Excerpt from the Book
Impact of virtual sex on emotions
Although virtual sex can be a boon for disabled if used lawfully, sometimes it can be damaging too. Virtual dating often ends up in virtual chat rooms or virtual sex rooms. This is emotionally damaging because for fun you perform virtual sex with multiple partners in that virtual sex room and start developing trust issues in real life with your partner. If you are single than making long-term relationships like marriage becomes difficult due to fear of being cheated or due to your emotional level where you disobeyed natural human nature and indulged in unlawful ways of sex. It becomes difficult for that person to trust people and establish permanent bonds with anyone. Precisely, it can be said that virtual sex is a threat to real intimacy. The partners are unfaithful online and so in real life results can be easily predicted.
Many a times such relationships are anonymous, and people can move from one partner to another casually. If the person is married then due to virtual relationship, that person will take less interest in real-time sexual act. Their sleep pattern may be affected like sleeping late or waking up very early. He / she might be spending lot of time on electronic devices/ gaming/ apps. Your spouse may be different or moodier and starts to avoid parental responsibilities or job-related responsibilities. These signs imply that the person is having cyber affair [4]. Your partner/spouse might be emotionally unstable and might often lie to you and show very little enthusiasm while having sex with you. You should not feel responsible for your partner’s senseless act of virtual sex. Such emotionally damaging relationship should be strictly dealt with. People who opt for virtual sex love gadgets and not people. It’s easy for them to move from one virtual partner to another virtual partner. Such relationships are not permanent and can be emotionally damaging in real-time.
