Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life (2005 TV Movie)

The Evils of the Internet Can Destroy Children

[1/10 · 4 December 2005]

I don't think I've ever seen such a pile of Pro-Christian Right-Wing Conservative propaganda...Shame on you Lifetime! -- The basic moral of the story is that if a 16 year old boy is exposed to "internet pornography" then he will become addicted to it. He will ignore relationships and opportunities with real girls so he can stay up all night long and look at pop up ads. -- This is laughably bad. Bad writing. Bad acting. Just bad. Memorable quotes, "Internet porn destroyed my marriage." and "The Internet keeps getting scarier." -- The mother tells a close friend about her son and pornography...and they treat him like he diseased. He looks at girls in a leather bikini and the guys at his school say he's "sick." Pop-up adds "attack" the family's home computer. The main character obsesses about a high school senior that has her own provocative website...and when she offers sex to him TWICE...he decides he doesn't want to. The producers, writers and director of this movie want you to gain the opinion that internet porn is this evil, infectious thing that seeps it's way into "decent family's" homes and destroys the children. What a load of garbage. It seems like if the boy's girlfriend just gave him a little sex...there would be no issue. But instead, she talks about going to church and wanting her first time to be "magical." (Yeah, it'll be magical to watch you wince in pain and bleed all over the sheets.) The entire two hour movie avoids making any reference or suggestion or even saying the word "masturbate" which I find quite interesting given the content. I suppose they suggested the 16 year old boy either didn't masturbate or didn't know how to. Perhaps if he did...he might not have had all those sleepless nights thinking about naked girls. Sex is a natural, biological function in which curiosity should be met with education and understanding. Instead, this Lifetime movie thinks you should ignore those urges and just be "good" instead. Treat sex with the respect it deserves...instead of SHAMING those who want to explore their feelings. Stinker movie!
