I met my wife in an mmo and the first 2 years of our relationship were online. After 3 years I moved to live near her. We have been together for about 18 or 19 years now so if you actually communicate it can work.
Yup, with a LD relationship like that, you have to fill in a lot of blanks about someone that you can't determine - how are they in the morning? Do they pick up after themselves? Do they have any gross habits? There's tonnes of little things that are entirely irrelevant in a remote setting but can really make a difference in person.
And naturally when you fill in those blanks, you tend to only fill them in with positives or you just don't think about all those little things.

Drive him from his land
Give him a ride, you say? Hmm, could be hot.
The sex is implied.
I have been to vr chat and its scary how quickly vr blends the lines of reality.
At what point does it stop being a video game and does it become a form of internet porn.
At what point does it ceases to be internet porn and does It become a relationship?
Many vulnerable people find their way to these places and we need more awareness about predators.
People in relationships need to become aware of these dynamics and at some point set boundaries as a couple.
On the flipside there are people who need cuddles but cannot stand physical contact.. from that perspective vr becomes a medical device.
I think vc is voice chat in this post.
Vr chat is full of cuddle rooms though.
Its Infinite digital space in the form off many small rooms crowded with anime characters sleeping on the floor, quite a sight.
I read it as video chat. But yeah you could be right.
He's kissing the mic, not the screen or camera
It's definitely Viet Cong.
What I have to say is anecdotal evidence.

Every woman has a boyfriend.
Maybe she's poly, who knows.
Maybe she was just cheating on her boyfriend over the Internet, who knows.
Maybe she was a dog. Who knows.
Maybe it's maybelline
It's not poly if you don't communicate that you're poly with the people you're saying.
Why not? That sounds like a vegan rule: you're not vegan unless you tell people you're vegan.
It's about consent of the other parties involved.
I think that's what people call "ethical non-monogamy".
Polyamory is a type of ethical non-monogamy.
I think atro's point is that non-ethical polyamory can exist. It shouldn't be done, but can, and is still a type of polyamory.
I mean, yeah you can do polyamory in an unethical way. But it isn't really polyamory if the poly part is a secret to the people involved.
Marriage is a type of ethical monogamy.
Oh I know plenty of married polyamorous people.
Wish them all the best.
