Precisely what is sexting?
Sexting is "the behaviour of sending text messages about sex or designed to stimulate someone" by the Cambridge Dictionary sexually.
Mobile technology has made it possible to establish relationships, express emotions, and engage in foreplay without being physically there with one another. Think about online dating. Well, at least the Internet has broadened the range of choices!
How can you text safely?
Let's get started with the sexting tenets!
1: Double-check who the recipient of your sext is - Although it seems obvious, mistakes do occur. Often.
2: Never send a sext to a third party - Beyond the fact that such behaviour is extremely insulting, revenge porn is illegal.
3: Keep your sexts private in case they are found -
- Don't expose your face or any portions of your body that are immediately recognised, including tattoos or birthmarks.
- Employ an impersonal backdrop
- Disable location services for all apps on your device.
- A photo editing programme also allows you to blur specific portions of images.
5: Communication is essential - Tell your partner what you are comfortable doing (or not doing): Are you fine with pictures, videos, or maybe just texts? Do you favour having your sexts erased once they are viewed?
6: Investigate the dangers - Sexting is not entirely risk-free. You should thus never send something that you wouldn't want to be publicised.
7: Use applications rather than text messages - The following applications should be deleted: Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Snapchat.
What are the top apps for safe sexting right now?
Viber, Telegram, Signal, Wire, WhatsApp, and Confide
8: Disable automatic cloud backup - We frequently overlook the fact that photos taken with your phone are automatically stored in the cloud, making them more susceptible to a cyberattack.
9: Protect your phone - You can use a password manager to remember all of your passwords for you by setting one up. Additionally, it can lock files and offers multi-factor authentication for increased protection (face and fingerprint recognition are strongly advised!).
10: Be wary of both your own and your partner's connections - Wireless networks expose your files to extra risk in public areas. To ensure that sending sexts is acceptable, you might possibly decide on a code with your spouse.
