23. Sexting

Mon Sep 1, 2014, 07:11 AM

Sep 2014

Not that I've dated much, but when I was thrown back in the dating pool (in this case, plenty of fish, but there are lots of others) when you finally find somebody that likes your profile and you like their profile, you swap messages through the dating service, then graduate to a phone call and/or text messages. At some point you're texting a lot, and maybe you're swapping pictures back and forth for amusement or humor or just plain silliness. And at some point, you drift into the idea of sex, and then the interesting pictures show up.

Not necessarily porn images, but maybe you get a pic of cleavage in a low-cut shirt, that kind of stuff.

If this progress to the point you're sleeping together, then maybe you tease each other with sexier pics. "Here's the bra I'm wearing today; you'll see it more tonight", or the guy sends Congressman Weiner-style pics in response.

Obviously, it doesn't have to lead to full-on nudity, but it's also not that far of a step.

And to those people in Belize or Iran uploading them? TampaAnimusVortex Sep 2014 #154

Obviously that's quite impractical. I can understand civil or criminal penalties for uploading nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #10

No, that isn't "kind of silly," hifiguy Sep 2014 #165

No way to enforce it anyhow, realistically. And I'm not all that interested in Ms. Lawrence's nudes nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #169
