Cybersex and Online Romance
An online relationship is a very widespread phenomenon in our highly technological world. We'll tell you more, in certain sense online relationships are even in fashion nowadays. If you ever got close to Internet with its vastly offered possibilities, you sure haven't missed a chance to meet and get to know someone from the virtual reality.
Most of the time such interaction goes up in virtual smoke because people live in different countries, sometimes even on different continents. But there are cases when people seriously get involved in the whole thing and establish supernaturally strong connection on both levels – emotional and physical.
They start corresponding, they certainly proceed with chatting using instant messengers in order not to lose each other in the unreliable world of a chat room. They usually have good spiritual conversations before they establish any virtually naughtily 'physical' contact, and when they do start having cybersex after some time, they hardly ever get disappointed because the firm solid emotional grounding for further achievements has already been built.
Most observant critics treat these relationships very skeptically, they label the phenomenon of online romance as a total fake born in a fake 'world' and i.e. based on fake emotions and fake satisfaction. Does fake satisfaction ever exist? Satisfaction is satisfaction no matter how fake its so-called stimulators are. Besides, recent research has proved that even though cybersex suggests certain fake and artificial way of contributing to a relationship, people's feelings and emotions stay unchangeably real.
Another variant or type of online romance is based on already mentioned shotgun situations i.e. when people who are in a real relationship have to part for certain reasons – either because of work or basing on personal reasons for an uncertain period of time. Cybersex is helpful in these situations as well for it not only helps to continually keep the couple's fire in the 'lit-up' condition but also prevents people from cheating on each other. They say that emotional adultery is much worse than physical one but both would be more than unpleasant if happened within your relationship, don't you agree?
It doesn't mean, however, that we should eternally concentrate our lives on our online relationship in case we were 'lucky' to get involved in it. Why? Because sex is crucially important in a relationship and if your relationship is virtual, you are bound to have virtual sex for long periods of time. Risking ending the whole thing with nothing, by the way, let alone hope for happy end.
It doesn't mean that cybersex as a part of online romance and vice versa is eternally harmful, however, it's much more important to concentrate at your real love life because it suggests your real everything connected with it. It doesn't mean that your online romance is confined to unhappy end either, however, if you love each other, you will find a way to meet in the real world and stay in it always and forever.
