An erotic communication between two people online via text, audio or video. The earliest cybersex was chat room text, and role playing was easy because nobody saw the other party. A 50-year-old man could pretend to be an 18-year-old boy or girl. Cybersex evolved to texting explicit images and ultimately to "virtual sex" with participants watching each other online. See
sexting and
teledildonics.

Cybersex can be a part of multiplayer, online games. Using an avatar, people communicate with each other erotically, and there are games that specialize in cybersex role playing. See
parental control software.
