This book is best read as the third in Cleo's series of rich yet exotic life experiences. As with the other two books, here we have a woman whose looks and charm have allowed her to squeak through a whole host of interesting experiences that, by now, should have left her dead, diseased, or incapacitated. But fortunately for us, we have this MUD & VR-centric collection of experiences that are refreshing, fun and immersive from this woman's community-centric point of view - and a very honest take on the (intended and unintended) hypocricies of love online.

It is very remarkable for you to write so frankly about something that is contrary to "our everyday lifestyle", and do it so well. Your books have been very interesting to read and Sex and the Cyber Citizen has proven your talent as a writer once again. Cleo keep em coming. Thanks.

It is remarkable and inspiring when an author can write with such honesty. Amusing and poignant, this book is ultimately a fascinating look into virtual worlds that few people understand the full extent of. She writes like an adult for other adults, unlike so many other books about the internet. A wonderful book...

Cleo Odzer, Phd, proves that in America these days, almost anyone with a pulse can call themselves a "Phd." Her writing style is dull, and her honesty doubtful - but her choice of subjects are always interesting.

As a psychologist specializing in sexuality, I found this book not at all qualifying as a professional offering. Odzer gives us pornography herself, and justifies it by her "analysis." Cybersex isn't normal sex, its symptomatic of loneliness and isolation, and often addiction. Readers shouldn't be reassured, but rather helped to take a look at what is missing from their social and love lives. Anyone who does more than take an occasional look at cyberporn should be worried.
