Talk:Virtual sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The reference to "being a cyborg" is confusing and seems to be unfounded. If the author of that would refer to one or more specific psychologists it could be retained. Otherwise I'd prefer to remove it.JimD 23:32, 2004 Apr 22 (UTC)
- In an HTML comment, Tillwe suggests I may be thinking of Donna Haraway. I should look it up sometime.
- If you do remove it from the article, please move it here for safekeeping. Thanks. Martin 00:46, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- opponents branding it as a form of pornography
Umm, it is a form of pornography. Isn't this just a fact, rather than something that needs attributing? Martin 17:38, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Well, a transcript of a cybersex "scene" would certainly be pornographic. However, if we consider cybersex to be a sexual activity ... is copulation "a form of pornography?" Is fellatio done by people in meatspace a form of pornography? I don't think so. The activity is distinct from its representation in some medium. Even when a voyeur watches a group of exhibitionists it's not generally considered "pornography."JimD 18:06, 2004 Apr 23 (UTC)

- Ahh, of course - virtual sex only becomes pornography if it is recorded and then re-viewed (where the re-viewing is for sexual purposes). Good point. Martin 21:47, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
