Well, it's pretty much exactly what you're doing except it's live and you have to know your audience well enough to navigate what they enjoy, figure out the words they don't like hearing, particularly for the naughty bits, and... yeah. It's basically like a live writing performance that you two are both taking part in.

EDIT: People upvoting... you know what I'm talkin' 'bout. ;)

I've found that it was pretty good but it requires a good imagination and decent writing prose. If you're a good enough writer, cyber's as good as anything as long as your partner's up to snuff too. The time it takes to respond and wait for responses back along with it just taking longer in general means that I find the experience quite like edging for a long while before getting off, so I've had really good experiences with it, some quite a lot better than being IRL with someone. But again, it's all pretty dependant upon who you have as a partner.

By the way, I'm not comparing it to writing, cybersex is writing by definition. It is pretty strictly having sex over a... textual medium like IRC or chatrooms, etc... Skype video doesn't fit in there... so that might be why brain asplode.

I wouldn't call it cybersex, but I'm old school so...
