(2,077 posts)1. Puts a marriage at risk. Why assume a female is doing this outside of marriage? I did it all the time with my husband. Yes, I once accidentally sent a text about blowing my husband to my sons guitar teacher, but it ended up in an apology and not endangering my marriage.
2. Revenge I am not sure I have ever sent sexually explicit photos to anyone, including my husbands or boyfriends. Pictures and videos can be taken in person (again, something I never did), so it could be spread whether sexting or in person. It just could never happen to me.
3. I guess blackmail and revenge could go hand in hand. Yeah; having an affair, being kinky, being gay or numerous other things can open you up for blackmail. I knew a kinky guy in government. A girl he was involved with tried to blackmail him. That is the only person I have ever known of being blackmailed. It was a man, and it did not involve sexting, just like some of the other examples I gave do not have to involve sexting.
4. Now we are getting into minors and not necessarily females. Definitely not women. It kills me when people and/or the news refers to pedos victims as women. They are not. They are children.
Anything that can happen in a sexting conversation can happen in a hotel room/on the phone/personal relationship.
I do not even share regular photos of me. The reason? Scammers will ask for a photo of you, even on sites where you already have photos, because they will then use your photo to catfish other people. They are trying to get photos which are not public, so it is harder for the person being scammed to figure out they are being scammed. So, no one gets any photo of me.
I have sexted with folks I am in a relationship with. I never felt victimized. I totally disagree with the reasons set forth in the link.
