By making it easier to avoid interactions when they do not want them, and to detach themselves from the sexual act, this anonymity has a tendency to put people on a slippery slope to greater degrees of risk-taking behavior. Online infidelity means different things to different people. For some couples, viewing porn online is infidelity; others only feel that way about cybersex. People in relationships tend to rationalize that this online intimacy with strangers does not make them unfaithful, because they never had a physical meeting. But the feelings, and the damage, can be just as authentic.
