How many DUer's have sexted, and if so what was the social media used?

[jorno67]

Poll question: How many DUer's have sexted, and if so what was the social media used?

And I am not asking if you have cheated! Only if you have used social media for sexual purposes.

[Atman]

1. You know, this vote could be recorded and used as evidence...

:hi:

:sarcasm: kinda sorta.

[cliffordu]

2. I'm strictly old skool....

Polaroids, baby, polaroids.

[grantcart]

53. old school my ass, polaroids shmolaroids

This is old school and this is Cliffordu doing LA woman doggy style




The experts are on to you

[cliffordu]

65. Well....

:rofl: :bounce:

[jorno67]

82. thats hot!

[barbtries]

3. i'm discreet

so i ain't saying one way or the other.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I've had a rule, over the years, that nobody takes nekkid pictures of me,

still shots or video, regardless what our relationship may be.

[Staph]

39. You and me both, Granny!

I have never met anyone I would trust with a nekkid picture of me. I don't think there is even a traditional baby-on-the-bearskin picture (thank heavens!).

[HipChick]

5. Pre-Internet - I was sexted'd

on BBS's...

It's nothing new...different medium..different ways to waste time

[Waiting For Everyman]

6. Good poll.

This number should be interesting.

:popcorn:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. I've only done by snail mail. It takes weeks to get to second base. nt

[DevonRex]

13. Hahaha.

[spin]

8. Hell I'm 65 years old. I don't text let alone sext. (n/t)

[JDPriestly]

19. Our generation is just more virtuous than the young. Don't you agree spin?

I can only imagine what sex-texting would have been like in the 1960s. Good heavens.

[spin]

31. I don't know if we are more virtuous but we definitely aren't as ...

technologically savvy as the young.

I have watched kids text faster than I can type.

[barbtries]

54. party lines

oh, yeah, it happened.

[Donnachaidh]

59. probably still does in parts of Maine

I lived in an area with partylines in the 70's.

[Donnachaidh]

58. eh, we just are afraid someone will request a snap of the stuff

And I know the girls aren't as buoyant as they used to be. <evilgrin>

[juajen]

78. I'm seventy years old, and I do both, so there. NT

[Xithras]

9. It would be interesting to see this broken down by age too.

As for me...sure. Texts, emails, web chat, ICQ, and several other mediums. My wife and I do it on a halfway regular basis, just to keep things fun :)

[hakko936]

10. Not pictures....

...but some little "messages" between me and my wife. Text messaging.

[LiberalFighter]

11. It's been years since I've done anything like that. It was via IM's

before cell phones. And with consenting adults.

[Edweird]

12. Cellphone, MySpace, GMail, AIM and Stickam

[Horse with no Name]

14. Nobody remembers the Yahoo Chat rooms???

That was an experience.

My partner and I visited just for fun....it was amazing when you put out there that a couple was interested....the PM's went nuts!

But...some of the folks were freaky weird scary, so we quit doing it.

Mind you--we were sitting and eating pizza, laughing and doing this at the same time...it wasn't a sexual thing (for us anyway)...I always imagined whoever was on the other end trying to type with one hand and sticky fingers.:rofl:

[Blasphemer]

15. No votes for DU private message? 'Fess up people! ;-).... nt

[Horse with no Name]

22. Yeah that strikes me a little creepy

But the exchange could go something like this:

#1: oh baby...you know how I like it...tell me how you want me to stick the yard signs in...do you want them in deep or do you just want them gently placed in the ground...

#2: Oh man this is the best cybertext I have ever had. WHAT? Your circumcised???? Don't you know that it genital mutilation? Does that mean you want me to mutilate my genitals for your gratification???

#3: We're going to get dangerous today...We can sneak to the park and I'll be sitting on a park bench...and I will slowly pull out my breast and you can slide up beside me and hand me the baby so I can breastfeed in public...


Oh the possibilities are endless here..

[Waiting For Everyman]

23. !!! LOL!

You seem way too good at that.

:rofl:

I can see that "possibilities endless" at the end of a Mastercard commercial.

[Horse with no Name]

25. ....

;)

[jorno67]

37. best post!

At least so far.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. no never

yes. i am lying cos thats what people do about sex. they lie.

[lapislzi]

17. No DU, no Twitter

It's strictly politics on DU and strictly hashtag puns on Twitter. Twitter's also way too public to do anything beyond flirt, although there is the DM feature, which I rarely use except to thank a follower for a RT.

[InkAddict]

18. Our avatars did the whild thang on SL - is that sexting?

I was curious about the sexy bed.

[tishaLA]

20. On IM, text, skype

In addition to the other reasons, I once had a bf deployed in Iraq. It made sense.

[Ohio Joe]

21. Yes - Other

Telephone, Text, IM, Video, Pictures, Email, Cam. When I get involved with women the relationships tend to be very sexual.

[Loge23]

24. Are you kidding?!

I'm getting to the point where I don't even want to post here anymore!
Remember, cyberspace is forever!

[Waiting For Everyman]

26. So far, 39% have sexted.

Interesting. And I'd expect that percentage to go up a bit between now and midnight.

[jorno67]

95. after 24 hours 42% have sexted in some way or another

I actually thought it would've been more like 25% no - 75% yes

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. In my "old" age I have learned....80% of maturity is fatigue.

[RaleighNCDUer]

32. lol

so true

[LiberalLoner]

55. Oh, man, isn't that the truth though? n/t

[Codeine]

61. AHAHAHA!

:rofl: That is brilliant.

[GKirk]

28. I once sent my wife a text that said...

..."I'll be home soon ;) "

Am I going to Hell for that?

[iris27]

29. "Sexting" as a verb drives me up the fucking wall, BUT I am guilty of the act it describes over IM,

e-mail, and (I think?) text.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. AOL had private cybersex chatrooms that were quite interesting when I was into

that kind of thing..... :)

[Iggo]

33. No, no. Never, never. Uh-uh-uh. (n/t)

[Rex]

34. This is all so funny to an 90s AOL chartroom vet.

Sextexts are lame by comparison.

[Horse with no Name]

38. Yeeup. They were similar to the Yahoo Chat rooms

talk about RAUNCH!

[Rex]

40. I got so bored of that stuff I wandered into the Religious vs Atheist chartrooms!

OMGz! I could stay entertained in there for days on end! Some of the things people would say. :rofl:

[Sonoman]

35. Other - I don't know how to text.

I don't even know how to FaceBook.

Even if I had a camera, I don't know how to send pictures.

I guess I'm safe.

Sonoman

[arcane1]

36. I would never tarnish my reputation with such loathsome acts

or something.

[xiamiam]

41. i think it depends on your age and inclination

there was a time when i probably would have done at least one of those things..but my brain was directed by raging hormones and sometimes tequila...who cares..i've got real things to concern myself with..wieners imagination and personal actions are his private domain..really...

[BOG PERSON]

42. other - telegraph

.-- .... .- - / .- .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / .-- . .- .-. .. -. --. ..--..

[dixiegrrrrl]

85. Singing telegraph..there's an image!

[jorno67]

87. I have often said that

communication throughout the world would greatly increase if we only used stripper-grams to correspond...

[dixiegrrrrl]

88. Would make Cspan a lot more popular, I bet.

A "lively" floor show indeed.

[jorno67]

94. I'd watch more of it for sure!

[Sky Masterson]

43. No but I'm willing to learn

:evilgrin:

[HubertHeaver]

44. During my AOL days in the steamy chatrooms.

Never sent any pictures though--no digital camera then.

[Wait Wut]

45. WoW forums.

But, it wasn't "real" and it was everyone actively in the forum at 2am on a Friday nite. I'm not sure WoW players have sex. The other ones, I mean.

[jberryhill]

46. "We'll Do It Live"

[chrisa]

76. Oink! Oink!

[Buns_of_Fire]

99. Falafel Sex! Oh noes!

I've heard of this strange, deviant, and forbidden domain. It greatly vexes me.:scared:

[Raine]

47. Email with my boyfriend but asolutely no

nekkid pictures. No way would I do that, things can go awry and end up in the wrong places posted all over the net.

[LynneSin]

48. You know I don't care who does sexting, if you're caught don't lie about it

nuff said.

[jorno67]

49. not really the point,

But thanks for letting us know.

[LynneSin]

83. But then you're missing the overall point

We keep trying to justify it as "hey we all do dirty things with our twitter/facebook/webblog accounts - so what?". But the reasons many of are angry isn't because Weiner did that but that he lied about it and he made US look stupid. We look stupid because we liberals rallied around those lies. And now Andrew Breibart has one-up on the liberals - which makes me even ANGRIER.

[jorno67]

84. that might be the point of your poll but not mine

I am not excusing Weiner of anything...just curious how much of this sex via social media actually occurs. Any conclusion you jump to is yours not mine.

[PCIntern]

50. Never ever...and wouldn't...

this is the kind of stuff that destroys people when used (in)appropriately. Just not worth it.

P.S. It's bad enough that I posted here for seven-plus years.

52. it will be interesting to see if that changes the later it gets

You know after the school marms go to bed.

[seabeyond]

57. really? judging peoples sex choices much? this makes you better, how? nt

[jorno67]

66. lol - thats funny...

[seabeyond]

71. no, not really. reality... many feel it is betrayal to marriage sex talking strangers on net.

you may not feel that way but the overwhelming majority on du feel that way (per other polls recently). that in no way suggested if a marriage choses to be open, there is any judgment. THAT is how that works. to insist that people are schoolmarm because they do not define marriage as you do is insulting.

in essense, you are insisting people live a life that they dont wish to, or you resort to demeaning them.

you might have something to talk about if the OP had seperated out married and single.

[jorno67]

79. i clearly said this is not about cheating - you are jumping to your own

Conclusions here. I have sexted with my wife and only my wife and I would view as cheating if she or I did it with someone else.

[seabeyond]

80. well, duh...

i went back up and reread your OP

time to step away from the computer.

[jorno67]

81. no worries - happens to all of us from time to time...

62. I'm a perv, but that doesn't mean those who aren't as

highly over-sexed as I am are "schoolmarms". Folks are all different, and more modest behavior some exhibit doesn't by necessity bespeak prudishness or innate conservatism.

[Codeine]

60. Text, picture message, Myspace, Facebook, OKCupid,

IRC chat, dial-up BBS message boards in the late 80s, Usenet, and probably a few I've forgotten. :evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

63. had to laugh

at okcupid

but geez

not in a judgment or prudish or schoolmarm way.

[Codeine]

68. OKCupid was Casual Sex Central for quite a while.

Seriously, the amount of success even a nerdy guy like me could have at that place was astonishing. I think they were bought by another dating service with a less-freewheeling attitude recently, so things might be a bit less crazy now.

[seabeyond]

73. hey

if i was single, i would play. not single, dont play.... with strangers. that simple. not a tough one for me.

[Dappleganger]

64. There was a coupon board about 10 years ago I used to frequent which had a secret sex chat room.

Never bothered with it but sometimes when deals were posted, you could cut the tension with a knife, LOL.

[guitar man]

67. I tried to have phone sex once

Couldn't figure out how to do it.... all the holes on the damn thing were way too small! :silly:

[flvegan]

69. I don't sext and tell.

Heh heh heh heh...

on edit: I'd like to note that this was response #69. Oh, yeah.

[Ohio Joe]

70. I think that means you win

:rofl:

[seabeyond]

72. ha ha. what a hoot. nt

[sendero]

74. I met my wife..

.. online, but we never needed to do that silly crap.

Really, is email replacing conversation and sexting replacing sex? I'll take a face to face or whatever to whatever any day.

[xchrom]

75. I've done it all. Hope to do more. Nt

[saras]

77. I'm so old I had to use BBS's - are they social enough?

[Sentath]

96. I dunno, do MUD's count?

:evilgrin:

[jorno67]

97. I would say yes n/t

[jorno67]

98. the computer kind yes...thumb tack kind...not so much

[dixiegrrrrl]

86. Wonder if the voting will change much this am?

[Lucian]

89. I have and used text messaging.

But the receiver actually wanted the pic.

[meow mix]

90. i thought people grew up..

havent done this since fresh out of highschool lol, on the AOL

[jorno67]

91. so the answer is yes - you have.

[dixiegrrrrl]

92. Hmmm... only one rec for a most interesting and lengthy thread???

[jorno67]

93. I'm a bit shocked by that as well...
