With all the hype lately about cybersex, i would just like to clear one
thing up........
all it is is hightech masterbation...that's all!
it is completely overrated, and many people think that it allready exsists
in fact, it does not.
In theory, this is what "cybersexx" is.  One would put on a suit that
would more than snuggly fit certain...ah..phisical attributes with a 
sensual taughtness.  One would wear the typical stereoscopic glasses,
and have sensors on there hands, legs, and um...well, you know...

however, it isn't quite masturbation, but more like screwing a fantasy
created by the computer.  and one with rather bad graphics.

gives new meaning to a 5 1/4 inch floppy, doesn't it?

If this is what you need, then go for it!

Sorry but I always thought cyber sex (in the media sense) to mean
getting together with a partner via a talker/mud/irc and having
sex together via emotes and talks.  This kind of fantasy is not
so hard to come by as opposed to this virtual-stimulation suit thing
and the two-way aspect makes it much more interesting...

Didn't i see Virtual Vicki around here a few minutes ago?

What is Virtual Vicki?  I have heard the name elsewhere.

VVick is the name for a virtual prostitution BBS as mentioned in the game
Cyberpunk 2020 from R. Talsorian games. (I wonder if it's possible to start one
up here? On the sexuality board mebbe?)

You people are all pretty confused if you think that it is only a masterbation
session. This is a way for some of the societal outcasts to communicate"."" ."

        While I'm uncertain about the communication part, I have this to say
for cybersex (as defined by two or more people ntalking or party-ing together
lewdly): it is THE safest way to experiment with and discover all the differ-
ent aspects of sexuality. No chance of getting imprgnated (or impregnating
someone), no STD transmission is possible (but having a good antivirus on your
terminal never hurts), and it relieves much sexual tension, without the need
for potentially harmful (physical) side-effects. Or, to put it concisely, I'm
all for it!

        To me the whole concept is kind of scary. At least on 900 lines people
        can hear a voice and get a pretty good idea what sex they're talking
        to. But on a computer you have no idea who you are talking to. Anybody
        can join under a differant name or sex. 

        Re # 10, it seems gender bending might be one of the posative
aspects of "cybersex."

hello i'm from planet zarg
when i loogged on it asked me Male or Female
I'm a zelob, what do I do ?

It  IS ( cybersex ), unfortunately, just a lots of hype stil today, though
a healthy alternative for squeezing pimples. Computerized stimulation for
masturbation and on it self certainly NOT relieving, but creating tension.
In Europe it's a subject of laugh and so are the now-existing interactive
CD-roms ( the ones about sex, Virtual Valery etc ).
But there is a great (near)future waiting....
I'm disappointed every time I read about somebody who's prefering paper-
or electric dreams instead of the real thing; the disease thing sounds like
an excuse. What are you afraid of ?

        Come on people this the lamest topic here. Branch out from this
already dead subject.  Cyber culture anyone?  Your rights in cyberspace?

I've noticed that a lot of the major carriers get peeved when you talk about
problems such as rate hikes, Net rights, etc. There was this story in 
Newsweek last year, and in it they mentioned that there was a rate hike over
on Prodigy, and when several of the users posted messages to advertisers 
complaining about it, they were kicked off the network.
Comments?

Sure, but first after I'd talked with just single one, who really have been
kicked off because of that. There was a  discussion on the Well about policy
trashes and so far I can recall it aproved, that most of this stories were just
kind of modern myths and that most of tthe folks, who were thrown out, had an
complettely other reason for to bbe excluded...But, if it's a  paynet it may
sound better to "be kicked off because of critical stand" than because of
missing pay for the couple of last months... By the way, can someone tell for a
newbie, wich command brings up info-page of those, who agree that it's ok for
others to read it ? Like "bio username" command on the Well ? And email adress
to GREX support ? Thnx !

        r # 16 try !finger xxxxxx to get "bio" info.  It's a standard Unix
command that you should have on the Well that also runs Pico as it's conf
application.

Mausturbation as Woody Allen once said is having sex with someone you love
ie. yourself. Cybersex is nothing more than a device to put geeky, socially
inadaquate net users further away from real life. Sure it would be fun to have
an accomadating whore in your home and office in the shape of a pc computer,
but hey people gat a life. Of course it raises a number of thorny questions..
is adultry possible on the net? etc. goodbye, live long and prosper. may your
genitals never meet with a catus and your oricices never be invaded by a an oak
tree

Amen

Remember Neil that it can make you go blind! so
rightly you religiously rejoice in the fullness
of your health and the ability to see wnere your plaything is.
one other thing....Dont dogs have a great life.All they do
is sit around and have cybersex all day.
Thanking you, god, my mother and the little bits
of crud that are in everyones plug hole.

For Grex support of an informational nature, it is best to first join and 
scan the "info" conference, the purpose of which is to provide information 
about how to use Grex.  You can post questions there if you don't see the 
answer already given.

For more active help, as in getting something changed for you, write
email to staff@cyberspace.org. You can get answers there, too, but the
info conference is a better choice, as many more people will see your question.

This cybersex thing is twisted.  I expect most people, except perverts,
will NOT find what they're looking for from a computer that I doubt will
be capable of simulating anything remotly similar to any sexual experiance for
eons.  (Excuse the wordy sentence)  I say this topic is pretty well toast.

Has anyone though what the effect of cyberspace will have on the
degradation of morality in general?  Killing won't be much fun anymore,
and it's a virtual hacker's playground, if you will excuse the pun.  I can
see people like me choosing VR as the reality of choice in the future. 
That scares me, 'cause I'm pretty emersed in the net right now....
(Currently in Mosaic, FTPing, and here as well.... for hours...)

        By the vehemence of the responses, here, I can see that c-sex,
like ANY other form of sex, is good for some, and not for others. If you
want to parade around, saying that it's unhealthy, though.. that's another
matter!
        Masturbation is *not* unhealthy. This has been shown time and again by
psychological studies. Why should masturbating, with computer-provided stimuli,
be considered any less healthy? And if you care to argue the health of "normal"
masturbation, then *I* won't even try to talk with you on this subject!
        Go study Human Sexuality, and *then* come back, and make an *informed*
statement.

i agree with selena but i think that c-sex can not realy exist untill you can
acutly see the person you are talking to and i have a strange feeling that that
will not ahpen for a long time!!!! well folks have fun with this VERY dead
topic and masturbate all you want!!!

The reality of the matter is that cyber-sex is here to stay. Right now, it is
confined to text-based messages on bbs's and chat rooms and the occasional
graphical interface. The thing that is still in its infancy is vr, and that is
simply a matter of obtaining/ building the proper hardware and software. To
consider the software concerns alone is mind boggling. I, for one, would not be
interested in repeating the same scenerio over and over again.

<now linked to the accordion conference>

haven't you guys had Any yet?

i could tell you all about  It.

This reminds me of an article I read in which
the author's premise was that online types
have no real life.  He asked one young man
age 24 or so if he had ever had sex with a
man or woman.  The young man thought a minute
and responded, "You mean in person?"

well you know in person it is Messy.
but i like that.

Messy doesn't even BEGIN to describe it. (If I recall correctly. Jeez.)

Recall?

That long ago, huh?

Juls, we *must* talk.

Either it's been faaaar too long ago, or the Alzheimer's has advanced
considerably.  Can't think what the hell good TALKING will do, Clynesdale,
would rather have a stiff shot of Irish aphrodisiac (and don't tell me
that's an oxymoron, even if it is).

Not an oxymoron.  A redundancy.

You wish, Paddy. (Didja hear the one about how all Irish women are
virgins before they get married, and all Irish men stay virgins AFTER?)

You are casting gratuitous aspersions on my race.  I am Irish.
I am married.  I am not now, nor have I ever been, a virgin.

Selena kicks ass.  

You're a credit to the accordioncy, S.

What does this topic have to do with accordions?

your keyboards are obviously a little too STICKY to post sensible responses.
cute blonds with big tits please email me ;)
or should that be ;)8< ?????
