Sexting is an abbreviation from “sex” and “texting”. It means texting about sex. It can be both sharing candid photos, and virtual sex, that helps to keep in touch with a long-distance partner. Dirty texting at work will pick you up better than coffee, and during a long journey it will keep the sexual attraction alive. The key is to observe a few safety rules.
Getting ready
The rule is, if you’ve ever met online, you’ve probably talked about erotic topics. Some people like virtual foreplay, some don’t, but knowing the rules of secure correspondence is definitely something everyone should know.
Scenario
Something to keep in mind while sexting:
- Use only safe messengers that do not disclose your personal information. This can be Telegram or SnapChat. WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram are best left for small talk.
- Do not send nude photos from public Wi-Fi sources. Use personal Internet connection only.
- With a permanent partner you can be very honest and straightforward. But follow the same communication style. Strong expressions like “I want to eff your brains out” can frighten a sensitive partner.
- If it’s a new partner, start a sex-themed dialogue in a neutral and polite way. Don’t push, don’t attack with offers and overshare your wishes. Example: What turns you on? What do you want to try?
- If the communication is too aggressive, stop the dialogue.
- Don’t share your erotic photos and videos of your face, even in a long-term relationship. It’s sad, but the relationships don’t last as long as the videos saved on the phone.
