Benefits? You can make tons of friends and share your feelings without much feeling of embarassment. Also, you can find others who share your interests much more easily.
Drawbacks? Well, for one, since you've probably never met these people, there is almost always an initial feeling of doubt as to who they really are and whether or not they're telling the truth. Also, if these people really are lying and they're perverted old men.... well, that's just a problem. We'll leave it at that.

Just a note that Cynth is now tabulating the survey results so any surveys after here may not get counted as she's already in the process.
Thanks everyone for all their help!
