History Film / CyberSeductionHisSecretLife

* CastingGag: Diane screams at her teenage son for looking at internet pornography and desperately tries to get him to stop. She's played by Kelly Lynch, who is known for doing numerous nude scenes in different movies. Then again, the idea of her son having ADateWithRosiePalms while accidentally coming across naked pictures of her online ''would'' explain her behavior a bit...

* BondageIsBad: Justin's descent into unpopularity begins when he shows his friends S&M porn, the closest thing in the entire film to resemble pornography that would be considered extreme and not just women in their underwear.

* KarmaHoudini: Neither Monica nor Justin’s bullies face any kind of repercussion for this actions at the end of the film.

* CluelessAesop: Because of television content standards, the most the movie can actually show of Justin's internet pornography addiction are [[FullyClothedNudity garden variety pictures of scantily-clad women]], rather than any form of hardcore pornography - or, heck, any ''nudity'' at all (And the fact it can't show him actually touching himself as well doesn't help either). This in turn undermines the film's message, since if something that mild is all it takes for him to spin out of control it becomes questionable whether he either has psychological problems already or if his mother's extreme overreaction had something to do with it. Some viewers have suggested that Justin's real addiction is late-night voyeurism mixed with throwing back energy drinks the latter of which is enough to do a number on any growing adolescent's overall well-being.

* DumbassTeenageSon: Justin, oh Justin! He doesn't bother to ''shut the door to his room'' whilst on a boobie binge let alone think to use private browsing tabs[[labelnote:*]]However, private browsing was not as common in 2005-2006, so this can be semi-excused[[/labelnote]] to hide his internet history from his overbearing mother. At one point, Justin burns some salacious pictures onto a CD he cleverly labels "Virgin Vaginas" instead of ''anything but that'' which naturally leads to him getting into hot water later when his mom snoops around his room. He even uses ''his girlfriend's PDA'' to send himself pornography and he does so even right before an all-state competition!

* NatureAdoresAVirgin: Amy is portrayed as the good Christian girlfriend of Justin who waits for sex and helps rehabilitate Justin towards the end. Meanwhile, Monica is the sexually active senior high schooler who leads Justin astray, tries to cheat on her boyfriend, and runs her own illegal porn site and therefore indirectly helps kick off the movie's conflict.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Monica’s pursuit for attention solely through sexual means and extreme reaction to getting rejected by Justin are clear signs of mental trauma from years of sexual abuse, not to mention she’s an underage girl running her own porn website.

** The kids who bullied Justin for watching porn were the same people who introduced him to it. And, if that's not enough, Monica's boyfriend, who is one of them, keeps goading Justin to make make a move on her only to beat him up later on because of his porn obsession. Granted, she ''lied'' about him attacking her, but ''what the hell did you think would happen, dude?!''. Of course, it can be justified with how Justin taking things too far to the point that he can't stop looking for porn in public and even before a state competition!.

** The fact that Justin didn't even try to make his activities discreet except for select few might times might give the impression that the script was originally written as a story about drug addiction, but later retooled into an anti-porn tract.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Although pornography addiction virtually always involves some form of masturbation or sexual activity, the film never never implies Justin is as much as touching himself while binging on internet porn.

* SkewedPriorities: The adults are far more concerned with Justin's porn browsing than the fact that his schoolmate Monica runs her own illegal porn website.

* SkeweredPriorities: The adults are far more concerned with Justin's porn browsing than the fact that his schoolmate Monica runs her own illegal porn website.

* HormoneAddledTeenager: The movie goes out of its way to demonize teenage promiscuity and those who partake in it offering no middle ground at any point throughout.

* MadonnaWhoreComplex: Justin's Christian girlfriend Amy is firmly in the former camp and the slutty Monica squarely in the latter. The film goes out of its way to show there is no middle ground in that department when it comes to women.

* SpiritualSuccessor: This film is one to ''Film/TheSinisterUrge'', a 1961 film by Creator/EdWood that focuses on the "evils" of pornography.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Justin binging on energy drinks while looking at porn is an obvious substitute for [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]].

* DumbassTeenageSon: Justin, oh Justin!

* CluelessAesop: Because of television content standards, the most the movie can actually show of Justin's internet pornography addiction are [[FullyClothedNudity garden variety pictures of scantily-clad women]], rather than any form of hardcore pornography - or, heck, any ''nudity'' at all (And the fact it can't show him actually touching himself as well doesn't help either). This in turn undermines the film's message, since if something that mild is all it takes for him to spin out of control it becomes questionable whether he either has psychological problems already or if his mother's extreme overreaction had something to do with it.

Then again, the idea of her son having ADateWithRosiePalms while accidentally coming across naked pictures of her online ''would'' explain her behavior a bit...

** The fact that Justin didn't even try to make his activities discreet except for select few might gave the allusion that the script is meant for drug addiction but changed to porn addiction.

Then again, the idea of her son having ADateWithRosiePalms while accidentally coming across naked pictures of her online ''would'' explain her behavior a bit...

* FullyClothedNudity: The pornography presented in the movie is ''far'' from anything titillating with it hardly being something that could cause serious parental concern.
** To be fair however, computer-based pornography wasn't so easily accessible in the pre-smartphone pre-social media era the film takes place during and anything that actually qualified as being NSFW would likely have been hidden behind a paywall of some sort.

** The kids who bullied Justin for watching porn were the same people who introduced him to it. And, if that's not enough, Monica's boyfriend, who is one of them, keeps goading Justin to make make a move on her only to beat him up later on because of his porn obsession.

This in turn undermines the film's message, since if something that mild is all it takes for him to spin out of control it becomes questionable whether he either has psychological problems already or if his mother's extreme overreaction had something to do with it. If anything, the Internet pornography of that era would have been ''harder'' to find, not as easy as today, even though the Dark Web did not exist. Also, addiction to pornography which isn't that hardcore is ''rare''.

* FullyClothedNudity: The pornography presented in the movie is far from anything titillating with it hardly being something that could cause concern, however it has some basis in reality, where most premium porn sites and porn ads often tempt potential viewers or payers to see more than the non-nude by paying to access. Not to mention, SexyDiscretionShot is in full effect here.

* HormoneAddledTeenager: The movie goes out of its way to demonize teenage promiscuity and those who partake in it.

* TheInternetIsForPorn: It's a story about a teenager who becomes addicted to internet porn and his life is destroyed because of it. As noted above, porn addiction ''is'' real and ''can'' ruin your life, but the film handles it like a nondenominational live-action ComicBook/ChickTract about how NewMediaAreEvil. Just to make it confusing, he's only found out because he inexplicably makes hard copies and hides them poorly (suggesting the writer was unclear on the concept or hastily adapted a script about dirty magazines).
* AManIsAlwaysEager: Justin is always pressuring Amy to have sex with him because he thinks he's ready. Subverted later in the film when Justin suddenly has second thoughts about having sex with Monica right as they are about to get into it.

* CluelessAesop: Because of television content standards, the most the movie can actually show of Justin's internet pornography addiction are [[FullyClothedNudity pictures of scantily-clad women]], rather than any form of hardcore pornography - or, heck, any nudity at all.

* MyBelovedSmother: Diane will stop at nothing to save both her sons from the evils of internet pornography, although in real life, research has proven that not all Internet pornography is bad.

* FullyClothedNudity: The pornography presented in the movie is far from anything titillating with it hardly being something that could cause concern, however it has some basis in reality, where most pre-Pornhub era porn sites and ads often tempt potential viewers or payers to see more than the covered ones by paying to access.
