There are a lot of pervs on the internet. Yes, it’s great tool for sharing information, making new friends and keeping in touch with old ones, but there’s a lot of porny stuff out there as well (and that’s not even taking into account ‘the darknet‘). Amongst all the Wikipedia articles, TV Tropes index pages, Twitter posts and Facebook shite, there’s a lot of content involving many phrases that your mother would – and probably should – have no idea about.
Everybody has their fetish, be it a busty, voluptuous lady or a handsome, sexy guy – or more unusually – some like sexy cartoons, others are into furries and a select few are into balloons (seriously, we’re not making this up), but one of the most common on the web is sex chat. Perhaps it’s the highly-anonymous nature of the activity or the way that saucy messages can be received and responded to instantaneously, but it’s a favoured form of online sexy time for a lot of people.
This form of textual intercourse has pervaded all areas of the internet, MMOs included. You’ll find it everywhere, even in World of Warcraft (the infamous Deeprun Tram incident is a prime example of people engaging in sex chat in online games). And why not? After all, it’s just another expression of a natural aspect of human behaviour.
