Sexting

noun: [ mass noun] informal the sending of sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone

Forty years ago (probably ten), the new craze would have never happened. Perhaps it was due to the fact that mobile phones weren’t glued to everyones side but it’s more likely that the chastity belt has been removed from society. Or so we like to think.

Now, sexting is deemed a legitimate word - well it’s been added to the dictionary at least. I don’t know how, or why, we didn’t think of it sooner. With power and sex becoming closer than ever, we can’t deny it’s good to know the other person is thinking of you when they shouldn’t be.

However, we must be aware all dirty texts are cheesy. If someone actually ever said one out loud to me, I would die of embarrassment but read on a screen? Absolutely fine. In fact, better than that: a force to be reckoned with. Of course, a few small white lies are needed - it is very rare for someone in an office to be wearing no underwear. But with reality bent and the other person miles away, suddenly you can feel the sexiest woman alive.

Of course, we all know it can go wrong. My personal favourite is the proof that you should never run simultaneous conversations at the same time as sexting someone.

 But still. It’s a pretty good way to occupy time: just be careful if your boyfriends name is 'Dave.'
