why do so many people want to meet on Skype.

Personally , I just can’t get into the Skype thing. I like the anticipation of planning and then meeting someone. The satisfaction of feeling them skin to skin in person. With Skype you never experience that and you never really get close to someone physically or emotionally, so what’s the point.

Can someone please explain?

I don't use Skype myself, but it seems fairly obvious:

-it's safer. No STDs, no meeting up with someone who might be crazy and violent, no chance of getting in trouble with the police.
-it's easier to back out if you aren't interested in the other person
-sometimes the physical aspect of sex is necessary or what you want
-some people are satisfied just being exposed
-it's easier, you don't have to go and drive somewhere
-you have more options, if you don't like the first person you match up with there are lots of other people available

I don't think that people wanting to meet up on Skype really reduces the number of people willing to hook up in person. People who want to hook up in person are always going to want that, and Skype isn't going to satisfy them.

It makes it less likely you're being catfished, before actually meeting up for one. Also, some people are in relationships and/or in the closet, so this let's them get some desires met while they're being "safer". Physically safer too, some people are fucking nuts. Still cheating in my eyes if someone is supposed to be monogamous, but that's a separate topic.

So far, I have only used SKYPE for business purposes.

Not that this applies any more; but I hated when I use to be in the LPSG chat room, and someone would ask me to SKYPE with them. I would always say no thank you; but I would ask why SKYPE when you are already in a video available chat room. What is the difference, why leave to log in somewhere else

I’ll agree with the safer part

There are ways to know you aren’t being catfishes...tricks of the trade.

I agree it’s still cheating too!

I don't get it either. I've used it in the past with those that I'm close to just to chat when we want to see each others faces, but for sexual experiences it wouldn't be for me. I've actually seen quite a few disclaimers on member's profiles stating that they don't skype so it isn't everyone's cup of tea. For those that do enjoy it then great. As @ronin001 said, I had to be on so many video conferences at work I think that I'll just stick to this. ;)

The most frequent thing I used Skype for, was when my partner and I were long distance. We did video calls every day. Otherwise? I've mostly used it for professional stuff.

I could see the long distance thing. I too use it for work too and maybe that’s partly why I also hate it. It just perplexed me why all these people want to do Skype sex...WTF

Yeah... Didn't really do much of anything like that on Skype, even with my sweetie. A bit of tease or flashing, but video play isn't really our gig. Different strokes for different folks *shrug*

I never done Skype. I used to like Yahoo messenger when that was a thing. I don't know what's really out there these days when it comes to instant messaging.

Skype sex really isn’t my thing either. Of course I’ve tried it one time watching some guy, but I was so bored I thought he would never finish. Then I had to close that account because he wouldn’t leave me alone. As if I was going to go through that agony again. I’d rather paint my house.

I do use Skype for business and to talk to family. If I met someone online, I might use it to prove they were who they said they were. But sex? No. I prefer the real thing.
