Or so "Like Sands" asks.

But actually, more broadly - cybersex: classic or dud?

Tom, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Here's what they had to say about it.

Tom, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it's cheating in the sense that it's not proper sex. At least not till they perfect the sensuround body suit.

N., Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What is cybersex?

the pinefox, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's what you have with me, pinefox. Or is that cyberrape?

N., Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry - I take that back. I am clearly asking for it.

N., Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheryl Moana Marie by John Rowles is on, what a perfect song to make sweet sweet love with in the background.

Cybersex, its dud in my opinion. I used to have a different appealation (Lady Cholet) and I got heaps of *tempting* offers from people who assured me they were devastatingly attractive, 6ft, buff, blonde so on and so forth. I always had to ask why they couldnt find someone in real life. I imagine they are all disgusting men in moccasins and stained trackpants getting their keyboards dirty and not cleaning them. I recomend they use a phone line or a furry mitten. Its all so thoroughly unexciting.

This question reminds me of an old Judge Dredd story where there's this lonely single gal, right, and she buys this ACME Cybersex machine and jacks in, so to speak, with her very own virtual reality cyberspace misterloverlover - old stoneyface himself!

Then this lonely single guy with the same Cybersex machine and an unrequited crush on lonely single gal hacks into her little hot lovin' session and programs himself into the Judge Dredd role.

The irony being that a medium which reinforces loneliness and physical isolation from one's fellow man (or woman) has been responsible for bringing these two people together.

Morality appears in the form of a fly which short-circuits the cybersex machine and when the guy takes off his VR helmet he has the head of a fly.

I suppose this is my roundabout way of saying that some fantasies should be left in the head, where they belong. Such flights of fancy are emotional and spiritual cul-de-sacs that take us further away from our true selves.

Trevor, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd say, percentage-wise, most of the time it's dud .. but when you get it right, it can be very classic. Usually this coincides with already having an intimate attachment of some sort to the person on the other end, or the both of you being skilled writers ..

.. but suffice it so say that back in the pre-Interet BBS days my deft fingers seduced more than one woman, some twice my age at the time (16) .. of course, this doesn't say so much, because you could make all kinds of questionable sounds about the type of person who'd engage in that activity, their attractiveness, their integrity as a person and commitment to significant other if that applied, but regardless there were some fun, racy times ..

for the other question, I'd definitely say it's cheating. Maybe not so awful an offense as flesh-and-blood, but the fact remains that you're extending yourself to someone else .. directing attention away from your relationship and focusing it somewhere else, however serious or not. and that can lead to permanent changes (one woman I'd met when young eventually divorced her husband. they'd been having an awful marriage as it was, but to think that in any way you were an impetus and influence for that choice..)

Chris, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, it's cheating, just like if someone had phone sex with someone it'd be bad. If you're in a relationship you shouldn't be extending that part of yourself to other people, it's deceitful.

Ally, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you shouldn't be extending that part of yourself to other people

It doesn't have to involve getting your knob out, Ally.

N., Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes it is cheating, and it's a dud, dud, dud.

electric sound of jim, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It isn't cheating if you are single, or the one you are chatting with is single as well. Married though I think it would take a chunk of time from the marriage. Not really cheating to me if the people in question never meet. Talking a great game is nothing. At least not to me. It would be worse to me having a real sleep over in person than here. Is there any safer sex? I will get SHOT for this one!

Gale Deslongchamps, Thursday, 13 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

er, what exactly is cybersex?

hamish, Friday, 14 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you have to marry a computer.

rainy, Friday, 14 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rainy, you're such a old fashioned girl.

N., Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It is the sound of one hand typing.

bnw, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's cheating, it's total dud, and it leads to horrible concepts like 'globalgasm.'

maura, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Globalgasm? Some folks really should keep their hands down their pants, I think.

David Raposa, Saturday, 15 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gotta respect the honesrt tbf

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:10 (four years ago)

every tv series covering the information superhighway in the early 90s had a feature on "cyberdildonics" - that isn't.a word / concept I've encountered in the wild in a long time.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:15 (four years ago)

wild hardly suffices

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:16 (four years ago)

sexcetera has made a number of promises that have thus far turned out not to have been worth my hedging quite so heavily against tbh

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:18 (four years ago)

Jesus, dye remember cybersex tho


didn’t it just kind of graduate into sexting? like you had your chatroulettes etc but nowadays any old stranger can send you nudes via dm or w/e

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:26 (four years ago)

True. Is camming also an offshoot of cybersex?

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:27 (four years ago)

Are you asking with your academic hat on or your wizard hat on?

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:28 (four years ago)

Same thing imo, hence the ivory tower.

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:29 (four years ago)

I dunno

Feel like sexting is different, for all i know of it.

Cams different but in another way

Sexting is presumably with someone you know and cams more like just phone sex lines, in my head

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:29 (four years ago)

xp oo er

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:29 (four years ago)

Cams I always associate with money tbh? Unless you mean like facetiming nude or something

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:31 (four years ago)

Was all cybersex free back in the day? I can't quite remember.

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:31 (four years ago)

Twas chatrooms usually iirc

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:32 (four years ago)

if you were a woman :|

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:32 (four years ago)

Gyac, yes but thats why i think its phone sex lines (shouldve made that uh explicit) -----> cams imo

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:32 (four years ago)

Well depending on the login you couldve been anyone but yeah

Wait i remember now, asl?

Man the horny text based internet was a trip

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:34 (four years ago)

Oh this reminds me that there was a “chat line” that my best friend of the time and I would go into a phone box to use, it was free! It was An Education.

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:34 (four years ago)

I wasn’t online properly till 2003 so I missed all that I think

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:35 (four years ago)

Free?

One wonders what that business model looked like

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:36 (four years ago)

Oh man a million cyber stories thoughts that I'm not quite high enough to dig into yet

But lol, the horribleness of broken down imaginary futures

Scampi reggae party (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:36 (four years ago)

Chat rooms in the UK, wooh that was a thing tho

Scampi reggae party (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:36 (four years ago)

It wasn’t free from a mobile though iirc. That’s why we had to go to the phonebox!

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:36 (four years ago)

I got online fairly early but for some reason cybering didn't appeal to teenage me at all. Waiting 1 min+ for a racy low-res pic to load was much more exciting.

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:37 (four years ago)

What, just mms in general like?

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:40 (four years ago)

Lol public service

Scampi reggae party (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:41 (four years ago)

Man I used to get so pissy when somebody phoned us and it kicked me off the internet

Scampi reggae party (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:42 (four years ago)

xp yeah mms

anyway the summer i was 18 i had some slightly older fella, who was incredibly culchie, cracking onto me despite my best efforts (of the time), and let me tell you his text game was such that the mms he sent me of a low-res lawnmower with the caption “how’s she cutting” wasn’t even in the top ten worst messages he sent

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:43 (four years ago)

culchie

TIL

I can neither confirm nor deny, depending on whether its behavioural or by birthright tbh

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:51 (four years ago)

Was the lawnmower man mms a sexy text or just a howaya tho

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:52 (four years ago)

Seems unfair to be judging his mms game without the info

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 01:52 (four years ago)

xp a howaya that led into a “what would you do if I spanked you haha jk but...” type convo

not initiated or encouraged by me

Answer: it's twice the amount of cheating watching porn is.

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:04 (four years ago)

Suggested answer: definitely if yr partner is in the building

We'll start from there, any objections

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:05 (four years ago)

ffs

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:07 (four years ago)

my srs answer to the question is yes of course it is

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:08 (four years ago)

Objectifying is wrong.

xp

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:09 (four years ago)

No craic in that answer

But tbh i think times has changed and im prob of the same mind now

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:09 (four years ago)

What if the cyber session is a three-way with your partner?

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:12 (four years ago)

^ two kinds of married men

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:13 (four years ago)

also because i am still inexplicably awake, partner is a terrible term and i will never use it

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:14 (four years ago)

What about pardner.

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:16 (four years ago)

Im ok with "partner" tbh it covers a host of sins

And they are sins, remember

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:17 (four years ago)

my aunty once drunkenly told me i was “living in sin” but she didn’t mean any harm by it

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:17 (four years ago)

Im sure that you can, technically, cheat while engaging in three/more ways but rly im not the person to ask

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:18 (four years ago)

Could be worse. Could be conjoint/conjointe.

pomenitul, Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:18 (four years ago)

xp but clearly the person to listen

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:18 (four years ago)

xp just pointing out the situation as she saw it, thats all

My FIL pre being FIL said the same to herself a few times but never broached it with me. Rude.

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:19 (four years ago)

xp sounds nice in French I’m sure

scampish inquisition (gyac), Sunday, 31 January 2021 02:19 (four years ago)
