Sexting!
According to Wikipedia, “Sexting” is, “The Act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones."
A recent survey conducted revealed that 36% of women are sending or posting nude images of ourselves to guys. 72% send them to be 'fun or flirtatious', and 59% will send snaps as a sexy present for their boyfriend. For a lot of us, sexting can help keep the relationship going, especially when it is long distance and you aren’t able to see each other as often as you would like to.
There is something strangely anonymous about the internet and even mobile phones, not when you are speaking, but when the communication takes place through a keyboard. It is very easy to type something reckless…crazy…risqué…yes you see the words, but most of us feel less of a commitment emotionally to the written word. Many men can write the words “I love you” in a valentine’s card or in a text message, but actually saying those three little words out loud, no chance!! In much the same way, writing down what you would like to do sexually is a lot easier than saying it. I mean, whilst in the bedroon, could you actually say out loud the things you told this partner you would do to them over instant chat?
Now days, it seems to be all over the media where a celebs phone has been stolen and naked photos have been found. This happened to Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Blake Lively, Amber Rose and that is just a few to name. Some would say it was a publicity stunt, some will say they had the pictures on their phones to send to partners. So how do we know this will not happen to us? How do you know, the person you are sending a picture of yourself in your bra and panties, is not going to show all of their friends?
Personally, I see "sexting" as a harmelss bit of fun. Girls, if you want to message a guy naughty words and tell him all the things you want to do to him, DO IT! Boys, if you want to send a picture of your jolly rancher to a girl, DO IT! If you are going to say things, live up to it. No point being all mouth. (Well, depends where your mouth is going to be!)
A piece of advice, do not go showing all of your friends, because it can easily slip out and thats when trouble starts. A friend of mine had pictures of this guys package on her phone. They then had a big fight and she threatened to get the picture printed and put up in shops in his local area. Could you image the horror? (I saw the picture and his whole piece was a horror in itself already) but walking past your local cafe and seeing that in the window!
Keep sexting relevant and to the point.
Keep it for youself! It is not meant for anyone elses eyes but yours!
Have fun!
Do not sext with someone you do not know and have met on the internet. They say they are a 28 year old man from Manchester, when really it is a 79 year old granddpa of 7 from Uzbekistan!
Be safe!

Overrated. If you're not in a relationship then more often than not it's all chat which just endes up getting your hopes up. Computers/phones etc make it easy for people to hide behind words - internet warriors/trolls. Bottlers when it comes down to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteCan see the fun in it though but more often than not people don't mean what they say - too easy to say things just to please/been seen to be saying the right thing via text.
Have first hand experience of someone saying something then in person acting totally differently. No cojones. All chat no action.
Think before you text/sext as what may be fun/meaningless for you may be more serious/interpreted the wrong way by whoever's receiving it.
the worry is when you split-up & use those pics to get back at each other by posting them all over the internet...it might not just be your current lover who sees those snaps.
ReplyDeletethe funny side is when someone accidentally sexts to the wrong number, oops!
I super agree when you said that people are less emotionally attached with written language than spoken language. Many people nowadays find it really easy to say I Love You or I'm sorry in texts but when it comes to saying it personally, they're tongue-tied. :)
