Why would a man prefer phone sex over the real thing?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been talking to this guy for about a month now and know he works local and is from my area. We have a few mutual friends but have never met. I saw him on a dating site and he said hello.
We were chatting and to my surprise he suggested video sex. It’s not something I’ve ever done and am a little unsure about it.
We have sent pics to each other, nothing too raunchy.
I just don’t get why he’s so into this phone sex. I respect that he’s not putting it about but feel like I’m not going to really get much out of it apart from knowing he was turned on but watching me.
Why do men prefer this sort of thing?

He might not actually be single, that's the first thing to consider. Hiding behind the internet allows him to keep certain things from you.

Other than that, sheer laziness. He can't be bothered with a real life interaction, he just wants to engage in fantasy in such a way that he can switch you off when he doesn't want to engage with you.

Insecurity for numerous reasons, less than honest about his situation, or simply that's his fetish. Reasons are numerous, but that is no reason for you to do so unless you are comfortable with the idea, of course.

Just out of interest. If it’s insecurity perhaps that explains why his pics are of him holding himself rather than just whipping it out

[Tesriss]

Could be, although if he wants mutual video it could also just be that he is intimidated by making it face to face first off.

I’m kind of curious and open minded, it’s not something I’d do with just anyone but I’m thinking if I try it once and he doesn’t want to take it further then he just used to me perv over. It sounds like he wants to watch me...

[Tesriss]

If he just wants to watch then insecurity seems most likely.

[Asker]

Or that he’s just a perv that gets off without the hassle of real interaction lol

[Tesriss]

Or that! Never rule out the perv/strange fetish aspect. Lol

He could be insecure about his body?

You don't have to work as hard, you are not responsible for making her cum, you don't have body shame issues, or cock size issues. It's a long list of possibilities.

He is probably shy and still a virgin so he will be scared and insecure about his body.

It's probably his kink, not very much men like video sex when they can have actual sex with the person

[whatarewedoinghere]

He has some1 else would be what I was thinking or he doesn't use deodorant

The real thing. It's all about the real thing.
