Naturally some of you see the connections between this act and reading pornographic stories. But consider this: A recent girlfriend of mine discovered cybersex after we'd been going out for a while. She was immediately hooked, and her monthly internet access bill sometimes exceeded three hundred dollars. Now, how am I supposed to react? Do I equate this mentally with her going out and buying a pornographic novel? Or do I equate this we her cheating on me over and over again with multiple partners? Should I break up with her over this, or treat it as simply one of her personal sexual foibles, as if she masturbated? Of course, there are no easy answers.
