I think that many of the cyberaffairs--regardless of whether they are consummated in the 3D world--are a sort of escape. People who are unhappy in their marriages already, for whatever reason, can project all manner of wonderful qualities onto a cyberlover; those marriages, I suspect, were already vulnerable to a breaking up. I, myself, know of several of these. Others, however, seem quite harmless. More on the order of a flirtation between consenting adults who have no interest in moving the relationship further and reminiscent of correspondences of the past. The predators frighten me. Some do not even mean to cause the harm that they do, not realizing that they are, in fact, preying on the emotionally needy. And some are quite intentional, particularly those who go after teens.
