I think the question is, what comes first? the desire for "unhealthy sexuality" or the internet/affair sites that make it easier. IMO, it's undoubtedly the first.
Certain traits are not innate. Human sexuality, in ultimate cause, is certainly innate. The ways we express our sexuality are probably culturally-influenced. I think the increase of pornography and corporate sexuality into the lives of individuals has impacted sexuality.

It's funny. Most pornography is not "grassroots" in nature, it's made by a bunch of men working for a multi-billion dollar industry. If this isn't top-down culture, I don't know what is!
