Would you consider an intimate online relationship?
April 17, 2011 5:07pm CST
Just wondering because sometimes I engage in, er... *intimate* acts online. They are all strictly business and I do not consider them a relationship. On the other hand, on the same website, I have many friends, whom I actually consider friends, a sort of interpersonal relationship.
What about you? Would you have an intimate relationship with someone on the internet? If so, would it be a relationship... or just physical?

I'd sure consider a relationship with you if you are up to it. Sounds like something we could do as part of our study ;)
Id hope it would become physical to a point of wonderful enjoyment!

Coming from somone who has had mutiple online relationships, you should GO for it. Yet if you do there are a few things you should know.
In my personal case i am one who gets into a lot of relationships, and each and every one of them i try my hardest to make them as physical as possible becuse of the connection that is made.
With online relationships, when learning who they are it is almost easier than in real life becuse your behind a computer screen you feel as if you could put anything down and have a little less anxiety than being face to face. Yet as the relationship progresses the problem starts to be that you want to see them or they want to see you and somtimes thats not always possible.
In result my advice is to take it as it comes, somtimes they work out evan better than face to face relationships yet on the other hand somtimes they turn out much worse

Mental intimacy? Maybe, if I know that the person across is the same one that gave me joy, but then there is no way to determine - the website must be having a number of standby's with the same handle (username) to be able to service repeat visitors.
Is it really intimacy, or just getting ones rocks off? I think the real meaning of intimacy is quite different. Well, different strokes for different folks, and all's okay as long as no else gets adversely effected by the acts.
All the de best! May you have multiple pleasures at a time!

I am 30 and still single. But I will consider online relationships as long as it is true. Nevermind me, I am still single. He...he
Some people do get married on the courtship of internet. I have a friend who know his husband through a business website.

hello there strawberry karina. welcome to mylot! for me I would not consider having an intimate relationship in the internet. I think I do not want to invest emotions like that or time. I just want to earn from the internet and I do have a boyfriend whom I love so much and I dont want to break his trust.

Hello StrawberryKarina,
Welcome to mylot.
I am single now so i could do it, probably. But when i was into a relationship, i have noticed i can't do that when i am committed to someone. Just makes me feel quite awkward. Well, i suppose it depends from person to person. But i don't seem to find anything wrong with it, i mean you are not doing anything physically but then your mind is involved, and when i think about it, i just can't do it. Not a thing for me, i guess.

Welcome to the mylot community Strawberry karina. this is an interesting topic but an online relationship is just differerent than in the real world. You can't have the intimate contact with another person on line. it might be exciting for a while but the virtual world just can't compare with the the real one. Take care!

HI StrawberryKarina, and a warm welcome to you to myLot.
Hey if you are okay with it no one but you has a say. As for me though I cannot. This is something I am and will not be comfortable with. Currently I am in a committed live together relationship now for almost 6 years. Even if I was not it is not something I can do either in a relationship online or physical. See I need to have someone near me and online is not something that I can fully feel close to. I have a friend who is and she is happy.
Best of luck to you and see you around the Lot!
