Sexting...

[Talyssah]

So... I have a lot of friends who.. well.. like to 'sext' their partners. This includes dirty talk, naughty messages and... photos!! I've always thought about doing this with my partner, however would worry the photos got in to the wrong hands, so never have.

My question...

Is this something you have/haven't done or would/wouldn't do any why?

I do it. If you 100% trust your partner no reason they would go wrong place. We only do photos via whatsapp which is secure. I'm apart from my lover a lot so it's something fun and keeps us both excited. Wouldn't do it with other partners though, very different relationships.

I've done it in the past, and do so now with my current DP. He loves a sneaky snapchat while he's out! I trust him. That said, I try not to have my face in any photos and I don't tend to go full frontal, so to speak.

Thanks @wondering79 @OakIsBetterTho - maybe I'm too paranoid for my own good. I trust DP 100%, of course. However I worry about the 'what if his mate borrowed his phone to make a call and got nosey' or 'what if he lost it'.

I would be devastated if my photo ended up online! Not trying to flatter myself in thinking anyone would want to look at it but still, the thought is there..

Thanks for your responses.

We send pics, usually have them a couple days then delete. Just make sure your phone doesn't automatically upload all incoming files to the cloud. I like to send my lover a pic or saucy sext when I know he's in the middle of an important meeting at work.

Download snapchat? I dont have it anymore but think it tells you if someone saves a picture? That way your DP only sees anything for a few seconds.

Bucking the trend here but I haven't and probably wouldn't. Just the thought of someone else seeing the photos nooo.

My DP and I sext and he sends the odd picture - I don't but only because every time I have tried, I have been horrified! I just can't get a good angle and end up looking a bit weird

I love getting a sexy message at work and so does he, keeps things fresh

@dirtybadger I've seen far too many photos on snapchat intercepted by law enforcement to consider that! I would most certainly only use end to end encryption. Whatsapp for example. Snapchat isn't as secure as people think... I know I know. I sound incredibly paranoid!

@QueenofallIsee I don't think anyone likes photos of themselves! I'm sure you look wonderful 😜

Just make sure you never include your face in the photos

My husband works away and is usually only home every other weekend so if I'm feeling fruity when he's away I'll send him some pics of how I'm amusing myself without him. Sending them to a long term partner is very different to sending them to someone you've just started dating/ don't trust 100% though.

I wish my partner and I were still at this stage! My friends all use snapchat for this so I am curious how law enforcement intercept these messages as that sounds a bit extreme for your average person .

My partner has a password protected folder on his phone where he saves the photos so if a friend picks up his phone they won't see them. I keep my face out of them too just in case :)

I'd never send pics. Sexting is fine though.
