Rozin, V. M. Sex and Love on the Internet or the Two Opposite Personalities of a Modern Outcast

Abstract: The article is devoted to the situation of sexual relations typical for Russian and foreign outcasts. The author of the article discusses social conditions (such as new communication media, hedonistic orientations, moral crisis and etc.) allowing them to sell their bodies and feelings and remain a usual member of a society at the same time. The author makes an assumption that many of them suffer from duality in personality and discusses evidences of this hypothesis. Even if their sexual relations are not pathological, marginal love has various and quite negative consequences for their intimate relations. This kind of ‘love’ stimulates the second personality and makes human live in his dream world because this kind of ‘love’ destroys usual intimate relations and life. The author also appeals to late Foucault’s views and touches upon the ethical issues arising in connection with this topic.
