Venturing Online from a Young Age

1. Give Me Validation

Venturing Online from a Young Age

I was getting tons of attention. From men of all ages. 26, 37, 43. You name it. Growing up, I rarely received male attention and didn't have any guy friends. Flattery, flattery, flattery it was when I ventured online to flirt and showcase my childlike body to the whole world.

2. Gullible and Underage

How I first started sexting was all thanks to Ryan, a guy friend I made on Kik. Let's just say he was a nice guy and despite the fact that he was overweight and much older than me, I soon started developing feelings for him. He just knew how to make me feel special, it seemed. Now thinking about it, I'm pretty sure he was making a bunch of girls feel special at the same time but at the naive age of 15, I was as clueless as a dim bulb.

3. Guilt, go away

Venturing Online from a Young Age

Before I knew it I had finally sent a few shots of my naked body to Ryan.

"Don't feel bad. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just having fun, it's just nudes," Ryan reassured.

It definitely took much convincing and Ryan successfully managed to transform me into someone I didn't think I'd even be capable of becoming. How did someone who I thought was a wonderful friend yet a stranger and someone I'd never met, even have the upper hand?

I was from Asia, grew up in a strict household of traditional beliefs and values. I was obedient to my parents. I respected my body. I had dignity. Even the thought of sending nudes was contemptible and I was adamant on not showing Ryan my bare tits and worse, pussy. Everyone knew me to be that good girl at school and in my community; I had a good reputation to uphold. But here I was, giving in and sending nudes to some stupid, horny guy in the United States who still lived in his mom's house?

Boy did I feel super guilty and angry afterwards. And not to forget, a revolting slut. What the fuck was wrong with me?

4. I masturbated in my aunt's toilet

Venturing Online from a Young Age
It was 5 AM. I'd been staying over at my aunt's house as my parents had gone away on vacation.

Don't ask me how and why I thought it was a good idea. But I just did. I took multiple videos of me moaning while I rubbed my clit in the toilet. Even held the shower jet and turned it on as I positioned it onto my clitoris. It was my first time and the pressure was everything.

Again, soon after, a cloud of guilt began to envelop me so I downloaded an app just to store my dirty, private videos. Yes I had a lock on my phone but I was still skeptical. I just felt the urge to take the extra precautionary measure. I just had to. It was only for me to see.

And guess what?

That morning after having attended a briefing in my local community (yes, I didn't get enough hours of sleep), I lost my phone. Of all days, I lost it on that day. Had I not stored my videos in the 'secret' app, I'd have been fucked. Alright, maybe I was just overreacting and I'd have been just fine regardless of that, but at least I wasn't going to have recurring nightmares. Close call.

5. Constant frustrations

I was interested in guys romantically but they seemed more interested in my assets. I just wanted a boyfriend. All my friends had one but I had never had one. Hell, I never even had sex but that wasn't my concern. Guys online were my only bet as I was really shy in real life. But nobody would ask me to be their girlfriend. It was all fun and games. After all, I was just an internet whore.

Indeed, I was hard on myself. I considered myself a whore for sending nudes (luckily I always made sure to send faceless nudes which I'll forever be glad for), a whore just for being sexually curious, a whore because I was pretty certain none of my friends in real life did this and a whore because I was dumb and naive for letting a guy convince me into sending nudes. I could've stopped all this but I landed myself in this shit. I only had myself to blame, right?

Time and time again, potential romantic interests would emerge and then slowly drift apart. Finally I decided I'd just give up on the ultimate search of Love. I was a whore anyway. Maybe I was fated to be lonely forever. Also, my future was probably ruined. Hell, maybe I'd even become a stripper a few years down the road.

I was demoralised. No one knew.

6. Kissing and Virginity

Now I was 18. I had yet to kiss anyone nor lose my virginity. Heck, I had never even hugged a guy except well, my dad. Despite thinking of myself less, I always kept true to my inner 'good girl' belief - I would save those for my boyfriend. I had to preserve some of my dignity at least.

Of course, I did get a lot of hookup requests from time to time and literally rejected ALL except one day...

7. I felt really adventurous and thought 'Why Not?'

Venturing Online from a Young Age

It was a local Chinese guy whom I had never met. He'd been trying to get my attention on Snapchat for months only to be flat out ignored by me. Why? Because I was trying to turn over a new leaf during those months. I was ashamed and put up a 'I'm a good girl, don't you dare try shit' facade. I should've blocked him, yes, but I kinda liked the attention.

Then on that faithful December, he tried his luck again. I liked that he was persistent. Also, I was horny. I was experiencing a higher sex drive than usual which was a signal that my period was fast approaching. My sexual curiosity which I'd been suppressing in the dungeon all this while were starting to burn again. It came to life. Then I became a rebel again.

We met. It was awkward. He was friendly and obviously had a lot of experience judging from the way he was sweet talking smoothly. I was shy and just smiled. He'd wanted to book a hotel earlier on but I was scared. Uncomfortable with the thought that he would be spending money on me. That he would expect a lot from me. That I'd be classified as a literal prostitute. That'd be atrocious.

So I suggested doing it at a flat nearby. It was risky because it wasn't our property but like I said, I was feeling somewhat adventurous. And if it meant I wouldn't feel the pressure to satisfy all of this stranger's needs even when I'm uncomfortable as hell, I was more than glad to not head out to a friggin' sketchy hotel. I didn't want to risk getting raped too.

8. Strictly no kissing and sexual intercourse

Before we met up, I'd made it clear to him that I was saving my kiss and virginity for that one special guy (my future boyfriend which was imaginary at the moment).

On that day, he tried to kiss me at times but I moved my face away from him. Fortunately, he wasn't pushy. I was still in my dress but had the interesting experience of having my boobs sucked, neck kissed and a dick placed on my ass while I stood there like a stone, watching the view of skyscrapers from the top level of the building. That's it. I didn't want to go any further. Not even a blowjob. I refused to get intimate with a guy who wasn't my boyfriend.

While it felt good at times, I absolutely hated the experience. For instance, touching his cock. It was my first time and I was supposed to be excited but I ended up feeling disappointed. I wasn't feeling the chemistry; I didn't have feelings for him. I figured, casual hookups are not for me.

9. *Blocked!*

He wanted to meet at a hotel for our next potential meetup. I obviously didn't want that. Soon, we bade our farewells. He tried keeping in touch again but I didn't want to lead him on so I blocked him. Call me a bitch but I wasn't interested in hooking up again. Not even with other guys, I swore.

Because yes, the guilt was sinking in again. My inner 'good girl' voice was back again, yelling at me in exasperation. I was surely better than that?

10. Even more temptations

Ah, guilty pleasure. But what else can you expect when you're young and single and have hormones raging from time to time? I had lots of guys interested to hook up with me. Foreigners, especially.

One instance was a 35 year old guy named Emilio who occasionally came to Singapore for his business trips. Another case was a 23 year old guy from the Netherlands who was here as an exchange student for a semester. There was also a 30 year old called Ben who was German and lived in New York. He taught me German at times.

And I had many more encounters.

All of them had one thing in common. They were wonderful friends in the very beginning (admittedly I started growing a bit of feelings) but I knew that they ultimately wanted sex.

In the end I decided, NO FUCKING THANKS. I wasn't going to ever meet up with them. I wasn't going to be just some cheap and easy Asian hoe.

And so I ignored and blocked them.

And so I decided I was never going to seek attention over the net, feeding on adulation and weasel words.

And so I decided to work on my self esteem and not become wasted at a very young age.

And I'm glad to say that I don't regret my decision. My boyfriend came along later in my life. He's truly amazing and I couldn't have been any happier. My first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first virginity.

I love you, Alex.

  • There's nothing wrong with being sexual. I understand, you were telling yourself you didn't want to be a slut or a whore or whatever, but wanting attention and masturbating on your aunt's toilet, basically being "horny," I mean... it's normal. You're not bad. You aren't bad for wanting the attention, even from guys you didn't know. It's the age of the Internet and a lot of us do it. All things in perspective, you know? I'd mostly just say don't ever send nudes unless it's really someone you know and trust, and never to strangers unless for some reason you know completely and absolutely that they will not share it or try to hurt you with them. But that's not a bet anyone should take, probably. Good luck out there.

    • You have a great point, thank you. Yes, there's nothing wrong with being sexual. But I guess everyone has different opinions. In Asia, it's basically a taboo to do nudes. People are not as open about it and yes thatdid affect my way of thinking. I felt like I was disgrace. Now that I have a boyfriend that i love, of course I do send him nudes and stuff. But I wouldn't send it to other random dudes or even guy friends. I do know there are girls who are taken that still would for attention. Anyway, I was sharing this My Take to hear people's opinions on it. I was confident I'd get a lot of hate which I couldn't care less. It's always interesting hearing people's differing opinions and backlash. Thank you for your valuable input, I appreciate it. Have a lovely day ahead!

    • Glad you hear you have a boyfriend. Here in Canada it's just as bad believe it or not. I refuse to be someone's walking dildo for some woman. Here it too scary to even date a woman because she can claim rape or domestic abuse. It is becoming a lot more common that I refuse to even date any woman let alone sex.

    • @burpzzzzz that does sound scary. I hope you find someone out there. Thanks for your valuable input!

  • I can relate to a lot and that is very well written, luckily your adventures stopped at the boobs sucking and dick rubbing.
    Unfortunately this rebellious raging hormones phase ends up way too fucked up for most girls.

    And I know you'd agree with me when I say this.
    Most girls wouldn't listen to those who care about them , because at that time everything's seems to coming in the way of fun and enjoyment. And these are the same girls who end up emotionally broken and regretting not listening to those who were caring for the from the bottom of their hearts.

  • Thanks. My daughter is not even 1 year old yet, but I will be sure to purchase firearms and monitor all forms of internet use when she reaches 5.

  • Wow, this was a great read. I'm glad you've got yourself to such a happier point in life now, at first I was just curious what it would be like to open up to guys online so young but it was such a cute ending!! :)

    • Thank you very much, lovely!! 💕

  • I literally share your story. I was 15 when I started sextng, but I was 17 when I lost my virginity. that was this year. I haven't found the one yet though.

    • Thanks for sharing hun😊 I hope you find The One. You're still young. Don't let some guys take advantage of you. Hugs.

    • Thanks :) just wish I could catch a break in life sometimes lol.

    • My pleasure, and have a lovely day <3

  • Two Thumbs up for this Take. There are so many living today solely based on internal validation because lets face it... internal validation is much easier then taking a risk in the real world. Good read!

    • Thank you so much. And I agree, internal validation is important to take note of and not just dismiss it when people suffer from it. Thank you for that.

  • Wow. Nice Mytake.
    I've had random guys approach me online, and first I thought they were just being friendly, but eventually, they ask about my breasts or if I'm single or some sexual question like that. I mean, when I'm DMed by some random guy online, I hope it's just because he's being friendly, but it very, very rarely is. Everytime that this happens, I tell them that I'm a lesbian. They keep talking, but about a day later, they just ignore me.

    • Yeah many of them online just want the pussay and bewbs to drool over lmao. It's good that they know their boundaries and leave you alone later though! I've had stubborn dudes who continued flirting and asking for nudes even when I gave them annoyed answers

    • It's kinda annoying.

  • Three words: First. World. Problems.

    • Yeah, I'm open to criticism. Hence, not staying anon. Thanks for your input, cheers.

  • Really great Take. Loved reading this. I've been down your same path as well.

    • I'm glad you could relate, thanks for your input. I appreciate it and thanks for reading! 😁

    • It was incredibly honest and real. When I was new to social media years back I got caught up in a LOT of sex chat with a LOT of women, of different ages and races as well just like you. It had even gotten to one point a few years ago where the guilt started killing me too like it did for you. I always felt like they were expecting me to get them off for the day, and if I didn't do it I would feel guilty or like I was brushing them off, which I didn't want to make them feel like. I would spend hours on this stuff, but it really started killing me to a point where I deleted my whole profile on one site I was on just to make it stop. Needless to say I HAVE done it with a few more women since, but only ones I really like. Even still it's not nearly the habit it ever was before.

    • My only concern now about being flat out honest throughout the article is that people i know in real life may stumble upon this 😅 I'll be so screwed ahaha. I honestly never thought dudes were prone to feeling guilty as well. Thanks for opening my eyes, it's interesting to know. I'm sorry you had to go through the guilt as well. On the bright side, such experiences really do teach us a lot when we're much older. Hell, it even starts becoming sort of a hilarious thing recalling back to those days at times. what matters more I guess is that we don't feel guilty any more and we are able to embrace the past and let it be. No point regretting. Lovely insight though :)

  • yeah. It's annoying.

    I think you should have to be licensed to go online and you need to be 18 to get that license. Kids are everywhere online. They make websites and everything.
    The whole Internet is destroyed from them.

    • Could say the same for pedos pretending to be much younger but ok

    • Yeah I would say the same for them.

  • Moral of the story - that is why you mingle with guys your own age... cause if things get sexual or whatever... at least you are both in the trial phase so no harm no foul...

    • I wouldn't have minded mingling with guys my age.

    • That's how it should be... why would you even think of someone out of your age group... it just makes no sense how are you today? better with Alex?

    • Because the friendship website I joined, I always had older men hitting me up. And I'm doing good with him, thank you.

  • I am at your point too.. I am a guy, I'm 26 - never been involved with a girl online or for real. I also have surging hormones, but I refrain myself from indulging with someone online. I really don't know what to do or where to go at times. I just keep telling myself to develop a passion and be busy at it.

  • Glad u shared ur take... at least u will bring hope to future girls and have them understand what u went through and save that special thing with someone u really love and care for

    • I appreciate your kind words 😄

  • I don't think that it is good...(

  • Yeah a great read and I would imagine that would ring a lot bells with young girls - I hope as many as possible get a positive outcome like you - It is most likely to fall on deaf ears but any young girl reading this take, think very carefully about what you are doing and why you are doing it plus could there be unforeseen consequences?

  • I'd say social expectations/stigmas are mostly to blame when it comes to first discovering and exploring your sexuality. Parents/Family usually put it off for too long, and the school system's idea of sex ed is a joke...

    Too much generalization, as if everyone experiences it the same way; nor does it help when society treats anyone under 18 having vivid ideas/fantasies regarding sexuality as a perv (doesn't incline you to talk about it when you're worried about being labeled...).

    So instead, you're forced to either resort to the internet/porn or jump into the proverbial deep end so to speak... which comes with consequences of their own because you weren't prepared for them and/or never taught otherwise...

    • I've got to agree with this. I remember I started watching porn at a really really young age and I'd always end up feeling guilty. There were times when I'd feel like the worst human being in the world, which now when I think about it is ridiculous hahah. Anyway, thank you for your wise words.

  • In part, it's relatable. You were young, needed attention, and tried to find ways of getting it without going against your morals.
    In part, I find this hard to relate with. When my desires and ideals go head to head with my morals, it's usually my desires that win. My guilty and shameful feelings began to feel obstructive and choking after a while, so I eliminated them and immediately saw an increase in happiness.

  • 🙌 I understand

  • IM CRYING

  • same stuff happened to me but i didn't send nudes. i met up with some college guys and went on dates but i also just wanted a boyfriend so i didn't do stuff with them. you made the right decision.

  • I discovered internet porn when I was 12 and now I'm obsessed with porn and boobies.

    • Me too lol

  • This is a great take.

    I enjoyed reading it but also empathize with how you must of felt how you did.
    It must of been tough for sure but you seem to of got by fine and found someone important. Well done for never giving in or letting go.
