Jessica Smith, 41, of Sydney Road, Exeter, sent sexual messages to decoy social media accounts set up by so-called paedophile hunters.
She admitted three counts of attempting to incite a child to sexual activity and one of arranging to commit a child sex offence at Exeter Crown Court.
Smith was jailed for two years and ten months by Judge Peter Johnson.
She was also put on the sex offenders register for life.
Smith sent explicit sexual pictures to two profiles of fake 14-year-old girls in the summer of 2018 and asked them to reciprocate, the court heard.
She arranged for one to visit her at home in Sidbury near Sidmouth in Devon and asked the girl to bring along a 12-year-old friend.
The group who set up the account found Smith at their arranged meeting location and called Devon and Cornwall Police who arrested her.
While sentencing, the judge said to her: "You thought you were talking to someone aged 14 on social media and within ten minutes you turned the conversation to sexual matters.
"I fail to understand why you thought this was appropriate for any reason other than your sexual gratification."

Another thing that intrigues me is - what is the point of a bloke transgendering to become a lesbian? Seems like a waste of time and effort.
But only if such larger and more visible steps happen, a few more people wake up, and realise that "conspiracy theory" is not the opposite of "truth".
if IT has a penis, its a friggin MALE.. mentally challenged, mentally seriously fooked up.. blame the parents for cooking drugs when this thing was conceived, but then again, this thing had hidden agendas.. shoot it, or better yet, feed the fish, they are under fed at the minute..
your either male or female, penis=male, no penis=female, there is no inbetweens.. this thing, well, you know already, def a perv.. in need of a bullet and by the looks of it, a freakin shaving dish!!
but i stand true to that i have written, when the coyote caught the road runner then he ate it on a roadside bbq, many were upset and offended, but remember all things do end, do change and are born unto other things..
this he/she thinks opposite to what they are, even though biology doesnt lie, doesnt decieve, i stand true to that ive written, to those that are upset, ah well.. boohoo, sort it out.. biology is your answer, yet your mentality says different, this woke generation has now, and will forever change common sense to those that do not bend to these pathetic disgusting new ways of so called life,
im old school, and we old school learnt the hard way, we broke fingers, arms and legs to learn new ways of income, this generation ffs, bubble wrap and cotton balls, the way the world is turning is soft, very political, and if there was a draft to arms, to so called war break out, how many men would show up in a skirt saying they are women, and vice versa, its very very pathetic, and i of course blame the parents, for lack of so called discipline and common sense, maybe the new age battlefront will be a show of nail polish, long fingernails and mini skirts on so called men,
this gen are soft, bubble wrapped and spoilt, you discipline them then they cry, they boo hoo, at the end of the day its so called social media, for the fake friends, the fake attention the pretentiousness of feeling important to those you never met and will never ever meet in life, so................. sort it out, back of this evil twisted media, stop telling the world how mentally challenged you are, or you seem fit to challenge because you decide to wear the opposite sex underwear, some shit should be kept to yourself, otherwise if your a community member, useful in the eyes of others, a willful member of the human race, well done, but keep this under the belt crap irrelevant to life and its meaning to yourself, because your kind are the reason 5yr olds etc are on pills because they play with dolls instead of being hooked on pc games killing millions..
now look in the mirror, listen to that Michael Jackson song " man in the mirror" and get a basic idea of what your life plan is instead of this ego driven self boasting fake personality disorder most of you play on and with..
on a wild card note, no wonder any intelligent life forms from other planets have not contacted this rock, because there certainly is no intelligent life forms on this planet, and thats a fact, due to all this bullshit thats going on..
anyone else now would like to criticize this that ive written, mock me or create an argument? feel fookn free!!
ok, help me with the punctuation then.. were would i put the dots and commas??
" Smith sent explicit sexual pictures" - So I assume he is sending "dick-pics", which seems an rather odd thing for someone that claims to be a trapped female to do
