I thought I’d try to instigate a little conversation about sexting, the art of having a sexual relationship with an internet friend.
Tell us about your relationship(s). Were they long-term or one-night-stands? How did you meet? What were the pitfalls you encountered, and the keys to success? How did you stay safe (whatever that means to you)?
Are you curious about sexting and never tried it? What are you looking for? What are your reservations?
Looking forward to an interesting discussion!
I suppose I’ll add in my 2c now.
Hardest part is finding people who are willing to take the step and start a private conversation. It’s really hit or miss, and it involves trying lots of things- replying to personals, posting personals, interacting in group chat rooms, etc. Joining chat rooms that are intended for meeting up is helpful (because presumably you’re in a sext and flirt chat room for a reason!), though I found a friend once on a general interest forum.
I usually have had a lot of success once exchanging photos and making sure the other person is who she says she is.
Most of the time, they have been enjoyable experiences! Some last for a day or two, others for weeks or months. I’ve also made a few good non-sexual friendships, and those were great too.
Pitfalls: People misrepresenting themselves. Getting on the same chat app. General discretion. Building trust.
