Technology has let us experiment with sex and dating in ways wenever thought possible.

The Internet and cell phones have made sex more accessible thaneating green eggs and ham.

For one thing, instant messaging is convenient.

It allows me to talk to anyone I want, anywhere in the world inreal time and free of charge. Because I have tons of friends inEcuador, I am able to keep in touch with them.

But, chatting online can be very deceptive. You can receivemessages from users such as bigpimpin69: “I am six foot, have darkskin and light eyes with a foot long between my muscle-boundthighs.”

Who knows what that could mean?

But it also can give you the chance to act the way you alwayswanted to or say the things you always wanted to but never had theguts.

It gives a chance for ladies in the street to be freaks in thesheets.

Robin Hamman, author of “The Application of EthnographicMethodology in the Study of Cybersex,” says there are two forms ofcybersex. The first is interactive masturbation where the userstype instructions and descriptions of what they are doing to eachother. The second form is telling interactive sexual stories inwhich the users share sexual fantasies.

If you are looking for more than just sex and want to find love,there are online dating services that have been successful aidingpeople in finding a perfect match.

Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of the popular online datingservice eHarmony, says in his commercial that there are 29dimensions that create compatibility and play a key role in themost successful relationships. Warren says eHarmony uses thesedimensions to find the right matches for clients.

According to Jupiter’s Internet research, two out of fivesingles have tried online dating.

But some don’t seem to think it works.

“Cybersex is just another way for me to be rejected by women,”one guy complained to me.

Beatriz Avila Mileham, who studied online infidelity at theUniversity of Florida, says chatting online has just led morecouples to cheat.

Phone sex is a little more flexible than cybersex because cellphones allow us to “do it” anywhere.

Phone sex is a healthy way to communicate to your partner yourwants and desires.

But, be careful of bad reception: “Can you hear me now?Good.”

And with text-messages you can even have foreplay duringclass.

Both cybersex and phone sex are 100 percent safe — unless youare outside during a bad thunderstorm. There is no way to contractan STD from your keyboard/phone and you cannot get pregnant fromthe microwaves being transmitted.

If you don’t take any advice from anyone, take this from me:make sure you have a large hard drive and you’ll never bedisconnected.
