Sexting

What is Sexting?

Combining the words “sex” and “texting,” sexting is the act of sending and receiving explicit sexual messages via a phone or computer. Sexting can involve not only text messages but also trading nudes, dick pics, and even erotic videos.

Sexting has been popularized thanks to the advancement of communication technologies such as the Internet. With the democratization of the smartphone, sexting went beyond dirty talk and started to incorporate images, audio files, and videos.

Sexting is a big part of dating, but it’s also common among couples. While phone sex is different from sexting, the two concepts are closely related, and it’s normal for people who sext to also talk dirty on the phone with one another.

The Benefits of Sexting

Like most things sex-related, sexting is a form of art. Learning how to sext correctly takes some time and requires a lot of imagination, but the benefits are immense:

  • Sexting can help to manage long-distance relationships;
  • Sexting can increase intimacy between a couple;
  • Sexting allows for free sexual expression, helping people overcome their inhibitions and explore their fantasies in a secure environment;
  • Sexting can boost confidence before sex;
  • Sexting can increase arousal and be a form of foreplay, contributing to a more intense sexual experience.

Naturally, sexting is not without its risks. Non-consensual sexting can be a form of harassment, and sexting has even been used by online scammers to target politicians!
