Making a love connection online?

Whether looking for a longterm lover or just a one night stand, the online world has been a boon for gay men the world over. You no longer have to leave your house -- hell, you don't even have to shower -- to go trolling for a local guy to meet, date, or marry.

Yes, there are issues unique to meeting on the Internet. Pictures of cocks outnumber actual faces. The man who claims to be 27 is more often than not 72. And "swimmer's build" only guarantees that the guy can float. Still, some of us continue to log on, not just for instant sex, but in hopes of finding a partner in life.
