peple have sex as nonhuman characters, for example, as animals on FurryMUDs.
Some enjoy sex with one partner. Some use virtual reality as a plae
to experiment with group situations. In real life, such behavior
(where possible) can create enormous practical adn emotional confusion.

in significant complications. Different people and different couples
deal with them in very different ways." (224)
