SEXTING: A SEXUAL PRACTICE ON THE RISE

Couples in intimacy frequently resort to practices and habits that allow them to keep the flame of love alive and sexting is one of the most interesting. The success of this practice in relationships demands creativity and trust between both.

The term «sexting» refers to the sending of erotic and sexual content, suggestive or explicit, using the mobile phone. This form of seduction in love relationships, arose as a consequence of the advent of modernization in mobile communications and instant messaging serviceswhich are the most common means of sending this type of photography.

The practice of «sexting» is directly related to a higher level of sexual satisfaction among those who practice it. According to a study by Drexel University in the United States. Sexting is a common habit among stable couples. In the same sense, the research clarifies that the sending of sexual images represents an escape in the routine conversations that every couple maintains, increasing the levels of desire, through communicated fantasies, using technology.

Like any habit, the practice of «sexting» involves advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are evident in a fuller sexual life between the couple and in the strengthening of trust between them. Nevertheless, the disadvantages are related to security and specifically, with the possibility that the content disseminated in photographs or videos loses its privacy character.

The healthy use of “sexting” requires the consent of both members of the couple and the commitment to maintain the privacy of the information received. There are couples who agree to delete the photos from the mobile device, once received.

Sexting is an activity known to many but dominated by few. Like any action, this also requires following certain rules to be successful.

One of the most important rules of this game that involves fantasy and excitement is to accompany the images with suggestive phrases and non-explanatory; the ideal is to generate expectation for a close encounter and not say everything we have planned, thus eliminating the surprise factor.

Another suggestion to do «sexting» and not die trying, is to maintain honesty. It is useless to say things that we do not really enjoy and this is noticed once the time of the meeting arrives. After all, we are talking to our stable partner and she will know if what we say is true or not..

Sexting is a matter of trust and that is why it must be done with a stable partner or someone we know well enough to put our intimacy at risk. There are those who prefer to be more cautious when sharing this type of information with their partner and therefore establish rules such as not showing their faces.

Sexting is possible thanks to technology and therefore generates a type of satisfaction in which we do not need to be physically with our partner. In it, we can let our imagination run wild and find a solution to the monotony of the sexual routine.
