Cybersex

I touched on this subject before in the post on Internet dating. The graph above shows the approximate number of men and women that would indulge in some sort of online sexual frolics, given half the chance. This is commonly referred to online as "cybersex", or "cyber" for short. It may be a conservative estimate, but I reckon that 90% of men in online chat rooms are either very upfront about it or would partake if given the green light by the fairer sex. It doesn't make much difference if the man is married, engaged, otherwise spoken for or single. This behaviour seems to be more prevalent with younger men, probably due to excess testosterone. Perhaps the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak with the older guys! The corresponding figure for women is quite low and again mostly confined to younger women, or as mentioned previously, men pretending to be women!

Most men go to chat rooms to meet women for sexual activity, not to shoot the breeze with them or talk shite with other guys. Women, on the other hand, will happily chat anywhere, at anytime with anyone for any reason. This is a fundamental difference between the sexes, which I mentioned in the very first posts on this blog.

The anonymity of the web makes the more "direct" methods appealing for some idiots. After all, it is rather difficult to get a slap in the face over the Internet! Guys in chat rooms usually use several techniques to try and get some online action:

1. If the woman has a suggestive online name (e.g. Big_Boobs or Up4It_Now) and/or the guy is young, the crass sexual remark will often be the opening gambit.
   
2. If the woman doesn't have a suggestive moniker, establish where she lives. If meeting up physically is practical, try to engineer that as soon as possible to hopefully get some real action. If she lives far away, on to option 3.
   
3. Start amicably, while making gradually less and less subtle innuendo to see if the woman bites. If she does, proceed to talking dirty. If she doesn't, ditch the time waster and move on to someone else.
   
4. Invite her to use a more "private" or "better" chat (e.g. MSN Messenger) and offer to show her your cam. Of course, you meant your fiddly bits, not your face - how could she not know that? If she bites (not literally!), proceed to having "fun". If not, you're a pervert!
   
5. It's not all bad. Chat amicably, perhaps for months or even years, just for the friendship. Most guys would not see the point of this! Instead, most would eventually organise to meet (regardless of where she lives), fall in love and live happily ever after. Yeah, right!
   

I wonder which of these scenarios is the least likely?!
