Instant noodles, instant coffee, instant sex! Microwavable relationships. Just warm them up at will. The emotional involvement is minimum because few regard such sex as infidelity. As long as you are only doing it on the phone or come back home for dinner, it isn't cheating. It serves as the forbidden experience for many to resist. This choice of making telephone friends has become like the black market—an alternate channel that you can always switch to, the temptations of which triumph over your will. Despite the fact that it may involve some risk.

RISKS INVOLVED
Telephonic friendship leading to personal partnerships may be the answer to your unrequited love but they could backfire miserably. The following risks could be involved.

1. If telephonic friendships lead to a personal encounter, you join the high-risk group of getting sexually infected.
2. What starts as a flirtatious encounter may end up being an addiction that snaps your touch with reality. And then, you develop a need for such calls even-day.
3. Since you play out certain forbidden fantasies with a phone partner, many feel things of inadequacy in your personal relationship can come to the surface. As a result, perfectly okay husband-wife relationships begin to appear dissatisfactory.
4. Since such encounters are 'hidden', they sometimes lead to guilt.
5. You don't need any registration to start a friendship club, since there arc no laws governing this. No one knows whether these clubs are on the right or wrong side of the law, which means anyone with a telephone connection, is equipped to float such a club. As a consequence, you may befriend the wrong person, who could blackmail you for an indefinite length of time, even if none of these things happens, there are always other questions: would they keep you consistently happy? Would you hold yourself in higher esteem? And most important of all: are you looking for quick fixes in life or are you willing to work upon mature, lasting relationships?

The debate still continues that is Dial a date sexy or sick?

It is certainly not a substitute for a fulfilling, loving relationship as there is no room for the important process of getting to know each other. It also leaves the door open for perverts too, to make these calls, who could exploit children who have easy access to the telephone. Someone who regularly indulges in it must seek therapy. It is a pointless exercise which could only end up being demeaning to the person indulging in it. People who indulge in this would surely lose the warmth and sensitivity of a real, normal, natural relationship. It is certainly safer than one-night stands. After all, you can't contract AIDS over the phone. But then, psychologically, it could be very damaging as it can turn addictive. Since no addiction goes on forever, it could bring a lot of dejection at some point.
