The New Rules for Sexting
Dating has changed a lot over the years, especially in terms of digital intimacy.
Sexting, the exchange of sexually explicit content, like messages, photos, and videos, is a common practice among consenting adults through digital platforms.
Sexting, once a taboo topic, is now a common way to connect with someone you're dating. However, like any form of communication, it comes with its own set of rules.
Let's dive into it:
1. Consent is Non-Negotiable
Always remember that both parties should willingly and enthusiastically participate. Consent is the cornerstone of any sexual interaction, even in the digital realm. An unsolicited d*ck pic is never okay.
2. Privacy Matters
Protect your privacy by using secure apps, avoiding identifiable information, and being mindful of screenshots. Trust is crucial in sexting. For extra precaution, I encourage you to not have your facein any of your explicit photos (should you send them).
3. Respect Boundaries
Establish boundaries and communicate openly about what you're comfortable with. Be ready to respect your partner's limits, too.
4. Context is Key
Sexting should match the level of intimacy in your relationship. What's appropriate with a long-term partner might not be with someone you've just started dating.
5. Timing is Everything
Gauge the mood and timing. Sending an explicit message first thing in the morning might not be the best idea. So keep those risky texts for later in the day my friend.
6. Be Creative, Not Crude
Spice things up with your words, but avoid being overly explicit or vulgar. Creativity can be incredibly seductive.
7. Double-Check Recipients
Always ensure you're sending your sexts to the right person. Accidental sends can lead to uncomfortable conversations. Believe me, they do happen… Did I mention that my ex boyfriend had my mother in his phone as “Jade’s Mom” not her name, so she was on the receiving in of a not so PG photo? Talk about an awkward Thanksgiving.
9. Keep it Fun and Flirty
Sexting should be enjoyable for both parties. Light-heartedness and humor can make it more enticing.
Remember, sexting is about enhancing your connection and shared intimacy. It's a consensual and exciting way to explore your desires with someone special.
Embrace the rules, but also trust your instincts and have fun while doing so!
Stay safe, stay sexy, and happy dating!
