Cybersex, Human Sexuality and Degeneration

In this paper, the author will explicate the complex phenomenon of cybersex. As one of the innovations of contemporary man, the emergence of cybersex has radically transformed our existential eyeglasses in perceiving reality. More importantly, it poses revolutionary challenges to subjectivity, human sexuality, and social responsibility. Firstly, the nature of cybersex will be discussed. As a virtual engagement between persons, the cyber language processed, and anonymity and gender-play practiced in the cyberspace, engender sexual gratification and transcendence from socio-moral norms. Secondly, critical issues on cybersex involving the human person such as debasement of the person and degeneration of values, will be explained. Lastly, an ethical evaluation of cybersex will be elucidated. In line with this, the author will exemplify that cybersex, in rendering the totalization of the person, obstructs his/her self-fulfillment and authentic relations hence obliterating the very essence of community formation.
