Virtual/Online Companions?

Do individuals really utilize this? I read an article that people use this service for conversations or just to have someone to talk to. Not for sexual interaction but because they are lonely or just enjoy the conversation.

Even back in the days of cybersex chat rooms, it was far more than just the sexual fantasy. I have made Internet chat friends around the world that have lasted decades, several of whom I have actually met in real life -- not for sexual or romantic purposes, but because of friendship and shared interests spanning age, geographic, cultural differences/experiences.
