I heard of a new role play today I was not familiar with until today. I had seen on a friend of mines profile page on an adult social networking site that he was getting married to the woman of his dreams in less than a year and how happy they were and what a shame it was he was having to leave the site, but now that he’d found the love of his life, he didn’t need online fun anymore. Well like a fool I asked him about it and was told it was all fantasy, that some girl he had cyber sex with long term was into the whole let’s pretend we’re really getting married role play thing.
I have heard of many fantasies, and some clients have indeed asked me to marry them, but God help the poor delusional souls, they were serious, not playing out a fantasy. For him to actually post that on his page for others to see, I couldn’t believe he would go that far, yet indeed he did. I guess some take their cyber relationships and role plays very seriously indeed. I’m not quite sure what else is going to happen there, but I’d never seen anything presented in such a manner for others to be taken in by it. When ones have cyber or phone sex, it’s usually only the people doing it that are involved or know the details of it.
Fantasy can become incredibly real for many people. At least he and this girl are on the same page, some start to believe in a fantasy, but when the other person is not on board, that’s when “magical thinking” and delusions and possibly stalking come into play. Ones that suffer from erotomania can believe they have entire relationships going on with someone and the object of their affection can barely even know of their existence.
