Recently, I discovered something about Twitter that I had no idea existed.

Maybe because I’m naive. Maybe because my engagement on Twitter didn’t trigger the algorithm to show me this side of the social media platform. Whatever the reason, I stumbled upon Sex Twitter.

While doing some topic research for articles, I entered the general word “sex” into my research tool. One of the terms that showed up was Sex Twitter — with an enormous amount of monthly searches.

Curious, I clicked on the term to find out exactly what it meant. I had no idea what I was about to learn.

The more I dug into it, the more I found myself wondering, is Sex Twitter good or bad? Should we cancel it or celebrate it? Should we march in the streets or enjoy it in the sheets?

Let’s explore the sexy side of Twitter.

What Is Sex Twitter?

Sex Twitter is a part of Twitter that is not safe for work (NSFW).

When I clicked through to the actual Twitter feeds, I found myself staring at multiple accounts that posted nothing but porn. I’m not talking about blurred images that take you to another site.
