In the realm of online communication, I often find myself sharing personal experiences and insights. My goal is to foster connection and create a sense of community. However, amidst the positivity, I encounter a troubling trend that I can no longer overlook: uninvited sexual messages from men.
As a woman navigating life in a larger body, I have faced a barrage of opinions, many of which are fraught with fatphobia. While I can typically brush off critiques and unsolicited advice about my health, there is one category of communication that I find utterly unacceptable.
I am exhausted by the unsolicited sexual messages I receive. These communications range from the overtly crude to the surprisingly hostile. A man once claimed he would prefer to amputate his own limb than engage with me, while another suggested that my body was a “waste” of my appearance. Such vitriol is not only hurtful but also reflects a profound disrespect for women.
Moreover, there are those who think that sharing explicit images or messages is a form of flirtation. These unsolicited advances only serve to increase feelings of discomfort and vulnerability. It is crucial to understand that strangers have no right to impose their sexual desires or opinions about our bodies upon us.
When it comes to unsolicited sexual content, the reactions from women vary widely. In a poll I conducted, some women found these messages amusing, while others were genuinely distressed, with some even citing past trauma as a trigger. Notably, not a single woman indicated that they welcomed such communications.
The unfortunate reality is that sending unsolicited sexual messages is more likely to result in ridicule than attraction. You risk becoming the punchline in a group chat, or worse, causing emotional distress to someone who may be grappling with their own vulnerabilities.
I urge those who engage in this behavior to pause and reflect. Uninvited sexual communication is rarely received as a compliment; often, it is perceived as aggressive or unwelcome. It is not our responsibility to educate those who fail to understand this basic principle of respect. However, it is necessary to emphasize that if you choose to send these messages without consent, you are crossing a line.
Consent is paramount, and it is essential to remember that a woman’s life—both online and offline—should not include unsolicited sexual content. It’s not to say that consensual sexting cannot be enjoyable; it can be a healthy expression of intimacy, but that requires mutual agreement and respect.
In conclusion, remember that every individual deserves to feel safe and respected. If you’re sending sexual messages without consent, I implore you to reconsider. Understanding the impact of your actions can make a significant difference in fostering a more respectful environment for everyone.

In the end, we all deserve to engage in interactions that uplift rather than degrade.
