What to do if…
someone repeatedly asks for your home address after sexual chatting and you feel pressured to share it

Short answer

Do not share your home address. The safest immediate move is to slow the interaction down, stop answering address questions, and switch to protecting your privacy and safety.

Do not do these things

  • Do not give your full address, postcode, building name, flat number, or any “partial” version to get them off your back.
  • Do not send live location, a doorstep photo, a view from your window, or anything that could identify your home.
  • Do not let them rush you into proving trust, loyalty, or interest by sharing personal details.
  • Do not move the conversation onto a more private app just because they insist.
  • Do not argue for a long time once you have decided not to share it.
  • Do not meet them at your home or let them collect you from home.
  • If you may want to report this later, do not delete the whole conversation straight away; keep a few clear screenshots first.

What to do now

  1. Stop giving more personal information. Do not confirm where you live, whether you live alone, your routine, your workplace, or nearby landmarks.

  2. Send one brief boundary message, then stop discussing it. Something like: “I’m not sharing my address.” You do not need to explain, negotiate, or soften it.

  3. Take screenshots that show the pattern. Capture their username, profile, the repeated requests, and any pressure, threats, guilt-tripping, or sexual coercion.

  4. Block or restrict them on the app or platform if you want the contact to stop. Also check whether the app lets you report unwanted sexual pressure, harassment, or unsafe behaviour.

  5. Tighten your account privacy now. Hide location details, remove hometown or workplace information, switch off contact syncing if relevant, and review who can message you.

  6. Check whether anything you already shared could reveal your address indirectly. Look at old photos, parcel labels, calendar screenshots, food delivery screenshots, ride-share screenshots, and public profiles.

  7. If you feel frightened, watched, or the contact keeps continuing across accounts, treat it as a safety issue, not just an awkward chat. In the UK, repeated unwanted online contact may amount to stalking or harassment, and you can contact the police if you feel unsafe.

  8. Get specialist support if the sexual pressure is leaving you shaken or stuck. If something sexual happened without your consent, or you are not sure, you can contact Rape Crisis England & Wales for support without committing yourself to reporting anything.

  9. If they are threatening to share intimate images, or hinting they can expose you unless you cooperate, get help with the platform and account safety quickly. The Revenge Porn Helpline supports adults in the UK affected by intimate image abuse, including threats to share intimate images.

What can wait

You do not need to decide right now whether to report them, confront them again, meet them, explain yourself better, or sort out every privacy setting perfectly. The urgent part is simply not giving your address and stopping the pressure from getting closer to your real life.

Important reassurance

Feeling frozen, embarrassed, conflicted, or worried that you “led them on” is a very common reaction. Someone pressuring you for your address after sexual chatting does not create an obligation to share it.

Scope note

This is first steps only. Later decisions about reporting, ongoing safety, or legal options may need specialist help.
