“When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” — Albert Einstein.
He was a man who truly appreciated “fantasy” — a word which conjures up images as unique as the mind which nurtures them. Fantasies are the single defining element in a multi- billion dollar sex industry. Fantasies banish fear while promoting expression…They are free, easy, and limitless. As a result, real life usually pales in comparison. So are fantasies a good thing? Do they really have purpose beyond ensuring a more rapid orgasm?
For many, fantasies bridge the gap intimacy issues might have created over the years.

Nutty screen names denote wild personalities and offer revealing character insights. In all aspects of the cyber-romance scene, parties involved are consenting to be in the same space, with no monetary incentive. There are also chat rooms where people are looking for “true love”…essentially personal ads. As with traditional personal ads, there are pros and cons to this scenario. While it allows people to speak candidly and without fear of recrimination about their most basic needs, it can be – and often is – an elaborate “web” of deceit. Worse case scenarios have involved children, such as the luring of a child out of state by someone with criminal intent.
