What is a thirst trap on TikTok?
Thirst traps are all about posting a “Sexy” video of yourself to make people “thirsty” for you. It is a way to get immediate likes, comments, shares, and engagement to your posts and get an instant boost of self-confidence and validation from society to make you feel better.
Urban Dictionary defines Thirst Trap as –
A sexy photograph or flirty message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to publicly profess their attraction. This is done not to actually respond or satisfy any of this attraction, but to feed the posters ego or need for attention, at the expense of the time, reputation and sexual frustration of those who view the image or reply.
“Hey guys, are these shorts too tight?”
“Screw off with your thirst trap.”
