Internet Games

I have an acquaintance who is overly zealous in Internet chat rooms. He talks a good talk and boasts a good boast. Not wanting to disappoint, he scans in slightly enhanced photos of himself removing a wrinkle here and there and adding an inch or two where it matters most. Through the use of his savvy computer skills he has met dozens, no make that hundreds of mates throughout the country. Luckily he has a bit of wealth on his side and can afford to fly cross-country to meet his computer-enhanced dates. Neither seems to mind that the other person is shorter, or older, or less endowed than promised -- just one of those humps in the road of life I suspect. But is a random hump enough? To what lengths is a person willing to go for a little carnal gratification? For some it's the end of their arm, for others it's as far as their frequent flier miles will carry them. Is it okay to sow your oats from coast to coast, or is that considered selfish and unhealthy? What if all parties involved know the rules and play the game safely? Still selfish. . . or are some just being savvy and enhancing their own moral beliefs by knocking the way others play?
