In the digital age we live in, it's possible to have a bit of naughty fun with your partner, even if they're miles and miles away.
Namely in the form of a "sext", or sending a photo of yourself wearing your birthday suit.
Of course, these NSFW photos are intended to be by your partner and no one else, which is why it is important to be sure that it is going to the right number.
But even the most careful people make mistakes, resulting in the wrong recipients being treated to photos they're never likely to forget.
Redditor dentalbeans was eager to hear the aftermath and/or consequences of those who sent risqué photos of themselves to the wrong recipients, leading them to ask:
"People who have sent a nude to the wrong person, what happened?"
Business As Ususal...
"I sent pics of me flexing in boxers to one of my best clients via email."
"He had the same last name as the girl I was seeing and gmail auto suggested his contact instead of hers."
"I quickly sent an apology."
"He never mentioned it and neither did I."
"But I met him in person one time and he put his hand on my shoulder and said to his staff that i was 'so strong, so strong' (he's Vietnamese)."
"NGL, I died a bit inside since I completely forgot about it before that interaction."- 7hom
Shocking!!!
"My cousin sent me a snap once that was her in a long nightgown."
"Very conservative, nothing revealing or anything."
"I thought 'oh that's weird, whatever' and closed it."
"She texted me a minute later and told me that was meant for her fiancé."
"They're both pretty religious so this was their equivalent of sending nudes."- andyman492
Up And At' Em...
"Not sent to the wrong person, but the story fits."
"My coworker Betty was engaged to an Army guy (don't know exactly what he was), but she always talked about him and said he would constantly update on snap, showing what was going on, cool places, just regular snap things."
"So he sends a snap while about 10 of us are on break in the break room."
"Betty tells everyone, 'Gather around'."
"'Let's see what Ben is up to today!'"
"Everyone gathers around."
"She clicks the snap open."
"And it's just Ben's unit..."
"She just went dark red in the face, set her phone down, and walked away."- Mike____Honcho
Telling Someone Not To Do Something Almost Never Works...
"My best friend called me at 2 am, I woke up and answered since I figured it was an emergency."

" Funny" Probably Wasn't What She Was Going For...
"Not me, but my sister."
"I got a notification that my sister had sent me a snap."
"Almost immediately my wife got a phone call from my sister asking her to take my phone and not let me see the snap."
"Apparently she had been chatting with a guy who has the same first name as me and sent me a snap meant for him."
"I didn't look (and didn't want to, that's gross)."
"My wife saw it and said it was a pretty funny picture."- MontCoDubV

When You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say
"A friend sent her father a picture intended for her long-distance partner along with some vividly phrased text."

Innocent Bystander
"Accidentally added a second person to a dirty snap I sent my boyfriend."
"I realized it immediately and ended up just blocking that person on snapchat."
"Hopefully that prevented her from having to see it."
"I never really talked to her on there anyway, it was just a quick add from my phone contacts."
"If she did somehow end up seeing it, she was nice enough not to say anything to me about it."- jeanneeebeanneee
That's What Friends Are For...

ALWAYS.DOUBLE.CHECK...
"I was doing some shift work out of town and killing some time before bed."
"I was in a new-ish relationship so we couldn't keep our hands off each other when I was in town and sexted regularly when I wasn't."
"Unfortunately, this night I was also sporadically texting a work buddy about work stuff for the next day."
"I hit reply to the wrong notification and sent a peen pic."
"Realized what I did immediately and sent him a DON'T OPEN THAT!! text."
"It was too late."
"Thankfully, he was all good about it when I explained."
"And the woman I was seeing got a good laugh out it."
"Since then I double/triple check anything that's even remotely NSFW to make sure it's going to the right person."- greatbigCword
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger
"I was once sexting with this guy who has the same first two letters with my sister (we're not that close). Like the others, I accidentally sent it to her."

"Turns out it's normal for her too and even gave me tips lol (she's older)."
"We became close after that."- onetruefit
Mom To The Rescue, As Always...
"Not really sending a nude to the wrong person, but, my brother once passed out drunk and naked on the kitchen floor of family vacation."

If you can't be together, there is no harm in having a little naughty fun while apart.
Just make sure you're 100% certain you know who you're having this naughty fun with.
