual identity. Our analysis suggests that Angela M draws predominantly upon two interpretative repertoires that construct her sexual interest in dacryphilia both as a performance and as an intellectual activity. However, some tensions exist within these interpretative repertoires, which Angela M negotiates by also constructing her sexual interest as a pathology. We explore the implications of the analysis with reference to postmodern theory and the historical context of a psychiatric tradition that pathologises non-normative sexual interests.Keywords: Dacryphilia; non-normative sexual interests; crying; discursive psychology; online research Dacryphilia is a non-normative sexual interest in which sexual pleasure and arousal is derived from crying and/or tears (reference removed for blind review). We have previously explored three areas of interest that may be relevant to the experience of dacryphilia (reference removed for blind review). These areas comprised those with compassionate, dominant/submissive and curled-lip interests. In the present paper, we analyse the experiences of a participant with compassionate interests in more depth. In particular we apply critical discursive psychology (Edley, 2001) to her interview data in order to generate novel insights concerning how she constructed her non-normative sexual interest in dacryphilia.
