Sexting 101

Sexting 101: Etiquette Tips Sexting is not just an activity for partners who have sex in real life; people who've never engaged in the act together can enjoy this over-the-phone form of sensual activity. But there are things to keep in mind, especially when sexting someone that a man has not been sexual with physically. Along with maintaining proper penis care (hello, dick pic!), the man in a sexting relationship would do well to consider the following etiquette tips for keeping his dirty texts respectful. Start with flirtation. If a guy wants to sext with a woman, that doesn't necessarily mean she wants to. In the interest of not making anyone uncomfortable, it's important to ease into it. Men can "test the waters" by starting with gentle flirtation. If she flirts back, amp it up ...

Get Through The Holidays As A Single Person

This can be a strange time of year. There are songs, commercials, shows on the television, movies and articles in the paper about the spirit of giving, loving, blessings, and the joy of family and friends. You see visions of couples holding hands, snuggling into each other on a cold winter's night or buying the perfect present for the love of their life. But what if you are single? What if you are used to spending Christmas with a certain someone and that isn't happening this year? What if you are feeling lonely? Sad? Lost? How do you hold your head up and enjoy the holiday season without feeling like losing yourself in a bottle of wine or a large box of chocolates? Holidays can be tough if you are single. If it's a recent situation, old memories can come to surface. You remember the wa...

Ending The Relationship Merry-Go-Round

Breakups are hard and they hurt. But culture, and our friends, tell us that if we fall off the horse, we need to get up and get right back on. So what do we do next? Our friends drag us to clubs and parties trying to find the next Mr. Right. Why is it that we think when one relationship ends, we need to jump right back in and find another one? It becomes an endless cycle of failed relationships that can only be stopped if you get off the ride and take the time to evaluate them. If you have been through a series of failed relationships, you need to face the fact that they all have one common denominator and that is you. Your relationships end up the same way because you've created a pattern. You start the relationship the same way; you behave the same way during the relationship until i...

A&A: Everything You Wanted To Know About Sexting, But Were Afraid To Ask

Stories of teens taking and sending a naked picture of themselves with their phones have been all over the news media in recent years. The outcome? Shocking, according to reports which have suggested that humiliation and sometimes even suicide can follow. But what is the reality? Sexting is often seen as a dicey electronic version of “I’ll show you mine, you show me yours”. Many teens (and adults) engage in it. Indeed, some are suggesting that it is becoming a “normal” part of adolescent sexual development. And in general, few psychological problems (if any) are correlated with the behavior. Here’s the bottom line: research suggests that most photos don’t end up in disasters, either socially (being passed around, teased, bullied) or criminally (being prosecuted). Such outcomes are possible...

Is Sexting A Sign Of A Committed Relationship? – It Might Actually Be

Why do people sext? Why do they send racy or naked photos or videos and sexually loaded texts? For a short-term hookup, sexting might seem like a direct way to get what you want – or at least try to. But according to my research, sexting is actually most likely to occur within a committed relationship. Some research suggests that people often engage in sexting after being coerced by romantic partners or to avoid an argument with their romantic partner. So perhaps anxiety and concern about what your romantic partner thinks about you promote behaviors like sexting. As a human development researcher who studies how technology influences relationships, I wanted to understand if people who are anxious about dating or about what their partner thinks of them are more likely to sext. So where d...

When Does Dating Become A Relationship?

When I talk about dating, I refer to initially meeting a person that there is an interest in, then getting to know and learn that person mentally, intellectually, and eventually romantically. More often than not, dating begins with two individuals being physically attracted to each other. This is usually the first step. Those two people then begin talking. The conversation gives each person an indication of how the other one thinks and rationalizes, although that is only a small indication. The initial conversation usually determines whether future conversations or interactions will take place between the two. Sometimes it only takes two minutes for someone to realize that they are not interested in getting to know the other person any further. Therefore, it stops right there, even though ...

Sleeping Naked: A Romantic Interlude

From Her Perspective: As the twilight deepened into night, I felt a welcoming warmth enveloping me as I slipped under the soft silk sheets of my bed. Tonight was special; it was a night reserved for vulnerability and unguarded revelry. The act of sleeping naked was not merely about shedding the burdens of the day; it was an invitation—an embrace of authenticity, both for myself and for the man who would share this sacred space. The freedom felt exhilarating, as if the very fabric of my insecurities fell away, leaving only the essence of who I truly am. I could hardly wait for him to arrive, to feel the touch of his warm skin against mine, to blend our worlds together in this intimate sanctuary. From His Perspective: As I lingered in the steamy glow of the evening, a sense of anticipation ...

The Healing Embrace Of Cobwebbing: A Post-Breakup Ritual

In the shadows of heartbreak, when the world feels inexplicably dim, it can be tempting to sink into despair. Yet, emerging from the ruins of a past love, there lies a transformative ritual that whispers stories of renewal: a cobwebbing spree. This unconventional practice encourages us not only to confront but also to embrace the tangle of our emotions, allowing us to sweep away the remnants of what once was, both physically and emotionally. Cobwebbing—just the word evokes imagery of dust motes dancing in golden sunlight, a soft vacuum of clarity amid the chaos of memories and emotions. As we gather our cleaning supplies, there’s a palpable energy in the air; it signifies the start of our journey inward. Each sweep of the cloth, each gentle wipe of the surface, serves as an invitation to ...
