Precaution. Sexting is an art form — if done the right way. If not, it can be a total fail and can turn into a completely uncomfortable situation for all parties involved. That’s why it’s important to proceed with precaution.
Quit while you’re ahead. If the person you’re sexting is unresponsive after the 17th butt pic you’ve sent of yourself, they’re either too busy playing video games, or clearly uninterested. Learn to take a hint, and move on to the next guy in your little black (phone) book.
Exes. Your mind might trick you into thinking it’s a good idea after a bottle and a half of wine, but sexting your ex is NEVER a good idea. Especially if this is a relationship that ended years ago, and he’s now happily married with two kids. Sexting someone that has clearly moved on from you is only going to result in your self-esteem taking a huge blow.
Know your sextet. Hold back on firing away those nudes you have saved in your sexting folder for situations like this right away. Feel out the situation for a few days, and figure out what this person is into. This might come as a shock to you, but not everyone is into sexting.
Emojis. Steer clear of using emojis. The bad thing about emojis is that they can be easily misinterpreted. Emojis have a wide range of meanings, and while the peach emoji and the eggplant emoji can be seen as euphemisms for sexy body parts, the person you’re sexting may just assume you’re really hungry and wonder why you’re associating sex with fruits and vegetables.
Environment. Be wary of what your surroundings look like when you decide to send off that sext that may or may not have taken you a few hours to perfect. While that shot of your butt might be under the perfect lighting, you may have failed to notice those discarded tampon wrappers in the background or your pile of stained period underwear from last week sitting in the corner of your perfect butt pic.
Drafts. Don’t send sexts that are clearly generic and you’ve obviously sent to 10 other people. Chances are, the person on the receiving end of your sext will be able to recognize it’s unoriginality, and call you out on it. They’ll also just assume you’ve creepily compiled a draft of sexts ready to send out in case of emergency (you have, but who has to know)?
Family. Don’t sext someone when you know they’re in the middle of a family event. Nothing says “creep” more than telling someone you can’t wait for them to come over and penetrate you right after they’ve told you they’re spending the day with their grandma. (Side note: don’t use the word penetrate either, you creep).
Captions. Don’t send naked pictures of yourself with creepy captions underneath them. A picture of your vagina with the caption “enter with caution” might not be as sexy to the person you’re sending them to as you imagined it’d be in your head.
Accident. Avoid sending “accidental” sexts. While there are plenty of hilarious stories out there of people who have accidentally sexted their parents, chances are, you didn’t accidentally sext your crush, and he knows it. Avoid the false pretenses and sext whoever you want without shame.
Originality. Under no circumstances should you ever be sending pictures or sexts that aren’t your original work. For example, a picture of your naked butt that is clearly a different skin tone than yours will be pretty noticeable. In fact, you’ll just look creepy for going out of your way to google “pictures of fat butts,” to send to your significant other.
Death threats. Steer clear of anything that sounds even remotely like you’re going to cause them to fear for their life. While some men like a little bit of aggression, telling them you’re going to strangle them after they’ve made you orgasm might be taking it just a little too far.
Corny. Don’t throw in any cliches or corny jokes. Not only will you come off as a creep, but no one wants to picture sexting their mom or dad, which is exactly what you sound like to them.
Shadow. Don’t include any pictures of your sexts with your exes in the background. If it’s clearly obvious you didn’t take that picture yourself, and his shadow is lurking in the background, don’t send it. The least you could do is crop out his shadow!
Edit. Don’t over edit your sexts to the point that you're almost unrecognizable. You can do that in real life, by choosing the right angles and lighting. After all, sexting is just one huge optical illusion, am I right?
