For some context, I am an 18-year-old male and am a virgin. As a solution to the last part of the context, I decided to delve into some deep, NSFW corners of the internet.

I found a kink-centered website called FetLife (18 ) and tried my luck there. I found a group on there that centered on the fetishization of my particular racial group and joined. I eventually found someone on there who posted a request for a chat, and I obliged. Her profile said she was 18, although she wasn't verified, and she had nudes on there.

She asked for pictures from me, and me being the unbelievable fucking idiot that I am, I gave her nudes. To explain this a little, a lot of messages and posts on that site are sexual in nature, and I had sent pics like that with no issue before that. That was followed by messages that were very sexual. She then asked if I was really 18. After I said yes, I asked that question right back at her (interspersed with more sexual innuendos), and she said, "Yeah..." That vague answer, ellipses included, caused me to ask if she was lying. She then told me that she was 16.

I immediately deleted my NSFW pics, said "bye-bye," and left. I blocked her and then reported her account to the website's moderators. I received a notification that something was done about her account.

I have been racked with guilt ever since. I feel like the offenders who are exposed in the YouTube videos that I watch. I know I did the right thing by stopping immediately after she said she was 16, but that doesn't offer any consolation to the fact that I never asked her her age and just assumed she was 18 based off of the profile. I don't really know what to do with this guilt and what could happen to me, or if I'm completely in the wrong here.
