WOW!!! This is mind-blowing! I think it could be dangerous for some and perfectly fab and healthy for others, depending on their emotional states and overall needs. If you're too busy with life stuff or your life is in flux, this could be a nice option to give you the feeling of a bit of flirty companionship. But if you're emotionally needy and desperate for "your other half" this could be dangerous.

Fascinating stuff - thanks so much for this interesting submission, Christine!
