Not necessarily: Online relations are not diagnosable by themselves. It is the frequency of the events and the interference in real life events that contributes to this being a diagnosable problem.

We don't judge: Like many behaviors, online sex can be pleasurable but it could also result in undesirable consequences, depending on the circumstances. I would argue that medical professionals can only ethically advocate for intervening when someone's behavior is presents a clear & present danger to themselves or to others (e.g., if children were involved).
