Saying that
cybersex is a kind of sex
is similar to saying
phone sex is a kind of sex
oral sex is a kind of sex
anal sex is a kind of sex
group sex is a kind of sex
or
penguin is a kind of bird
It seems pretty uncontroversial...
It's true that cybersex is a kind of sex, albeit that it has certain
exceptional characteristics. Just like a penguin is a bird with
special properties.
So I think the trouble is in step 4.
