	As western society becomes more technologically dependant on [[computers]] and the [[Internet]], online social interaction is increasing exponentially. [[Internet friendship\|Online friendships]] via [[online chat\|chat]], [[message boards]], [[online personals]], [[blog\|blogs]], [[instant messenger\|instant messengers]], etc. between adults and children are becoming increasingly common, especially within the [[childlove\|boylover and girllover communities]]. While the majority of these interactions remain solely online, many result in [[real life]] contact. Opponents to this type of social interaction cite the only possible reasoning could be to what is referred to as '''"internet grooming"''' or '''"online grooming"''', that is, nurturing a relationship with malicious intent on the part of the adult. Most commonly, the participants of this social interaction view this claim as mere [[moral panic]], citing many situations online where positive relationships have been forged and built out of such communications. Mainstream response to this phenomenon has resulted in preventive measures to limit childrens' rights of communication on the net. For example, in 2003 MSN Chat was restricted to better protect children from what they called "inappropriate communication".

			According to thief of baghdad, "The issue of consent is always something the sex fascists have agonized over. But with the grooming idea they can sidestep. In other words, the victim was duped.
