I got a all from a close friend the other day. She had just received a series of odd text messages asking for Rachel. Since I was one of the few Rachels that she knows, she forwarded them to me, to see if I knew the guy.
They were, shall we say, rather graphic. The first one wasn't bad. It was your typical bathroom pic (nobody around to take your picture, so you go to the biggest mirror you got, usually the bathroom, and snap away.) the second of pictures however the man had mysteriously lost all of his clothes. He even included a close up of his
assets. The text was asking about a hook-up.
I had no idea who the man was. I called my friend back and informed her as much. No doubt just a wrong phone number and a coincidental use of the name.
The boy was cute enough. The assets, well let's just say they looked to be sufficient. The sexting thing, I found a little creepy. I think even if I had known him the deal (or at least potential deal) might have been off on that grounds alone.
What about you? Would you sext someone? How would feel about getting a sext?

i dont sex text
I would to my boyfriend, and I have, but we've been together for three years. I wouldn't with someone just wanting a hookup.
i've only sexted once, to an ex when i was REALLY drunk. i didn't talk to her until about a week later when she told me she was pissed about it for a couple days but then just found it funny. it was only a few weeks after that that she said she wanted to see how big it was again and willingly gave me a hand job. its not much, but sadly its the closest thing to action i've had in months.
sexting is fun!
serious longterm bf whom i trust greatly, and that would be all. i'm barely comfortable w that but ... distance sucks lol.
GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!
but it wasnt to some random person it was to someone i developed sort of a long dist. relationship with and well we were still attracted to each other but we couldnt see each other in person due to distance. so we sexted.
then it didnt go anywhere or we didnt go anywhere rather. i moved on and have only done it for my current bf who i am crazy in love with :) ill never sext for another again.
Never did it. So I wouldn't know. I would think a pain in the ass, especially if a message doesn't send. Could prove rather funny. >.<
I've never done it and I don't really agree with it. Even if you're in a long-term relationship with someone, who knows what could happen. You could break up the next day, leaving your ex with "blackmail," if you will. Maybe if you're married or something it would be different to you. But I just feel like it's risky and unnecessary no matter what.
But hey, if you're into it, whatever.
With my boyfriend- hells yes. Anyone else- yeah, not so much.
i used to do it all the time. it's fine for me, i'd always delete after i receive it or send it because i don't want anyone to see it on my phone.
I have sexted with my boyfriend, like we will send "sexy" messages back and forth to each other, but I have never sent him naked pictures, nor has he sent me any. We save that for when we are together, in person lol (Much more fun) plus, even though you may trust your boyfriend/girlfriend that those pictures will only be seen by them, anything could happen. cell phone could get lost, their friend could use their phone and see them. I just feel much better with not having naked pictures of myself being sent through thin air,
@SFPD_PursuitZ77@xanga - If the message didn't send that one thing, this message went to the wrong person entirely. Can you imagine? I would be embarrassed if I were that guy.
I think something like that sank the political career of Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Of course it was done on using the city--issued equipment.
I infer from your story that Rachel and Close Friend didn't know the guy. I think this is the same as solicitation and harrassment--or stalking--or obscene emails--or whatever category.
I've done it, but I've always made it a point to not include my face, unless it was to a boyfriend. Having a name and a naked body shot is no where near as bad as having a name, a face, and a naked body all for the same picture.
I'd flip out if anyone sent me anything graphic of themselves.
@AnonymousBlonde@xanga - Even if my face wasn't in it, I'd still be afraid to sext. If my boyfriend would wanna get sexts, I'd tell him no and I'd tell him he can see everything the old fashioned way - in person.
I have done it. I'm just careful not to show my face. I don't think there's a problem with it.
Sexting is a bad idea, best done only with serious significant others and avoiding anything identifying in the photos. I've done it on rare occasions when away from my SO for a few days.
yeah I would sext, but only with a significant other. I've actually done it before, but not with pictures. just words. hahaha.
Sexting via text is awkward.
Sexting via pictures is dangerous.
I'm not seductive enough over a text message. It's quite embarrassing. Besides, I unconsciously type "haha" at the end of my messages, so it makes it sound sarcastc. For example: "You're so fucking hot haha" (...keepin' it clean)
I'm liable to hurt a few feelings.
Only boyfriend.
Thats hilarious though hah!
I'm not dumb enough to "sext" even with a boyfriend.
Personally, I'd rather see the real stuff in person. This sexting crap is too risky for me and I just dont trust it. What if someone gets their hands on that persons cellphone or what if your off by one digit and sent the sext to someone you don't know or even better you send it to every person on your contact list.....no Thank you ....
I think that it's okay to do it with someone you're really passionate with or someone you trust. Texting is a form of communication, after all. Carefulness is key.
@Ballisticfutbol@xanga - psh. It's been over a year for me since I've had any action so don't you worry about it haha
