Cybersex is one of the newest social phenomenons to come of the electronic age. The availability of live chat rooms and private conferencing through the internet and many online services has made it possible for people to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings with people they will likely never meet. Cybersex is the online sharing of a mutual sexual fantasy with one or more other people. It can and often does involve masturbation. Cybersex is practiced by single people, married people, young people, old people, people who have active social lives, and people who don't get out much.
Some people have many brief cybersex encounters.
Others have longterm monogamous cybersex romances. Some people practice cybersex out of boredom, others for safety, and some because they don't feel attractive enough to find sexual partners in the physical world. Some married couple use cybersex to liven up their sex lives and get new ideas for pleasuring each other. I've had many cybersex encounters. Some were very good.
