Sexy Texting, or Sexting
Welcome to Fun Tip Tuesday #3.
Want to make your other smile from far away in 30 seconds or less? Try sexting him or her. Sexting is pretty much flirting in a sexy way via text messages. I discovered the power of sexy texting from the Anonymous8 (of course). Our discussions around this were pretty enlightening and humorous so I had to share. Plus, when I told the stories to a couple of friends, they had started out shy, but quickly became sexy texting converts.
The sexting discussion began when one of the Anonymous8 had lunch with a friend and suggested that her friend text her husband a sexy and suggestive text. The friend, a little demure, responded, “No waaaaay, I couldn’t do that.” Her husband, a big executive, adores his wife, and he is a busy guy. So, after some prodding, she got over her fear and pushed send on a text message along these lines…
“You looked really good this morning getting out of the shower. Can’t wait til you get home and we have some time alone. xoxoxo”
She went back to eating her lunch. Thirty seconds later, her cell phone rang. Oh goodness, it was her husband. She looks up and asks, “What do I do?”
“Pick up the phone,” the exasperated Anonymous8 member commanded. Anyways, he was calling to find out what that text was about. She had certainly gotten his attention, and the surprise and unexpected message made his day, and possibly even his night.
Some Specific Examples of Sexy Texting
Sexy texting can have all sorts of themes and tones. Messages can range from the sweet “I’m thinking about you” to the sultry “I’m thinking about doing ________ to you.” They can be funny – “After our steamy night last night, I’m having a hard time walking” to the complimentary “You looked great in (or out of) those jeans this morning.”
I think you get the point. It’s about surprise and suggestiveness and creativity and humor and checking in and letting your other know you are thinking about him or her. Share your favorite texting ideas or exchanges with the rest of us below. The more ideas, the better for us all.

Stopping by SITS to say hello.
Thanks for stopping by!
Between my man and I we both travel a lot for work, so there are lots of late night or early morning texts that go along the lines of either good morning or goodnight “In a comfy bed, wishing you were here with me sexy” It makes both of us smile, and makes the time away a bit more bearable.
Yes, that sounds nice. Just checking in – plus!
Yes! We do this all the time and sometimes send pictures too. We erase those pretty quickly as the kids sometimes use our cell phones. But they help us to let each other know we are thinking about the other.
Love the pictures. Good that they get erased!
Thanks for this. Confessionsofalovingwife gives a nice overview of the topic and refers to this post!
You might want to make sure who you’re texting to before hitting send
It would be mighty embarrassing to have one of my teens getting it! LOL!
If the texting is getting you in a mood – I hear that there are apps for your phone as well to turn them into your own personal toy. Not that I know…but someone told me. A friend.
Pam you have been wonderful to my site, so I want to thank you for that. As far as apps, if you do know, or if you know someone who knows more, I’d love to speak with him or her.
I can see how sending a text randomly would pique intrigue and make them want to come home asap. Sadly, I have to be careful sending texts to my husband’s phone while he’s working. Never know who’s working with him or if he even has his phone on him at any given time. Knowing my luck, I’d send a text or picture and he’d be away, his boss would grab his phone to give it to him and he’d see. Eep!
That’s too bad. Maybe a simple “I’m thinking of you, and if you aren’t my husband, you shouldn’t be looking at his phone” would do it?
I find that sexting is a very good idea. Me and my girlfriend are apart for a good amount of time and have schedules that just don’t help. My day usually starts at around 2:45 a.m. and goes on until 4:00 p.m. So finding time to talk on the phone is really hard. I really look forward to the time that I have to be able to send her a message that I hope would make her smile or maybe squirm a little in excitement in her chair. Most times I know she won’t reply to a message that I send early in the morning, but I feel that sending something she can wake up to when she starts her day is a good way to hopefully start her day off with a little excitement and spark. Give her a little something to think about throughout the day. I highly recommend sexting for couples who have busy schedules that just don’t provide them with enough time to talk on the phone. It adds great excitement to a relationship.
Hi Justin,
Thanks for visiting. Love it when the men stop by and offer their perspective. Nice when it seems to confirm what we’ve heard from the female end.
