Of all the things to require on video sex chat sites DirtyRoulette and Flingster, honesty is probably not at the top of the list. There might not be anything wrong with a few white lies, but some people on sex chat sites go way beyond that. But what’s their motivation for lying in the first place? Here are some of the reasons why your sex chat partner isn’t being honest.
1. They want to seem more attractive
This type of falsehood is pretty much the norm in a video sex chat; for most people, this is “lying” in the same sense that putting on makeup is “lying”.
2. They’re embarrassed about something
They didn’t leave those dirty socks on the floor; that was their roommate! Again, a little white lie that’s all about saving face.
3. They don’t want to spoil the moment
It’s easy to get swept along in a sex fantasy – but what if they aren’t as invested as they say they are? Maybe they’re just trying not to ruin it for both of you.
4. They’re trying to get attention
Not everyone who claims to be a sex god is as good as they say they are. This is hardly unique to video sex chats, but it’s worth bearing in mind.
5. They’re after your money
Romance scams can be found on every dating and sex chat site, so if you hear a hard-luck story followed by a request for money, ask them if they sell swampland too – they might even say yes.
6. They get a kick out of catfishing people
Some people lie about their circumstances or identity just for the fun of it, not necessarily for money; this always involves constructing a false identity with elaborate lies.
7. They don’t want to turn you off
Plenty of people have unusual kinks, and a lot of them don’t want to admit it in case their chat partner reacts badly. In many cases, they’ll just avoid talking about it and go with the flow.
8. They don’t want to admit their real sexual orientation
Even if you’re well within their sexual preferences, they could be interested in all different kinds of people, but not be comfortable with telling that to a stranger.
9. They don’t want you to know that they’re in a relationship
Cheating spouses or partners are far from uncommon on sex chat sites, but why would they tell on themselves if they’re having virtual sex with a stranger online? Some people are into that, but it could be a problem for others.
10. They’re protecting their identity
This one actually makes sense; after all, why would they answer you honestly if you’re asking about personal information? In some cases, it’s just easier to make something up than it is to tell you that you’re crossing a line.
