sexting

LegacyUser

hi, I used to sext girls. Problem was some where as young as 17. I was 24 at time when i was doing it, i feel so disgusting now when i think about it. ny sext's i had where deleted and not seen by anyone else. i should had got help back then as i had low esteem with clinical depression and did not care what i was doing as i was drinking heavy too. Would what i did be even considered abuse? I cant bear myself to think about it.

I am a friend

Were you going out with these girls? Did you know them? Were they replying? Your post is very hard to read.

There's no point in dwelling on it now. If you have now come to the conclusion that it's inappropriate and there's better ways of approaching the opposite sex then that's fine stick to that from now on.

You can't reach back into the past and unsend them. You mention you've had issues with depression, dont reach back into the past looking for sticks to beat yourself up with, just try be the best you that you can be from here on in.

Assuming you were single, the girls consented and it was all good, clean fun then you have nothing to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong with at all. I'm 26 and I still regularly indulge

You did nothing wrong. While 17 is a little young, they are of the legal age. However, if they were any younger, things might have been differently. Perhaps just dirty text (apologies, I refuse to use "sext", it's a stupid word!) girls a bit closer to your own age range.

As for the actual dirty texting itself, as long as both people are single, consenting and are of legal age, then there's no harm. In fact it can be a lot of fun.

You say you have low self esteem with clinical depression, have you received any help with this?

Hi OP,

Honestly, I think you've built this up in your head to be a much bigger deal than it actually is. All the girls were of age and were clearly consenting if they were replying. Most of us will have gotten a little amorous over text from time to time! Try to view it as a little bit of fun you had in your past and leave it there!

I actually read that as you used to do it when you were 17. Still though, the girls were of age, but perhaps if you're indulging in such things and don't want to feel guilty you should try and limit it to people around your own age.
