Sexting! positive or DANGEROUS?

Hey Blog Readers!
My focus today is on the act of Sexting in any romantic relationship because it is super common with all of the texting we do daily to keep the spark alive with a guy we are hooking up with, a new love, a long-term or long-distance relationship, or older married couples who are spicing up their workday with some virtual lovin'. So the question is: "are we all guilty of sexting?" It is super popular among teens these days because it is more personal and concealed to their private cell phone than out in the open on the internet or phone sex. Sexting is as discrete as a married couple can be and as fun as a long-distance couple can make it because of their separation.  While sexting can get out of control among underage teenagers, it goes beyond flirtatious texting and takes texting to a whole new provocative level that can really keep things romantic while on-the-go.

There are so many repercussions and dangers to sending naked photos I would simply say: delete, delete, delete! This way, you can arouse your partner in the intended way that the message was supposed to convey, but this leaves more romance for later. Not only is it good advice to delete the picture after a glace just for safety, but it also leaves the receiver want more and if you delete it you will have control to wait for the bedroom! I think sexting can be a good way for long term and long distance couples to keep attune to the sexual desires that each other craves. It can be healthy to take things beyond flirtation with your romantic relationship because it leaves the other wanting more and it shows the "danger factor." Living on the edge with the scandalous sexting can leave a guy's mouth watering and it is very dangerous to mix private feelings with technology because mistakes happen. What if the receiver of the naked picture accidentally sends it to his whole contact list including his or her mom! Im sure this has happened before but it is part of the "danger." Just please make sure that you trust that you are sending this to the proper phone before sending and that you TRUST that he or she will not send it to their buddies. There is risk, danger and possible high reward for sexting and the element of technology now makes foreplay even more accessible...its in your pocket in your inbox now! While I am not advocating this, I studied abroad and I think that sexting keeps things as normal as possible long distance. This is a technological advancement that makes romance even more dangerous and accessible. Just beware of the risk involved but use sexting as a responsible sexual means to let your partner know how you feel about them and keep it as an option :)
