online requires a lot of imagination, and an extreme amount of honesty and open-mindedness...but, really, it is what you make of it. does it replace face-to-face? no. the two are not, and never will be, anything alike. but, yes, it can be intense when done right and with the right person. i discovered this the hard way, lol...i was once a skeptic as well.

good luck on furthering your journey.
