An Online Diversion

A chat room or chatroom is an online site in which people can chat online (talk by broadcasting messages to people on the same site in real time). Sometimes these venues are moderated either by limiting who is allowed to speak (not common), or by having moderation volunteers patrol the venue watching for disruptive or otherwise undesirable behavior.
Some people who visit chat rooms use them as a place to experience online sex, also known as cybersex. While not physically able to see their partner, cyber-ers apparently get stimulation by reading x-rated quotes. While many in the media focus on this aspect of chat rooms as it certainly boosts their ratings, it is by no means the only thing chat rooms are used for.
For gay chat Manfusion.com is a popular online resource for single men to find like minded others who want a little online diversion.
