IMHO, this piece is too emotional and opinionated to be considered neutral and impartial. It's a valid opinion, but inappropriate for an encyclopedia entry. Modemac

Men, ask your wives if they'd be happy to have you engage in phone sex or cybersex with someone than her. I bet the answer will be delivered with a frying pan to the head! We should mention that cybersex is generally (or "often") considered a form of infidelity. --Ed Poor

Presumably it's infidelity only if done with someone other than one's spouse/partner/significant other? --Brion

While there are a lot more women online than there used to be, and many of them do "cyber," there are a lot of guys out there who take female "avatars" and do cybersex just to get their rocks off. And there are lots of guys out there who have cybersex, knowing that the person on the other end is a guy, and not really caring because it's just role-playing.

Umm, doesn't everyone who has cybersex do so to "get their rocks off"? Just a thought...

Just a note. User Vkem posted a large chunk of copyrighted material in this article. [1] --mav

A small question: What's an ephebophile? --Two Halves not logged on

Google is your friend [2]

While I know that it is illegal for youth to participate in sex before a certain age, is it illegal for somebody to have cybersex? And if not, is it being considered? Just a question.--Thecosmos 02:39, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

not sure, while you might get away with it. if you are an adult though you could face charges of child grooming.Mathmo Talk 23:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Of course the whole international law applies here too. For instance, up here i Canada you're given consent at the age of 14 (with two year law of course, 14-16, 15-17, etc. until 18). So an 18 year old in America cybering with say a 16 year old in Canada would be an international affair, and probably legal since the age of consent in Canada dictates the 16 year old has that choice. Not that anyone would really care about an 18 to 16 year old anyway. 24.86.59.67 22:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC) Currently there's no law about it, although child grooming is another matter. If you're 10 and you say you're 18, and you have cybersex, you're the one tricking somebody else. Harley Quinn hyenaholic (talk) 23:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This was nothing more than a pov-laden emotional rant, and while I've cleaned it up, this is not a well-written article. It needs to be significantly improved before the tag is removed. Let's write encyclopedia articles, shall we, not rambling u.s.-centric diatribes about cybersex' "emotional damage" of teens, while a huge number of adults engage in some sort of sexual interaction online, be it flirting, roleplaying or cybersex. Also, this article does not make clear that a good deal of roleplaying is not that different from standard erotic literature (albeit often very badly written). -- Zantastik talk 10:32, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Quite a while ago, I found this and it said this: "it is fun, you should try it" or it was somthing else. Did anybody see this?

This article discusses different motivations behind cybersex, but I postulate one unmentioned (inasmuch as I can see) which is that of practice... A lot of people I know enjoy the idea of cybersex as practice before one's first time, so as to get it right on the wedding night.. as long as both participants behave realistically to the best of their ability.

In "Disadvantages..." I changed the term pedophiles to underage-sex predators, because most often, police are baiting persons seeking presumably illegal sexual activities with adolescents (and not necessarily people with a sexual interest in young children.) Perhaps there is a better wording than underage-sex predators, though. Stevemcl 01:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


April fools edit. Sorry for any inconviniance. User:tomtyke 05.57, 1st April 2006 (BST)

Examples, maybe?

i think http://p4.forumforfree.com/teen2teen.html should be added any objections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.246.41 (talk) 17:11, 8 September 2006

Yes, objections. Please read WP:EL for guidelines on suitable external links - forums are almost never appropriate. ~ Booya Bazooka 21:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WHAT?

Could someone add more disadvantages? This is immoral. It's absolutely stupid anyway. I'm getting tired of seeing these stupid, "Sex Texting" on the Cellphone. --66.218.11.146 07:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia is not a soap box
  • Personal views are not what Wikipedia is about.

[edit] More cleanup maybe?

"Debate continues among moralists on whether cybersex is a form of infidelity." That doesn't seem to take account of the possibility of two committed people in a long-distance relationship, or even a married couple unavoidably separated for a while, having cybersex, which would certainly not be infidelity! Loganberry (Talk) 04:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. That people debate it is perhaps worthy of mention somewhere, but it's not clear that it's a disadvantage. I mean, normal sex most definitely can count as infidelity, but people wouldn't say that a disavantage of sex is that it's a form of infidelity! Clearly the problem is with the infidelity, not sex (physical or cyber) in general. Mdwh 20:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add a new page for Cyber Sex Game

Cyber Sex Game is a new wave of cyber sex. As you can not have sex with anyone online, you can try and pursuit different people and have sex with them online. This would be more of a community based and would have the capability of builing a ranking from it. Sex Standing http://www.SexStanding.com is an example of the above. I should also announce that I am linked to Sex Standing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.14.22.153 (talk) 15:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

what's up with this page and the pictures that people insert, can we get some decent photos people! ;) Elizabethoneall 22:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)eoneall


for real! Yo yo yo! I'm a rappin' rapper named Mr. Winchester. 23:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

It allows for anonymous review and ranking of sexual experiences. For example a couple that don’t want to announce to the world who they are, can register and rank each time they have had sex without being pressured. Keep in mind that on this website, there is nothing that stops you from using your real full names as your nicknames. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.17.14 (talk) 15:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random assortment of pictures

Seriously, what's with the pictures in this article? A computer monitor, a webcam, and a keyboard are not really good examples of cybersex, regardless of how they're used in it. Just wondering if anyone had any good justification for those particular pictures. --clpo13(talk) 05:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I think, from reading the article, a monitor, keyboard and possibly a webcam are what cybersex is all about. But I'd support the replacement of the existig pictures with better ones, if available. --Simon Speed 20:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Pictures should help increase an understanding of the topic, the images in this article fail to do that in any way. Just because images can be added, doesn't mean they should be added. Neitherday 20:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree, and based on a recent conversation with an editor after I reverted his addition of a picture because I didn't believe it added anything to the article (to shortly be reverted myself by someone who did) I think all images should be removed from this article as none of them add anything to it. Anyone else feel the same? I don't particularly want to be bold if I'm the only one who thinks this... Astral (talk) 18:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Well I could say I agree to get rid of the pictures of webcam and keyboard but it adds at least some illustrations to an article that would appear a bit too "textual" without them. As for the recent image I added I can understand that may be shocking to some people but honestly: 1) it's correctly linked to the subject contrary to the other pictures, 2) the composition and the attitude of the woman aren't creating any porn aspect of the subject since we don't really see anything really explicit nor details of her intimacy. So for all these reasons I'd say I'd keep everything! --86.67.47.68 (talk) 07:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This page=garbage

Seriously people... c'mon. 99% of this article is POV and focuses on 'CHILD PREDATORS ZOMG!'. The other 1% makes cybersex look negative and whatnot while also managing to do this and that.

I have very little knowledge on the subject. But hopefully some ppl can fix this?. I mean goodgrief, cybersex between a 46 year old and 15 year old over the internet isn't technically illegal. Because It's not a real life sexual encounter. But a 46 year old ENCOURAGING or TELLING a 15 year old to meet him in real life IS illegal since the lowest age of consent in the U.S. is 16...

But cmon, this article is so bad it makes me wanna claw my eyes out. Nateland 16:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
