Cybersex is defined as the equivalent of phone sex with the communication happening online. It is a form of role playing where two, or more, people send one another sexually explicit messages.

In 2001 Jennifer Schneider and Robert Weiss published Cybersex Exposed: Simple Fantasy or Obsession? The book deals with Internet sexual addictions and, according to the authors, the addiction that for some people cyber sex has become. These Internet sex addictions pose the question of how exactly can cybersex be read in the context of Roboculture.

Internet cheating implies that it is emotional cheating on a partner versus physical cheating that clearly due to the computer barrier is unable to exist. This leads to the question of who the cheating is with. One of the allures of cybersex is that it is anonymous. Ultimately a person does not know who she or he is chatting with and sharing his or her sexual fantasies causing it to be a vacuum of space where no one but works exists. Considering the anonymity, is the Internet affair them with a human or with the computer which expresses human-like fantasies?

Technology here has clear intervened in the romance between people, instead substituting it with anonymous words which appear on the computer screen.
