hey1223 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Was wondering where others stand on sexting, it can be a pleasant compromise, as you don't have to deal with any nudity or physical contact. As an ace, I of course have no urge to do the real thing, but I do like being able to please a partner through this, and I can even sometimes get off myself while doing it.

brandon9523 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm with you on this one. It's like having sex, without having to have sex. As someone who is able to masturbate through porn or literature, it also opens up an avenue for a partner to feel like they're satisfying me, rather than feel like they simply aren't good enough. And as you said, I am actually able to satisfy a partner though this! Which is incredible! Because for me, personally, I find it very upsetting that I can't please a partner in that way. Because with a sexual partner, I know it's something they want. It is a nice compromise for some, but I'm sure for others this may be a little much? I feel like it's more of a minority thing.

deltaX Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's up to you! I personally wouldn't be interested in sexting, but for some it could be a good compromise. If you want to do it with your partner, then go for it! :) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sexting is a really bad things and it's just connected with the view how do Western societies see women. It's very sexist though. But what if you break up with the person you sent your photos? It's just about lack of sex education and not knowing your body good. The more you know your body the more you respect it.

CharmVif3075 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I personnally don't like sexting. I find it weird and kinda gross. If someone ever sexted me, I think I'd run away from my phone or something. But you do what you want :) Link to post Share on other sites
Amedot Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sexting is awesome! I love compromises like that :) Link to post Share on other sites
WhenSummersGone Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Depends on who it's with since I'm Demisexual. I can enjoy it and do it with some friends or someone I'm dating. Trying to do it with someone I have no emotional connection to doesn't do anything for me. It's the same with pictures and phone sex. Link to post Share on other sites
chromanebula Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I must admit I don't precisely understand *why* people feel the need to sext, but if it brings them pleasure and it's consensual, I'm cool with it. I must admit I laughed, though, when Anthony Weiner was caught doing it...and not just because of the name. I didn't understand why he would do such a thing! Link to post Share on other sites

The more you know your body the more you respect it.Maybe I'm missing something here, but how is a lack of sex ed related to sexting? Sexting doesn't always involve sending raunchy pictures of yourself. It can stay at or include/exclude text messages. Hypothetically speaking no one should be sharing a nude photo of another person ever, but you could always take some precautions. Just don't show any distinguishable features like your face; your birthmark; a unique tattoo or piercing(s). I'm personally not comfortable sending photos but I find text messages are fine. Ultimately whether you want to sext using text messages or pictures is up to you guys. Link to post Share on other sites
SkyWorld Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm personally not into sexting, but with compromises, that's good! Because this one guy was trying to sext with me and he sent an inappropriate picture of himself to me. I never asked for it, I wasn't expecting it. I was sick to my stomach and I cried. I never felt so disrespected. Just thinking about it right now makes me cringe and I'm still upset he did that to me. Some of my friends thought I was overreacting, but no. I hated it. It made me incredibly uncomfortable. My point is, I think it's completely fine if it's a compromise and the two parties agree to it and avoid those unpleasant surprises. :( Link to post Share on other sites
MinorThreatGirl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I enjoy sending nude images to my partner but I don't enjoy receiving them from him, because they do absolutely nothing for me. I would rather be sent a photo of his face. Link to post Share on other sites
