Another thing people do here is masturbate. Almost all men and some women too. Cyber-fucking occurs but it is always advisable to wear a condom.

To see and to be seen, of course! Lord knows it ain't happening in "real life"....

It's great here, have meet many great friends some in real life. My wife and I Skype (No sex stuff) regularly with some members. My only advice is to watch people claiming to be ( smiley glad-hands) as I have found they all have hidden agendas.

But like I said there are so many great people here. Have fun

A plethora of things can be had here on STD/SYC/SIO .Its a place where you can show and view all aspects of the human body . Even show pics of your hobbies. Talk about and get information on all manner of subjects .Show how compassionate and caring you can be to members who have hit hard times .Tell jokes anecdotes .Put your favorite tune or poem up .Get information on how things work and whats the best tips on how to do it .Make friends and sometimes enemies.I see SYD/SYC/SIO as a sort of retreat a place were you can visit and put your cares and worries to one side for a while and be in the company of like minded folk.

After 6 years I still cannot figure out what kind of people come to this site. I tried to position is as adult image sharing site, as nudists site, as sex chat, as adult dating, as adult forum, but no matter what I do people seem to register randomly and most of time seem to have no idea what they want.

Some people found friends here, few found sex partners, I even heard of couple of cases when people found their long-term partners here. Yet, the majority seem to find nothing and close their accounts in quite short time.

I think there is a slightly stronger tendency to cybersex after all. Fantasies and masturbation kind of thing. That's why a lot of profiles are fake, using internet pics instead of their own, despite that they are reported sooner or later and banned.

What draws people here? Some like to look, some like to chat and explore fantasies and yes, offsite friendship does occur. I hope that SYD meets and exceeds your expectations.

The friendships I made here in the years I've been here are the most important reason I'm here right now. When I signed up I was basically just looking to get off one way or another but I quickly found that forming friendships is rather easy here. I have a feeling the majority of people are here for some sort of 'cybersex', but as Bella! has stated, people are here for all sorts of reasons, really.

I agree with bella! I think it is really what you want it to be. Share what you would like, chat and flirt with who you want, but mainly have fun doing it

I came for the photos of dicks (and I still like that aspect of the site and I still look at them), but I stay for the exchange of thoughts and ideas here on the Forum and for the friendships I have formed with other members. I think that it is telling that when I sign on to the site I click on the Forum before I click on Recent Posts. And it's always a treat to sign on and find that I have new Private Messages waiting.

Most of the friendships I have made have remained cyber, but with regular exchanges of messages, but I have met one member in person (not for sex, but for socialization and camaraderie). I have been to his home and have even met his mother and been to her home. Long time members who know me know who this member is.
