No. Too abstract and detached for me. Whatever happened to actually being in the same room when you have sex? But I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.
I can remember one time when this odd little troll came out of nowhere about 10 years ago while I was on AOL and IM'd me, wanting to cyber. I was curious, so I asked him about himself. He said he was a dom, and proceeded to start in with the most horrible insults and degradation. I guess he thought this was foreplay. Honestly, I wish I'd saved the session. It was one of the funniest internet exchanges I've ever experienced. IMHO, he was probably just a drunken frat boy. But Christ, could that boy CUSS ;-)
I doubt very seriously I could just talk to someone whom I dont know or feel any connection with and get anything out of it. Jan I think there is more to this story then what your telling me. I would like to know more about your AOL days and the types of talks you have with strangers.
Well, that's all there is to THAT story. But I do have many other stories, that is for certain! Not so many good stories about complete strangers, though. I tend not to talk to people out of nowhere because one guy actually sent me a file with a virus once, when I was too stupid to know not to download files from strangers. But I HAVE had some interesting internet encounters; no doubt as to that. I like to connect with really bright people where there's actually something in the encounter for me -- had a very interesting relationship with my writing mentor about 10 years ago; also a journalist from Maryland who who was a fellow with the Cato institute. VERY interesting, brilliant folks. And with that -- I say no more ;-)
At this point in my life, I would consider it cheating. Of course, it depends on the point of view of your spouse as well. But it's risky behavior. These relationships do tend to get quite intense. And for those who think they remain as online-only relationships -- maybe for some, but certainly not for all. Let's just say, if I were seriously involved with anyone at this time, it would not please me to know that my partner was cybering with anyone. In fact, it would probably kill the relationship entirely.
