Cyber

Cybering, or cybersex, is a form of roleplaying in which two or more participants send erotic messages to one another; this is usually for the purpose of sexual arousal, though occasionally it will be done as part of a larger, more legitimate roleplay.

Gaia and Cybering
Cybering is strictly prohibited by the Gaia Online Terms of Service and often frowned upon within the community; such an attitude exists because of the threat posed by sexual predators. However, it is generally assumed that cybering is more or less common in certain circles; specifically, in Personal Messages and Chatterbox threads.

There are several forms and styles cybering may take, from short, to-the-point posts (often laden with internet slang) to long, in-depth messages from both partners.
