The digital age of sex is unlike any other time in history. Because sex is now so easily available, we are influenced by it. There are many free porn sites on the internet, but it is more than that. We have become somewhat deafened to the concept of nudity. Celebrities and ordinary people use almost nude images on social media. Some celebrities post provocative photos to accounts that they follow.
We aren’t knocking it! It is very liberating to accept nude images and sexual suggestiveness online. It has also influenced the way we communicate sexually. Nowadays, it’s quite common to send sexy photos to significant others. It is also quite common to send sexy photos to fuckbuddies. We appreciate the fun of this, but we also recognize that there are risks. Revenge porn is the submission of an ex’s picture to a porn site without permission. It has become a popular trend, although not as well-known as sharing photos with friends, leaks and phone hacks, or sensational stories.
Some of our favourite celebrities have been through a lot of pain and embarrassment as a result of someone sharing a photo with the intent of privacy or hacking, stealing and sharing nude photos. Some people are unable to respect privacy and the wishes of others. It’s sad that this darkens digital sexuality. What is the solution? We could suggest that people stop sending their nudes, but that seems unfair.
It’s intense for some. Others find it rewarding, fun, and empowering. We don’t believe that rule-breakers should be able to take this away from anyone. There are steps you can take to protect yourself if you send a nude. While we cannot guarantee your safety (the internet can be dangerous), these steps can help you to stay safe when you are engaging in sexts that involve images or your body.
Trust the recipient
Although it may seem obvious, you’d be amazed at the number of people who send nudes to people they are not trustworthy. While you may be sending nudes to your fuckbuddy, and not to someone you are very close to, it is important to use your best judgment and ensure that the person you are sending photos to is open to communication and generally a good person. You can gauge a person’s trust by looking at their communication style. It’s very clear that your sexting partner may be pushy, persistent, or mean.
Explain that these photos are private and for your fuckbuddy only
We suggest that you send this text to prove that you intended to protect photos you have sent to casual sex partners in public places online. This is a huge advantage if you ever need to sue someone for revenge porn. It makes it much easier to remove photos from third-party websites. You should take a screenshot of the text and save it as an image.
Send everyone unique nudes
If the worst happens and your photos are shared, you will regret sending the same image to more than one person. It will be difficult to find the person who shared the image.
Take screenshots with Snapchat
Snapchat is a smart way to communicate nudes. The images you send will disappear in theory. Snapchat will notify you when images are saved or screenshotted. This is a smart way to send nudes. Snapchat’s features are not perfect, and some people may be disrespectful. However, it is possible to trust your friend enough to use Snapchat.
Don’t show your face
This is our most important suggestion. It will save you so much embarrassment if your photos are ever shared. Nobody will be able identify you in the photos. They could theoretically be anyone, as everyone has different body parts. If the worst happens, it will keep you anonymous.
We hope you take the time to read this list and make sure that you protect yourself. These tips may not be sexy but they will help you and your peace-of-mind in the long term.
