Most people in college have at least sexted once in their lifetime. It could of been just through text or even Snapchat.
First let me clarify some things, when people think of sexting, it's usually thought of as sending sexual pictures. However, sexting can also just be messaging someone in a sexy manner. I believe it is sometimes necessary to sext in order to see what the person you are going to be with wants and needs as a sexual being. In a relationship you need to know everything about a person to make it a healthy relationship.
These are the do's and don't's of sexting:
1. DO—Send it to the right person.
The worst thing that could happen is that you press send and it goes to your family or the rest of the world. Make sure to be vary cautious with that send button—It could really be a life or death situation. Just calmly take the pic or write the message and think to yourself, "Is this the person I want it to go to?"
2. DON'T—Show it all.
Leave some of yourself to the person's imagination. Baring it all is never fun, but having some secrets are. When texting, use sentences like "You will see" or "Come here and find out." They will be begging for more of you after you are done with them.
3. DO—Show your body, not your face.
Never, ever put your face in sext. I repeat: never, ever put your face in sext. If someone saves it and something goes wrong, it could be some dangerous blackmail, and that it is not fun. Make sure to just show your body and not use anything that would distinctly link to you.
4. DON'T—Keep the person waiting for too long.
That is such a turn off for anyone when they have to wait for you to reply or even look at the sext that was sent. Try to reply in an instant and if you are somewhere public, just send a sexy message—I do not think they will mind a bit. You can even keep some backup photos on your phone for these instances.
5. DO—Tap into your fantasies.
Share with each other things you have always wanted to do, but have never gotten the chance to do. Share with each other those crazy and weird sexual desires and play on them in words while texting. It gets heated real quick when you know what each other like and you work that into your sexting.
6. DO—Avoid Emojis.
Nothing is less sexy than a poop emoji while sexting. It does not do anything for you when you are sexting. Please just avoid Emojis and everyone can just be a little happier. Don't get me wrong, Emojis are super cute when flirting, just not sexting, so just try to avoid them at all costs.
7. DO—Delete as you go.
Do not keep your sexts. You never know who will go through your phone and find the texts you sent. It does not look good on you or on them when anyone is sexting. This is especially true if a family member starts looking at your messages—that is a no-no. Delete your texts and everything will be OK.
8. DON'T—Use sexting a substitute for the real thing.
I know in the 21st century we are more into phone relationships than real genuine ones, but that is no excuse. Nothing can compare to having real sex. Sexting may be easy to do on the go, but sex is sex and nothing can take that away. So please remember to put down your phone and have safe, consensual sex
