According to observers studying the activities of young Arabs on the social network¬ing website Facebook, Arab youth use the prominent site to communicate with the opposite sex. Such researchers note that while motivated by sexual desire, this mode of communication is not limited to Arab networks or cyberspace; rather, it transcends national boundaries. However, sex is neither the single reason young Arabs connect on Facebook, nor is it their sole interest. Rather, sex is only one of many manifesta¬tions of their cultural presence on the social networking website. Although the interest in sex might be the initial reason one segment of young Arab users joins Facebook, its importance diminishes quickly, giving way to a more complicated and serious interest departing from social relations founded on sexual desire. In other words, to say young Arabs’ use of Facebook is solely dedicated to sex and romance is an extreme abbreviation of the relations they establish on the widely used website.
