Phone sex used to be more like a paid service for adults. It was not uncommon for a male adolescent to participate in this activity by dialing a number 1-900 after looking at his father’s adult magazine while at home alone. This was primarily an impersonal experience and usually the perceived voice was never who was announcing itself. We all know the cliched jokes about phone sex operators, it is not necessary to delve too deeply into the subject. It was simply more impersonal and costly, but there was never a threat to either party more than a whiplash from the father when he received a phone bill.

These days, there are no $ 3.00 per minute fees, phone sex is free. This activity also no longer belongs to the employees of a sexual agency and some involuntary adolescent, but is now carried out by adolescents, university women, professional women, single men and married men.

What has changed more than who engages in the sexual act over the phone is the technology in which it is performed. Today’s mobile phones are increasingly acting as personal computers and with camera phones capable of taking snapshots and videos, phone sex is more interactive than ever. Smartphones allow easier interaction with voice, Internet, video, and text.

What makes phone sex more dangerous than at any time in the past is the fact that many of the transmitted images can be stored and shared with other people. The wrong images in the wrong hands can feed online predators, stalkers, and sex traffickers, making this dangerous for both women and men. If your image can be shared with other people, then there is a chance that your phone number and other personal information can also be shared, making you easy prey. You don’t need to have phone sex with a stranger for a stranger to have your photos and videos private, remember that.

To protect your teens from this threat, it may take more than talking and trusting. The only 100% way to make sure your teen doesn’t stream X-rated photos of themselves is to not have text or internet enabled with their cell phone service. It sounds harsh and it won’t stop your teenager from participating in this online activity at home, but at least they’ll be safe at home, right? Yes, your teenager can still use their phone and say lewd things, but minimizing the tools available that allow them to enrich the act with additional means is at least one measure to protect your child.

The act of texting on a cell phone for sexual purposes is now referred to as “SEXTING.” This method may include exchanging photos with picture-enabled text messaging phones or service-enabled phones.

The threat with cell phones is that your teen can easily be out and about while participating and even arranging sexual encounters over the phone. Mobility is the threat and it can become much more dangerous when combined with additional technology. A predator can now check a victim’s appearance beforehand, use fake photos of himself to attract the child, and reunite without the child knowing the truth about that person’s age or behavior.

The scariest statistic about sexual predation is that the majority of rapes that result from the practice of telephone and Internet sex are male adolescents. Most of these crimes go unreported due to humiliation or the fact that the child is exploring their sexuality. Parents tend to turn a blind eye when it comes to adolescent males who believe that it is primarily females who are the victims of sexual predators.

Be cautious and aware. This is a new era, and the same old games can result in a greater loss than a large phone bill.
