Sexy Texts: Good? Bad? Great?


Don't pretend that you have no idea what I'm talking about with this post headline.

If you've never been a recipient or sender of an inappropriate text message, then my friend, you are missing a true technology right of passage.

What's your take? Do you think sexy texts are acceptable, absolutely out of the question or as a seasoned pro, for you, this is a regular occurrence?

One of my good friends told me that, "Texting something wildly inappropriate to another person that you may be interested in, dating, or married to is a way to say something that you may not have to courage to say during a typical phone call. Embrace it. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Be smart. If you're not sure if the receiving party will dig this new uninhibited version of you, ease into it. Treat it just like face-to-face flirting. You'll pick-up if the vibe just isn't there.

One of my favorite sites, SheKnows.com, wrote about sexy texts back in 2008 and said "If you want more inspiration, Virgin Mobile might have you covered. A new site has been created called Let's Have Txt, which will teach you more about how to write those dirty messages that are so fun to send."

Go ahead. Enjoy the wonderful world of unlimited data plans, creative phrases and spark some enticing conversations!

I tried to check out the Virgin Mobile site, but it looks like Virgin cut the web sites life a bit short -- if you have any new destinations or tips of your own - send a comment :)

Hi, Lisa from Virgin Mobile here! Have you checked out the book "Flirtexting - how to text your way to his heart" by Debra Goldstein & Olivia Baniuszewicz? Definitely a great one for pointers on what to do (or not to do) when flirtexting! Here's their Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FLIRTEXTING/62902836146
