I've got to disagree with Oz here. Yes, reading porn online is akin to reading a Playboy or watching a DVD. But, to my mind, cyber involves interaction like chatting. And the back and forth stimulation is more than just impersonal fantasy--it is can be incredibly intimate. Heck, I know folks who have more sex online than they do with the partner they live with and, even though they try to offer excuses, they know it is cheating when they do it.
Laffin because we're gonna end up arguing over the degree to which a particular activity constitutes "impersonal fantasy"

I know the following question is out there on the edge of hyperbole, but isn't using a prostitute pretty impersonal? Just the rental of warm flesh, perhaps never to be encountered again.

Okay... so what are the rules going to be as computers get more and more ubiquitous, as we get more and more comfortable... and there will be new ways for people to interact online.

Ultimately it will all depend on what you expect of monogamy.
