Warning

If you haven’t actually had sex with a person, it is advised that you don’t try sexting to initiate anything. It can come across as highly inappropriate and can make things incredibly awkward.

Is sexting cheating?

Seema Hingoranny, a clinical psychologists told DNA, ‘For me sexting someone other than your partner is a form of cheating as a partner is investing his/her time and emotions, even if physical contact is missing. It’s highly addictive and in many cases I see that the person who does it, avoids spending time with his/her partner. When people, who are in a committed relationship, engage in sexting, they’re more likely to get involved in an actual relationship in the real world, is what I have noticed in my practice. It is clearly a form of emotional betrayal or emotional infidelity.’ Read more about whether sexting is cheating.
