The era of high technology affects human individuality, whether we like it or not. Even such a feeling as mutual love can exist in the virtual world. The virtual romance is becoming a fashion fad. What do we deprive ourselves of, plunging into the romance of virtual relationships? And what do we get?
Instructions
Step 1
Computers have become a common item in the home. Sometimes we are without the Internet - like without hands: look at a recipe, find out the way in another city, find the book you need … Internet addiction is a newfangled disease that has affected the population of the planet from young to old. It has long been noticed that the more comfortable life becomes, the higher the level of technology, the more lonely a person feels among the "miracle technology" in his own home. Alienation is becoming commonplace in the family, and in society as a whole. It is difficult to overcome it - and life does not force one to do this, the issue of survival does not force people to seek support in each other, many are self-sufficient. A holy place is never empty. And in the sea of social networks, from VKontakte to online role-playing games, lonely people are looking for a ghostly virtual happiness.
Step 2
Emotions
One of the diseases that hit the modern world is a decrease in the level of emotions. No wonder they say - "woe from the mind." The higher the intellect, the less pronounced the emotional component in a person's perception. "I'm bored, devil!" - said Faust once, who knew the world with the help of a hypertrophied intellect.
One of the reasons many people greedily seek virtual romantic relationships is to enrich their inner world with emotionally charged experiences. Love, falling in love is the most powerful means for this. And if you consider that in modern families, everyday life often "eats up" romance, and it is not possible for many to diversify their emotional life with meetings with a real person - a virtual romantic story becomes an outlet.
Step 3
Physiology
It is believed that virtual love relationships do not relate to real family life. Is virtual flirting so harmless? Whether a person wants it or not, romantic emotions are inextricably linked with the psychosexual principle, and therefore with human physiology. Timid sympathy at first can develop into a passion for a person "on the other side of the monitor." Kinship of souls, real or imagined, sooner or later leads to the fact that in virtual relationships there is a pronounced sexual attraction. Induced or not, it is quite real. The desire for sexual contact with a virtual partner is common. Therefore, "pretend love" can turn into a real obsession. The only question is how it will affect the relationship with a real partner. In some cases, this "refreshes" emotions in real relationships, and in some cases it can serve as a trigger for a break, disappointment in a real partner. Moreover, if the relationship with him leaves much to be desired. After all, the virtual partner seems ideal, has nothing to do with everyday difficulties, is devoid of shortcomings in our imagination that can annoy in everyday life. Endowing, in the imagination, the virtual beloved with the desired features, we thereby turn him into an object not only of "emotional attraction", but also of a real, physiologically expressed, sexual desire.
Step 4
Reality
Experiences, even virtual ones, can give a person such emotions as joy, love, happiness, a feeling of non-loneliness. It is no secret that virtual sex for many is becoming even more preferable than real sex, which requires enormous physical and mental costs. How will a real partner perceive such a phenomenon? If he is not indifferent to the one with whom he shares real life - virtual sex of the "second half" can become offensive to him, and be regarded as a real betrayal. If two people are not connected in reality by love, and indifference to each other, both mentally and sexually, has already corroded the relationship - the virtual love affairs of the "second half" will not be perceived as something out of the ordinary. But this, as they say, is another topic. And here a situation of choice arises: to prefer to translate virtual romantic relationships into a real plane - or to be content with electronic "emotional injections", leading the old life, living side by side with a person who is indifferent to you.
In any case, a virtual romance is a chance to find that partner with whom real love is possible. Or, at least, the opportunity to somehow brighten up existence, if true, real love for some reason left your life, your home and family
