Sexting is on a rise, especially with the youth. For long-distance relationships, it serves as a method of maintaining some form of sexual intimacy, even if it is completely digital. Due to how popular sexting is in some areas, it has become illegal on some planets, some holding severe punishments for those caught.

Many websites are designed to encourage sexting, as it proves to be a profitable market. Some websites are locked behind a small paywall, such as Phallaris which has over seventy billion active users, where messages are deleted after viewing to preserve anonymity. The ethics behind this are still being debated.

Matchmaking Websites

In the depths of Utopia are various matchmaking websites. The most popular are interspecies matchmaking websites, where algorithms measure your personality, compare it to other users in their database, and attempt to find matches. The catch is that these websites set you up with someone of another species. This is becoming more of a trend; most inter-species couples can't have children, so any sexual acts are purely for pleasure.

The only issue with these websites is that most of anyone's matches will live too far from one another for any kind of physical contact. Some websites have regional settings, where you can be matched with someone from your home galaxy or an even closer range, so that you can meet up with them, but not all websites support this. This is why sexting is common with matchmaking websites, for those unable to meet up with matches.
