jusy wanted to open up a conversation about sexting. Just out of interest really.
how do you feel about sending/receiving pictures? or texts? Is it something you’ve done before?
Hi @jackh
This is a good thread well done for starting it
I havent done it myself though tbh i would be far too worried that thoses pictures would go viral and i wouldnt be comfortable doing that
What about you? Whats your opinion on this?
@unknown
i’ve done through words a bit.
i’ve done pictures once through Snapchat, I know that everything you post on the internet stays there but in this case the person I wanted to send it to viewed it (my gf) and that was the end. I don’t know it’s something I would do again though, at the time I had a couple drinks in my system
Hey @jackh great question! I personally haven’t done it but I know people who have and definitely think it’s something cool that you can do with your partner provided that both parties consent to having the pics taken, and that they’re kept private. Before anyone engages in risky picture sharing though, you should read up on this sexting blog post to make sure that you’re aware of the legal side, as there’s some serious consequences especially regarding sending/receiving pics to those underage.
Did you discuss sharing pics with your GF or was it a spur of the moment thing?
I was going to mention that legal stuff so thanks!
We didnt necessarily discuss it, but we were texting and I guess it was kinda implied? i don’t how else to word that because I don’t want anybody to think you should be assuming consent without a clear yes.
One of my mates was drunk and took a picture of his penis and sent to somebody on Snapchat – I think he was intending to send it to his GF but sent it a girl he worked with (much younger than him I think) haha how awkward
Key message here: if you’re drunk and unable to navigate your phone properly it’s probably not a good idea
Yes @jackh, maybe there should be a drunk lock on the phone to avoid any awkward texts/pics/ebay purchases!
eBay purchases hahahaha @NickiPower last work party my drunk boss willingly gave me and my work friend his phone unlocked when we asked for it, we did so much stupid stuff and come the Monday he couldn’t remember who did it
I’ve been in a couple of long-distance relationships so yes, sexting has happened. It was all consensual though. I wouldn’t consider receiving unsolicited dick pics as sexting though, it’s more like harassment.
