Do you engage in sexting? And if so, what do you really get out of it?
I'm not talking about sexting between two people in a relationship. I'm talking about sexting people you don't know other than on social media sites that you've never met in person.
I personally don't get it, don't see the point. I'd much rather talk dirty with someone I can actually act on it with. Otherwise, you end up all hot and bothered and still alone/sexually frustrated. And a lot of people engaged in online sexting already have a partner at home. So, why don't you talk dirty to your partner rather than a stranger online and maybe you'd be getting more sex at home.

  • In very rare occasions, I met brilliant minds that made sexting deeply enjoyable. It never worked without some form of connection first, even without meeting the other person. I'm not sure I can explain how that happens. In general, though, it is rather boring. More often than not, I ended up watching porn instead of talking.

  • Nope. I don't see the point.

    • Totally agree with you. Now totally different if it's your SO. Then it can be a build up to what's gonna happen when you get home, wink wink lol but a stranger? Inappropriate and pointless in my opinion

    • Exactly.

    • Thanks for the MHO

  • I have in the past. It boosted my self-esteem like nothing I'd ever tried before.
    However, guys are way too selfish and I came like once or twice - mind you I sexted with around 1000 guys (most of it was just sending pictures for validation).

    • I don't trust sending nudes to people like that. Once they're out there you have no control over where they wind up.

    • I never sent any nudes with my face in them to people I didn't trust. You're much older than me and I dount that my parents would understand this but secting boosted my self-esteem so much, it's still too low just to give you an idea of how low it was before. I've come to terms with my body now, was able to stop cutting. It's not all bad and I don't care if people shared my nudes. My face wasn't in them unless I trusted guys, so if a picture with my face surfaced I'd know who put it up.

  • I agree with you

  • I just enjoy the titillation of it.

  • Its teasing but can be foreplay.

    • But with random strangers? Why have foreplay with random people? And isn't foreplay the act before sex? That's my whole point. Why engage in "foreplay" if it's not going to result in"actual"sex?

    • Its not my thing, I've tried it and reading doesn't get me off. There are plenty of women that read romance novels... porn on books and masturbate at home even having a spouse. Single people might engage as a form of safe sex. Guys do it for the same reasons as watching porn. If you're asking the community questions, be prepared to receive answers you don't agree with or understand. You not getting it doesn't really matter to teresa the texter or texting tom who rubs one out afterward.

  • it can be fun and i guess what i get out of it is a wank lol

    • Yeah but you could get that from watching a porno, or read a book with hot sex scenes.

    • yeah i know, im an expert on wanking over porn lol but sexting can add something if thats what both sexters want.

    • I guess 🤷 to each their own lol

  • It's fun to do when bored.

  • Yeah.. Its just mostly nothing but random fun.. And you can say two people with the same needs. So i mostly just get some timepass and fun.

    • Since when did sex become random fun? Maybe that's the problem these days. Sex and sex talk shouldn't be random fun between strangers most of whom are already in committed relationships.

    • Those who are already committed aren't found in this scene.. This scene is rather limited to singles, i guess. Sex isn't random fun. But talking about it maybe is..

  • I never have but I don't see anything wrong with 2 consenting adults that aren't already in a committed relationship. It might be awkward to get things rolling but then again it might be easier to get it started when messaging a stranger. I guess it could go either way. As far benefits from it. I would imagine it would be the same for anyone trying something knew. It would probably be exciting and feel a little naughty or a little taboo and help or just add to the fun while wackin your pud. Sorry that sounds a little crude. It could be fun while beating your meat.

    • Lol beating meat is less crude lmao or spank the monkey 🙊😉 I'm not telling others what's right or wrong for them. I'm just old school and rather sext someone I'm sexing and not on Skype. In real life.

    • Yeah me personally I go back and forth because I'm not the kind to give even the slightest trust like that but then I think about how I haven't been on this site very long and have opened up to strangers on here more than anyone I know personally and I think it's helped me. So it probably would be fun to play along with a faceless message. I imagine for a woman it could be scary because you can't tell anything about the person's character from a screen and you could open the door to a crazy stalker and who know where that could lead to

    • Well that's part of it. But for me , I think it's that it would just leave me sexually frustrated to engage in the talk, and it can only be "talk" and make me feel more lonely miss "real" action more. Is different to sext someone as foreplay and then later that day put in practice

  • Yes, I do and I will engage in sexting.

    • What gets you excited the most?

    • @dinojames22 sexting with girls

    • They are lucky ladies then

  • Getting off? 😕

  • Nah, I find it pointless

  • ... I think the point is that you can't find a partner.

    Do you really think the average person would pick sexting over sex?

    • Who can't find a partner? Me? Lol And there is people who engage in this that are in relationships who think it's "ok" 'not cheating" . To me personally, the only person I'm going to sext with is my partner.

    • If you're in a relationship, it's obviously some form of cheating. Also, when I said "you", I meant as a for-instance.

    • Ok lol have a very Merry Christmas 🎄

  • I've done it before or was fun

    • I just personally don't get the point? Much rather if it can lead to something. And I'm not sharing what is supposed to be an intimacy between two people engaged in a relationship with random people. I respect myself and my body too much for that.

    • It worked for me cause it was what I needed at the time

    • As I always say.. To each their own 🤷

  • Morning wood lol

    • So watch a porno and spank the monkey 🤣

    • Not if what she said was good enough.. Sometimes the words are all I need. lol

    • To each their own 🤷🏼‍♀️ Words from a stranger don't do it for me, kinda the same thing as empty promises 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • Sexting is so stupid.

    • I agree. It also can ruin relationships. For me anyway. Some people are spending more time sexting strangers than sexing their partners. Well I personally rather have it for real. And if someone rather be talking bout it with others than doing it with me, I ain't gonna be with that person.

  • It can be. Especially if it's someone who enjoys it oas well. Can welling get me going

  • It's stimulating, think of it as a fan fic, only it's happening real time as you read it. At least that's how I view it.

    • Still, me personally don't/won't share nudes or real time face nudity with virtual stranger.🤷

  • I do in cage and. I get horny hard and some times cum for her

  • It can be fun if photos and videos are shared plus getting off for a stranger is exciting

    • But would you do that if you're already involved in a sexual relationship with someone else? That's what I really don't get either? Bad enough in my opinion cuz I'm not showing my body to strangers. But why do that if you have a real person to do those things with. I'm having sex with someone he should be getting off with ME not strangers on internet 🤷

    • No I wouldn't I value relationships and despise cheating

    • Thank you. Agreed. Because I do see that as a form as cheating but a lot of people think it's okay.

  • I enjoy sexting so I'm probably the last person to ask hahaha

    • I enjoy sexting with someone I actually had/have sex with. Just not into it with strangers. For me anyway. Anyone can talk a big game, but if no action, it's just that, "talk". Much hotter when it's with someone you "know" can back up the talk. Lol

    • I get ya but this is how I see it. Like for instance, I don't know you. I will probably never know you. We find each other attractive, I get what your saying when you do say what's the point though? Well you get to see someone naked and all the action of someone you probably would have never seen but maybe wanted to see in your fantasies. Also not all sexting relationships stay just sexting. I have a lot of friends that have sexted with random girls and ended up sleeping with them. My brother sexted a girl from Colorado and had sex with her visiting her for like 6 months before they broke it off.

    • I guess lol I still say rather sext with someone could actually put into play. And personally, I'd rather have sex with someone who can be more available than have to travel for sex. Guess it's a matter if you're just seeking random casual hook-ups. Me, I'm greedy lol I'd much rather lots of sex with one sexual partner who'd rather be having sex with me in person than some random person. 🤷
