 Flirting violence is increasing


Psychiatrist Onur Okan Demirci stating that ‘flirting violence’ is the way that couples engage in physical, sexual, psychological, social and digital violence towards each other, explained: “Social media increases the severity of dating. Technological behaviors such as requesting the password of accounts, forcing to send videos or photos, checking the last time being online, the identity of followers, controlling which photos they liked are examples of flirting violence”.


Violence, which has become a social problem, has profound psychological traces as well as its physical dimension. Psychiatrist Onur Okan Demirci evaluated the severity of flirting problems and its consequences mostly seen in teenagers and young adults. Demirci stating that the behavior of married or unmarried couples in an emotional relationship involving mutual violence or threat is called flirt violence, added: “The use of psychological pressure, follow-up on social media, restricting, forcing sexual intercourse and humiliation are also included in the definition of violence. In fact, these situations can often have more devastating consequences than physical violence.”
