Sexting & Sextortion Scams (2 Viewers)

You know, I didn’t recall ever seeing a horse’s pecker, and the phrase “hung like a horse” is frequently used, so I did a quick Google search to see what all the fuss is about. I’ve made a couple of determinations based on my findings:

- That is not a pecker; rather, a weapon of mass destruction.
- I don’t have one of those.

Now go look up horse fluffer.

but if you do the math with the weight and size of a horse compared to the size of its thing, being hung like a horse just means you are below average. A horse weighs average 1000 lbs with a 20" thing. Average man is 200 Lbs. He needs only a 4" thing to be hung like a horse.
Hey, i don't make the rules...

was discussing this with Oye, i think one of the struggles for us 'boomers' is that we we don't conceive of 'cyber' the way kids do - it's not a real place to us. i think we consider it a fancy version of when we talked on the phone late at night for hours at a time
i think the 'virtual' landscape is a real place for kids - like an actual reality. maybe even more important that irl for some

.........The phone had become a compulsion lately, his mother said. He spent hours a day on Snapchat sending messages and photos to friends. His social life was wrapped up in the app.

“He lives in his phone,” L. said.

Before the pandemic, L. and her new husband set rules that the phones would be closed in a drawer during evenings, but they fell out of the practice when the world moved online during the pandemic. As D. grew older, it became harder to police his use.

“It’s easy when they’re under 12. You just tell them ‘no.’ But when they get to be 15 or 16, you realize that every kid they know at school is on Snapchat and how much they’re left out if they’re not and how many plans are made, it becomes literally a piece of who they are,” L. said. “And if you take it away from them or don’t allow them to have that, they genuinely miss out on a lot. I don’t agree with it, but that’s how these apps are made. They’re made to pull them in.”

For parents struggling to find that balance, Mulder recommends keeping lines of communication as open as possible with children, talking to them often about their digital life while giving them opportunities to explore and grow...........

We’ve been preaching this to our kids for the last 7-10 years. Once it’s out there, it’s out there, and trust is a fickle thing. You might think you have this great relationship with someone and choose to send them a compromising photo, but if you all fall out, what’s to stop them from spreading your business around? It’s not worth it.

I knew about the revenge porn aspect and thought that what all these were

I knew about the long game romance scams

I didn't realize these teen sexting blackmail scams were happening too

Sadly, thinking about it, it seems like it was an inevitable next progression. And will only get worse

from the comments
=============

I am a high school teacher and know it’s easy to find boys who will do this. Things to keep in mind:

1) Teens have many many relationships with people that they only know on line.

2) So, they will not listen to you while you tell them they “don’t know” someone on line

The solution:

Teen boys don’t understand that girls are wired differently. That they are excited by a cute face, yes, but mostly by power, skill, and competence. A real girl will ask for pictures of your cute face, but will really want to see pictures of you in context - in your sports uniform for example. Or at work (if you have a cool job). Or your muscles. Or looking sappy and in love with them.

High school girls are NOT turned on by genitalia. Most adult women are not either - hence the failure of Playgirl magazine. Literally, girls are not the slightest bit interested in your genitalia. If they were, boys would walk around in codpieces like girls walk around in sport bras. Make them understand this starting in middle school. Girls care about skills, not boy bits.

They can decide this is fair or not. But maybe they will then wonder about that girl who wants a shot of their private parts. If you can’t convince them this is not a girl, you may be able to convince them that she’s acting weird.

Is there an appetite for a centimeter discussion?

The person behind the account asked to see a photo of him naked, and specifically requested he include his face.

He was 17 and horny....it is what it is.....but this literally reads to me as "make sure your face is showing.....because I sure don't want you possibly having any of that plausible deniability stuff!"

I can’t help but feel like this is when adults would preach celibacy instead of safe sex. And, unfortunately, probably equally effective.

Maybe
But I don’t know what safe sexting would look like

…
Actually- I wonder if it’s sending a pic and a code and the pic only last an __ amount of time and can’t be copied or resent

This penis, er, message will self-destruct in 15 seconds?

Horrifying.

Some say the world will end with a whimper
Some say with a bang
