I am not surprised. In this era of modern technology, people can establish a relationship through the use of various social networking platforms. I don't see anything wrong in doing that if the relationship is based on love and not just sexual lust. The best advice that I can give to people in such relationships is to ensure the use of condoms when having sex. If they want to have children, they can go for HIV testing before making such a decision. It's a global village and people should fall in love with whoever they want whether its via facebook or any other platform. Viva Facebook, the amazing connector!

I agree with Godsway Shumba and I certainly don't think that social networking platforms are to be seen as places to seek sex.
In the case of the anonymous posting above, the two had been communicating for a year...and that seems to be enough lead time to get to know each other, so their decision to become intimate should not be surprising. Of course, it would be important for them to be sexually safe with condom use, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong there.
Facebook is what you make it for yourself. if you enter the arena with a carnal mind, then that is where you will stay...and those are the relationships you will seek.
If you are interested in promoting your agenda - be it community building or a profitable venture, then Facebook works well for that too.
It seems a bit narrow-minded to consider Facebook as Sexbook. Users do as they wish and there is a very wide variety of users.
For example: I just linked with a project via a Facebook group. It is called the Namuwongo Literacy Project and I plan to volunteer in Uganda this summer to teach elementary school.
All this happened on Facebook...and I do not see anything 'sexy' or promiscuous about that.
Perhaps the friends of the above writer should join and look for similar projects to become involved in...
