I'm confused on this. Seriously. Opinions welcomed. The poll's anonymous.
 
You didn't really give many options in the poll there Joe.
 
It's a substitute to me. Given the option, I'd much rather have the person there with me and I wouldn't consider cybering in any way synonymous with real sex.

Having said that, if a partner of mine was to cyber with someone else, then I would regard it as cheating.

I know. What would you want to see as an option?

Well, generally when you have a poll you have at least one for, and one against your subject. Both of those are for.

Now, I have nothing against cybersex, it can be fun. But it is by no means sex. Its just foreplay, with words.
 
I tend to agree on the topic of "cheating" - at least, it diverts energy and sexual interest out of the relationship and to someone else.

That said, cybersex and other forms of the written word occupy a special for me. To draw from another thread - there are many things I find arousing that are physically impossible, and I enjoy the chaotic liberty of the fictional world. It's neither a substitute nor a replacement - it's its own form of sex, and one that I enjoy immensely. It is a delight, to me, to be free to indulge fantasy free of moral, ethical, biological, or physical limitations and run as wild as I like.

Since the only cybersex I've ever engaged in was actually role-playing, it ended up much more like an erotica peice written by two people rather than cybersex.

You know, I don't think that really answers the question...
 
I consider it long-distance, assisted masturbation. There are elements of reality to it, but overall it is too much of a fantasy for me to consider it real sex. I like what Shanglan said about it being an individual form of sex, but I need skin-to-skin in order to be having 'real' sex. Even phone sex isn't 'real' sex to me. Fun as it can be, but still long-distance, assisted masturbation.

Just makes me more frustrated usually. But one step above jerkin' to a porno.

I tend to agree. But quite a lot of "real sex" can fall into the "assisted masturbation" category. Okay, so it's your fingers instead of her own...

where the hell else can a girl get ridden with a 12 inch cock and the guy does it all night non stop... it just don't happen in real life :devil:

hiya joe, he sends his love and said "you wanna cyber" :p
 
I'd like to see an option that says something like...

Cybersex is nice, but it's not a substitute for real sex...

And Shanglan, just to point out the absurdly obvious, not all cyber-sex takes away from a primary relationship. In a long-distance relationship, it is part and parcel of the primary relationship.

But I'm sure you knew this already because you are such a deliciously intelligent equine... :kiss:
 
The cyber I've had was very good, and excuse me if I come off arrogantly but I think it was due to intelligence and imagination (and webcams) on both our parts. Previously cyber-sex had seemed dopey to me cos I thought it was just typing sex stuff and wanking simultaneously, but my experiences from the start produced some very mutually satisfying times. I can't say more about it here, but all in all it was some of the best sex I never had.

my thought is thus:

if i cant be with her...then yes, this type of forum is a substitute. or the phone...either way its better than nothing with a promise of more to come in future.

Indeed, dearest. My reference was specifically to a previous poster who pondered whether it constituted "cheating." Having myself been in the long-distance position, I think it a wonderful extension of the relationship when so used.

I also agree with Perdita. As with physical sex, it's all in the partners. Some people are simply amazing at it. Others ... not.

I never meant to imply that it wasn't outstanding or couldn't be very satisfying, but one of my favorite things about sex is not knowing what's gonna happen next. And I don't mean that the next message surprises you. I mean, "Wow! I wasn't expecting her to bite me that hard THERE!" :eek:

I guess you had to be there.

So did she for that matter. ;)

Getting back on topic.....damn threadjackers.... :p

Nope, it's not sex, but when it's all you've got it's better than nothing. ;)
 
Cyber sex is like real sex. If it's with a good partner it can be as good as real sex but if the chemistry isn't there then it's crap.

I don't see it as a substitute for real sex, I see it as an add on. I think it is like aided masturbation and can be damn good foreplay :)

Hmm I'm sure there was a thread like this onthe How to forum...I feel a sense of de ja vu writing this post *L*
