cybersex - technical definition

The online equivalent of a telephone sex line, with two differences. First, it typically takes place in a chat room or IRC channel. Second, it is almost always a non-paid conversation between consenting adults. However, role playing is common, so you never know if you are speaking with a male, female, teenager or senior citizen.

Of course, if an under-age child takes part in the conversation, this can present a problem. Fortunately, parents can install programs that block access to most cybersex sites. See parental control software and CyberDildonics.
