The mechanisms and the desires of sex and sexual intimacy and sexual contact can be lived out through the Internet in cybersex.




Cybersex is a very interesting sort of phenomenon. Cybersex is sort of a function of the Internet, a function of computers.

But what it provides is a mechanism that has heretofore never been available.

People can communicate and talk with other human beings and fantasize and to discuss sexual content and to engage in a virtual sexual relationship that, at least in their minds, is real.

We don't have to worry about AIDS and things like that because there's no physical contact.

But the mechanisms and the desires of sex and sexual intimacy and sexual contact can be lived out through the Internet in cybersex.
