A computer, an internet connection and increasingly erotic nights. If you add a webcam and a connection to one of the many online dating websites, the game gets even hotter... It seems paradoxical, but sexuality, which should be "carnal", is increasingly satisfied through virtual channels. The phenomenon of online sex is becoming more and more widespread, not only among couples in crisis looking for a distraction and who come to betray on the web, but also among those who are not satisfied with their sex life or do not have a partner. Nothing wrong with that, if you exclude the illegal forms that exist on the web as child pornography, and provided you don't become addicted to pornography. Virtual sex is not an illegal thing, if it is consumed between consenting adults, but it becomes illegal if you involve minors!

WOMEN PREFER CHAT AND MEN PREFER WEBCAM

When we talk about online sex, we refer to all those techniques designed to arouse sexual pleasure through the Internet, between two or more partners: being naked, in photographs, on a webcam and using explicitly sexual language; all this is often associated with auto-eroticism. Women prefer erotic chats, while men prefer webcam sex; in fact, the former get more excited with words, letting their imagination run wild, while men have a more visual sexuality. In chat, therefore, you can have a reciprocal role in which both parties involved act, or one becomes a spectator of the other's sexual performance, simply translating the arousal into auto-erotic mode. There are also situations in which online sex involves groups of people and in this case, the images are exchanged via webcam.

IT IS THE INDIVIDUAL SEX

Although it may involve two or more people, online sex remains an individual practice; the other is used to fulfill one's sexual fantasies and to feed one's pleasure, which is then experienced through masturbation. There is therefore no real exchange. There are also couples who use this medium if they are at a distance, to keep the passion, but even in this case, while sharing a pleasure with the loved one, the act is always individual.

WHY IS SEX SO SUCCESSFUL ON THE WEB?

Often we approach online sex out of curiosity, loneliness and to feel more satisfied. It's about the fascination of looking but not touching, of having the forbidden fruit at close range without being able to really grab it. When you interact sexually with another person by webcam or chat, you establish an immediate and intimate proximity, which, however, never comes to a direct contact (at least at that time) and this increases the sexual excitement. Moreover, having sex with strangers has the charm of transgression. In some cases, online sex is used by those who have difficulties in real relationships, because in this way, you reach a direct and quick intimacy without the need for foreplay and courting. But virtual sex is also appreciated by those who do not want demanding relationships or who want a diversion from the sexual routine.

THE CONSEQUENCES

Those who trade real sex for virtual sex may eventually become addicted to cybersex, and the danger is that they will drift away from real relationships. Even those who are lonely and have difficulty with real approaches need to understand that at first this mode appears to be a shortcut, but then becomes a double-edged sword, because you get caught up in paths that are increasingly difficult to get out of. Beware then of your privacy, we never know who we have on the other side.... That's why it's imperative to avoid exposing your face and giving out personal data!
