I was once had this feeling that internet will be of great help. Indeed after several years of success, the internet has become mainstream source of information, communication, entertainment, and several like data transfer, and lot more. Few years back, the development of real time chatting has become its latest development, and its social effects are quite remarkable. Some introvert learned to engage in social networking activities and able to find place quiet for themselves yet socially interactive. For extraordinarily extrovert, all social networking sites have become their nucleus in social relationship expansion. Game enthusiasts have also found fun and adventure on the internet. The world, each corner seemed have gotten totally connected. No wonder that love, affection, support, disgust, happiness, remorse, relationship, friends and lovers can be found in every wire connecting the complicated system and life of the internet space.

The content of the article tries to challenge the minds of the readers in digesting what could have been the current behavior and activities within the internet sphere especially when one engages to internet relationship. Internet relationships does not only contain to love affair, but more of a social relationship expansion by way of chatting, blogging, and many other activities such as eyeball (EB). Based on my personal experiences in chatting or internet hopping, the vulnerability of a person to temptation no matter how adept his/his skill in dealing with it seemed to be in question. However, I can’t speak for the rest since many factors could affect the way we deal with our own unique encounter. But what am sure is that temptations will remain temptation and men remain vulnerable.

The internet in character is highly interactive nowadays, but its openness seemed to be ironic as we look into the way men behave in reality. The players must learn deception technique in order to deal with the way internet sphere is created. Again, this observation is not generic as each unique encounter differs from one to another. But the point is that, no matter how true we are in the things we say, tell to other in the internet world, there leaves a blot of doubt in both character. This cannot be denied as one always tries to support a statement in a confirmation manner. Thus, vulnerability to deception is in question.

It cannot be denied that after this development, the internet has become the offshoot of another type of relationship. Since the option for relationship expansion has gone wider the overall relationships issues such as infidelity, jealousy, sexual indulgence, even relationship coercion, and all the rest that have to do with relationship build up and break up have also gone wider. It is a simulation effect, and everyone is vulnerable to it.

Based on the readers’ opinion, personal safeguarding is one way we can best protect ourselves from the endearing world of internet. However, if we look into the character of the way internet relationships are affecting us. Sometimes we have the tendency to loose rational judgment; in fact it cannot be a problem if no one was once a victim. Thus, the preceding statement suggests a logical proposition by saying that we can only avoid it if we always think rational. But men are often irrational in love, lust and relationships. I can’t however suffice the preceding statement further since more or less this is based on my personal judgment as well as personal observation of the way men are behaving in the internet world. It is quite odd to speculate on things. But more or less, the statement is challenging men to be aware of his decision, the relation it build and his/her tendencies in the realm of internet.

The moral argument between sexual fantasizing in the internet world and fidelity is much more inviting. Since fantasies and sexual urges are motivating factor for men to do good things or indulge to sinful act. Then it builds a dilemma because of its conflicting effect, we cannot really tell whether fantasies and urges are bad or good only through its outcome. A fantasy may be a positive or negative experience, or even both. It can reflect past experience and influence future sexual encounters. In the internet (chatting), this is dominant and widely observable. The moral problem with sexual fantasies in the internet is that when a woman who has a husband or the otherwise involves to it. Is it morally practical to say that the outcome of fantasy is right when example; woman gets more sexually attractive to her husband when she fulfills her sexual fantasies with internet buddies and friends or the other way around for men. Is this infidelity, or just a mere act of sexual fantasy? I cannot even answer the question with exact conviction of rightness or wrongness; this depends on the result or outcome. When relationship between couples is blatantly affected by this activity, it may immoral but when one satisfies his/her personal need without compromising relationship, then it maybe morale. But then again, a more deep excavation of moral principle is necessary to judge an act of fantasy on its virtue and its up to you to decide.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who read the article the ones who posted their thoughts, the one who benefited from discussion and the ones who just stumbled upon and thought about it and the ones that got an eye leveled. Your reactions were normal.
