Reading Response 5/31

race gender and sex on the net-semantic
Question:
Is the idea of going on vacation to have sex a form of identity tourism that can be disconnected from your real life? Or do these actions on the internet effect the way a person lives their real life?

This article made me really think of if you can really be one person on the internet and then a whole different kind of person in real life. The ability to go on vacation and receive sexual favors from random women and then go home to your wife and kids like nothing happened seems to not be possible, but when reading this article i started to think that is the stance they were taking. This article focused a lot on the ability to do whatever you want on the internet or vacation and then go home and go on with your regular life. I don't think that is the truth, any action, whether it is on the internet or in real life effect they way a person acts and lives from that point forward. Sex and traveling should not be looked at as a seperate personality or lifestyle on the internet. The actions that people take follow them wherever they go, even if those actions were internet or travel based.
