In desperation I decided to try and find someone on an internet chat room. Terrifying. I found myself being confronted with moving images and being told to 'say hi to the stranger'. Most flick quickly past me. I think I wasn't conforming to etiquette by having my camera switched off. I see underwear, I see penises, I see a reclining figure in a sari with hairy arms. It does not seem like a salubrious meeting place. Eventually someone pauses on me for long enough to type a '?'. On the screen is the bottom half of a stubbled chin and a red T-shirt. It seems less intimidating than the previous fleeting encounters. I quickly respond. Here follows the transcript of my first online chat with a stranger.
