Disclaimer: this is way too long, but maybe someone will enjoy. Fun to remember and talk about either way. I’ve needed to tell this story for a long time.
This happened a long time ago, in the Jurassic days of the internet before phones or dating/hookup sites. I was fairly active on IRC, or what the n00bs called chat rooms. Lots of sexting occurred, although they of course didn’t call it that, a fair bit of pic sharing despite people not having phones with cameras and needing to suffer through dial-up speeds, and plenty of more casual flirting to pass the time. I was a regular (and part time moderator) of a channel dedicated to a non-stop game of virtual truth-or-dare. The truth part is pretty self-explanatory, but the dare part mostly revolved around embarrassing public displays in the more serious channels, which would often result in a temporary ban. Other times the dare might be to engage in some kind of sexual scenario with another more-or-less willing participant, all typed out sexting style, out in the open for the enjoyment of all. You get the idea.
