It sounds as if you're trying to find a way to make sense of all the computer sex you've heard of. You may wonder how and why it got started, so you're looking to see what else was going on around that time that might have caused it. The only connection I can see between the Clinton scandal and computer sex is that both were, and are, well-publicized. Years ago, we didn't hear as much and in as great detail about these sexual subjects. So when people hear about things a lot, they naturally think it must be going on a lot.
Sexuality has always interested people.
Over the past few years, computers have become a part of many households, making access to the sexual sites very easy. This easy access, as well as our cultural interest in computers, has contributed to all the publicity regarding computer sex. As far as Clinton goes, he's a public figure whose activities get a lot of attention. Some would say he's a poor role model for our youth, and others would say that his sexual activities don't influence them one way or the other. I'm a middle-age man and want to know what mine is.
