Sexting and Video Chat

Video chat sex is incredibly sexual, whether it’s a date or a relationship. It’s simultaneously romantic and edgy, it has the intimacy of talking face to face but with a sexual dimension. Sexting is a fun way to keep passion alive in your relationship, but you can easily lose control. When sexy videos are added to the equation, the potential for abuse or predatory behaviour increases. A sexually explicit message could go viral, or be shared with strangers. It could also end up on websites dedicated to child pornography. Parents need to discuss this scary reality with their teens.

Research suggests that sexting is on the rise amongst young people. One study estimated that a quarter of teenagers have sent or received an explicit text or image, while another survey claimed that it was more like one in five. It’s clear that sexting is a growing problem and there are a number of reasons why.

When sexting from a phone, it can be hard to feel connected to your body. To overcome this, Adora advises doing a little prep ahead of time. Do some push-ups or read erotica to prepare for the video chat. If you can, try to schedule the sexting session at a time that both of you are in the mood for sex and completely focused on one another.
