How Adult Dating Chat Works
Many dating sites now feature instant messaging (IM). If you're not already familiar with IM, think of it as sort of a real-time version of e-mail. The typed conversation appears in a window on your computer screen. The other person sees what you're typing as soon as you hit "enter," and they can reply right away. IM conversations can be casual chats between friends or business discussions between colleagues. Adult chats are an entirely different matter: they're distinctly sexual in nature.
Adult-oriented chats have been around almost as long as the internet has. Before IM became popular, sites like AOL offered chat rooms where members could log in and participate in multi-way conversations. If two members wanted to chat one-on-one, they could open up their own private chat room. In romance-oriented discussion groups, an invitation to a private room was often an invitation to cybersex. IM has largely taken over, but some sites still have chat rooms.
What Gets Said
In an adult dating chat, anything goes. Just like sex and dating in person, online sex is unique to the people involved. An adult dating chat can have romantic overtones and be part of a developing relationship,or it can be a down-and-dirty one night stand. The people participating are the ones who set the rules.
That means that the chat session could begin with casual conversation and then progress to something more explicit. It could involve a made-up scenario, with the participants creating the story of an encounter together. It could focus on sexual intercourse or other sexual acts, or it could involve fetish play and fantasies.
If you're participating in an adult dating chat for the first time, expect to see graphic descriptions and words that aren't used in polite company. This can be fun if it's your thing - but if not, the explicit language can be shocking.
Why People Participate
Some people just enjoy talking about sex, and adult chats are great for that! Some people choose cybersex because it's convenient. There's almost always someone out there who's up for an imagined encounter. Other reasons include:
- Safety. There's no risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
- Anonymity. Some people are sexually aroused by the idea of sex with strangers. Some have a fetish they want to keep secret. Some are exploring homosexuality—or heterosexuality. And some are married or in relationships and don't want their significant other to know.
- Variety. If you have time, you can have adult chats with dozens of people every week—and even multiple people at the same time.
- No need for commitment. With online chats, you don't have to plan a date or call the next day. Some people do enjoy chatting with the same person regularly, but others prefer briefer connections.
How to Initiate an Adult Dating Chat
If you're on an adult dating site, you probably have access to IM, chat rooms, or both.
If it's your first time in a chat room, it's considered polite to watch for a while and see what people talk about before you attempt to join in a conversation. You don't want to show up in a "romance" chat room ready for action, only to find that it's full of teenagers talking about a TV show! Make sure you understand what the room you're in is about. Once you're sure that adult chat is welcome and appropriate, introduce yourself. Let people know you're new. It's ok to say what you're looking for and ask if anyone is interested.
IM's are similar to dating in general. You can lay it all out there and ask for cybersex right away, but make sure you're talking to someone who's interested. On regular dating sites, IM chats are usually a way for people to get to know each other. Topics might include pets, work, travel and weekend plans. That's not to say that adult chats don't happen on these sites - they definitely do, but that's not the main purpose of the IM's. You'll be more likely to get a favorable response if you go to a site that's designed for explicit communication. Check out the chat rooms on Adult FriendFinder for people who share your interests.
A Word of Caution
Use common sense when engaging in adult online chat and don't give out personal information. Avoid becoming too involved or attached, either. Keep in mind that people can invent personalities and identities online. So, if someone upsets or frightens you, remember that you can always end the connection. Many IM services will allow you to block further communication.
