Where Did We Go

is this what sex has come to

we don’t touch anymore 

instead we send each other 

virtual 

staged 

carefully 

crafted 

pictures 

of our naked bodies 

we meet through a screen 

we don’t see facial expressions 

we see grammar mistakes 

that bright light will murder our ability to connect 

with the living 

and the breathing.

The internet has brought with it so many advantages but also disadvantages. You speak of two people who have become disconnected and rewired through online communications. That in itself creates distance which if not corrected can become a different way of being in touch with each other, and that's not good.

The invisibility of that space when there's no warmth of skin, eye contact or intimacy is what will lead to silence on the other end, possibly for good.

This modern way of meeting people is false and sparks false connections. Can it bring anything real to the table? Can people be real at all anymore? I'm beginning to wonder...

Thanks for your input Relic.

You're welcome. Sex on the internet is a waste of time. And it's stupid too. No one is real when it comes to that.
