By using in-depth interview, this paper tries to describe how people understand their love life in cyberspace and what the relationship they think between their virtual life and the real life. It critically discusses intimate relation online from three perspectives. First, it concerns the great changes that the new electronic media takes to us and especially what new the Internet takes to us compared with television. Second, it introduces the social life in virtual community where the digital love takes place. Third, it discusses whether a strong intimate relationship can take place in virtual space.
This study finds Internet can sustain strong emotion among people. The relation between virtual couples is not ¡° pure relationship¡±. ¡°Fun¡± and feeling of ¡° happiness¡± during the process are two primary motivations for cyber-love. It is difficult for people to clearly separate virtual world and real world. Whether or not the people¡¯s love life is completely online, they don¡¯t look the virtual life as their whole life.
