Cybersex

Cybersex is sexual interaction conducted through internet-connected devices, using forms such as erotic messages, voice or video, and shared sexual content.

Sexting: The sending or receiving of sexually explicit messages, images, or videos through digital devices. A text- and image-based form of cybersex that can occur without live interaction.
Long-distance relationship: A romantic relationship in which partners live far enough apart that in-person contact is limited. Partners may use cybersex to sustain sexual intimacy across distance.
Revenge porn: The nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, often by someone seeking to punish or control the person depicted. It shows how intimate material shared during cybersex can be misused after trust breaks down.
Cybersexism: Sexist attitudes and conduct expressed through digital technologies. Despite the similar name, it concerns online sexism rather than sexual interaction between participants.
Webcam sex: Sexual interaction conducted live through internet-connected cameras and microphones. Live video and audio make this form of cybersex more synchronous and visually intimate.
Phone sex: Sexual interaction conducted by voice over a telephone or similar audio connection. It shares mediated intimacy with cybersex but does not require internet access.
Image-based sexual abuse: The nonconsensual creation, distribution, or threatened distribution of intimate images. It encompasses harms that can follow the recording or sharing of cybersex.
Virtual reality sex: Sexual interaction mediated by virtual-reality environments and devices. It is a more immersive, spatially simulated form of digitally mediated sexual interaction.
Text-based role-playing: Collaborative storytelling in which participants write characters’ actions and dialogue through text. Erotic role-play can create sexual interaction without sharing images or live video.
Sex work: The consensual exchange of sexual services or performances for payment or other material benefit. Some online sexual performances are provided as paid work.
