email.
3. The state or quality of being romantically and/or sexually aroused or enticed by another person's use of written words, as in an
email.
4. The possession of sexual character or potency as expressed written words.
5. Preoccupation with or involvement in sexual matters through the use of words.

Note: Writing
email replaces certain
people's need for romantic and sexual yearning, for the longing to be understood and appreciated, and to hear from someone one considers "special." The
Internet provides a semi-private, if not secret, means to be intimately in touch with another person at a secure distance without the commitment of physical contact. With the fear of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the taboo of promiscuity, emailing provides a safe haven.
