This.
I would also add; I'm not even sure about the emotional disconnect. People do get attached online and there are countless examples of wrecked marriages because one party started a "harmless" online flirt, fell in love with said person and ended up in a very real bed with them.

Even if it never go that far; it carries the risk and - ultimately - it hurts the existing partner.

It is essentially cheating and I would never, ever tolerate it.
