Abstract: Theavailability, anonymity and accessibility of the Internet have made the compulsive behavior of cybersex and cyber affairs more common in America and the world.The Internet has enabled people to fulfill their sexual fantasies and to share the same with people in different parts of the world without having to experience the physical consequences of the relationship.This behavior has long been debated to be a case of sexual infidelity.The available literature that discusses the advantages and disadvantages of cybersex is inclined towards the perception that the activity has more significant cons than it does the pros.The disadvantages (and possible advantages) of cyber-sexual activity can be comfortably divided into three categories with moral, social and religious implications.However, on all levels, the behavior has more negative impacts than positive ones, most of which take a lot of time, energy and resources to reverse.Personality theories can be used to understand abnormal sexual behavior.With personality theories, solving the problems that arise out of cybersex activities for individuals of different ages and marital status becomes easier because of a traceable chain of cause and effect events.The extent to which personality and sexual abnormality are related is debatable but research shows that there is a significant correlation.The significance of this study in academics and personal use is related to the need for insight and regenerative production of data that is related to it.
