Sexting and virtual sexuality is as innocent as video games with murder?

I haven't sexted in a few months but sometimes I get thoughts of relapsing. I've been writing down the thoughts and sometimes countering them. Recently I had this thought:

"Sexting and virtual sexuality is as innocent as observing or recreating destruction and murder in video games."

Now destruction and murder in my video games are rated by the ESRB. My favorite video games are usually rated E and are not too violent. The destruction and murder is usually for righteous reasons, like a hero defeating bad guys. The destruction and violence is usually against monsters or fictional animals.

Even when I sought to recreate or strengthen my engagement with the virtual murder and destruction, it was usually through trying to join the army, fight crime, or buy more video games.

My sexting and virtual sexuality is not rated by any organization. If anything, it is modeled by groups that promote sex. Sex is not righteous. Sex can hurt both participants with STIs. It can't be used efficiently to bring about justice.

Sex is not with monsters or fictional animals but with humans. Sex is a social activity. Virtual sex and groups promoting sex may create fictional scenes, but the particpants and actors of those scenes are usually modeled after humans. So when attempting to recreate sex or sexuality virtually, I tend to try to recreate it with online women. Virtual sex and sexuality usually can not be enjoyed in isolation, unlike video games of virtual destruction.

Virtual sex is different and more dangerous than virtual destruction in video games.
