Sexting – The Hottest Thing Since Phone Sex

Two Seattle high school cheerleaders have been suspended from their squad after inappropriate pictures of the girls were circulated around campus via text.

Texts these two ladies sent to guys themselves.

Apparently, a simple “You’re cute” text is no longer enough in a relationship. Now, you gotta send nudey pics of yourself to your love interest, a trend brillantly titled, “sexting.” And the trend is catching on.

And we just don’t understand why. Have the Paris Hilton sex tape and those scandalous Miley Cyrus photos taught us nothing?! There are so many reasons Sexting is a terrible idea. Here are some of the biggies:

1. Who knows where that picture is going to end up?! You send it to someone who sends it to someone who passes it on to someone else. What if by some weird connection your DAD gets the pic? Ew.
2. Or worse…what if your boy toy isn’t the one who answered the text? We’ve all had our friends or family members grab our phones when they ring. What if that one time his dad picked it up?
3. Cameras add 10 pounds, REMEMBER?! You never look as good as you think you do…
4. On that note, isn’t it kind of hard to get the right angle on one of those things? You could end up with a double chin, or some freakish shadow that leaves your boy far from turned on when he begins to question when you grew a mustache. Unless of course you have someone else take it, which is all sorts of weird.
5. God forbid you two break up; oh the things he can do with that picture, the people he could send it to. Forget that run for President, Missy. This one is gonna be around forever.
6. What if you send it to Mom instead of Matt? Or Grandma instead of Greg?!
7. All those new high tech phones out there (iPhone, Blackberry Touch), have some pretty serious Zoom features. Imagine him using that. On your nipple.
8. He could open your pic at an inopportune time. Like when he’s at church. God is always watching…
9. …and so is the government. Think about it.
10. Nothing beats the real thing anyway. You don’t need a text message to spice things up with your boy. Try a little in-person strip tease or a hot shower. At least with those you know no one else is going to see.

Do you Sext?
