This a real transcript of a WhatsApp conversation that has been slightly edited for reasons of privacy. The eroticism in it comes from knowing that it is a real conversation that the participants are having for the purpose of sexual pleasure; there is little description so the imagination has to be used. In fact both Alicia and Jules do re-read conversations for pleasure when they are alone.
Alicia (not her real name) is Spanish, in her mid twenties. She has long dark hair and brown eyes. She thinks she is overweight but in fact she is simply not skinny. She lives and works in London. Jules (also not his (my?) real name) is English and more than twice Alicia’s age, something which Alicia finds attractive. He is one of those lucky men that carries his age well. Originally from London he now lives and works in Huddersfield, which is where they first met. Whilst they were friends in Huddersfield they were not lovers; they developed their relationship after Alicia moved to London and now they have a good friendship in which a sexual element has been developing – only the sexual element is shown here but their conversations are not always about sex. Both are single and both enjoy sexting; they both enjoy masturbating and knowing that the other is masturbating, it is a big turn-on for both, and neither really wants a partner in their lives. At the moment they are still finding out about each other sexually, but they are becoming comfortable with each other. Alicia shares a flat with a man (whom she doesn’t fancy) and Jules lives alone.
