According to Debra Goldstein and Olivia Baniuszewicz,authors of Flirtexting,text messaging is the most widely used mobile data service on the planet,reports Fox News. But,not everyone knows the proper textiquette of efficiently utilising their mobile phones for pleasure,and thus there are rules to this messaging madness. The seven rules of sexting are: 1. Timing is everything While it can be tempting to respond right away,being overly eager can be a turn off. This is especially true for those just getting to know each other. Rein in your enthusiasm from time to time,using time as a tease in responding to certain text messages TMs. This makes you appear laid back and easy-going. This increases the perception that youre fun to hang out with,and more... 2. Texting has a curfew Know that if you TM somebody after 10 pm,its considered a late-night booty call. 3. Dont beat around the bush TMs can be easily misunderstood. People like them for the fact theyre succinct and direct. You want to flirt,and with that hint. Just dont be cryptic. These are supposed to be time-saving titillations. 4. Dont drink and text Getting drunk equals getting stupid. And while it can be funny,its not so sexy. So stick with sober messages. 5. Avoid breaking major news via text Texting should not involve first professions of love,marriage proposals or the breaking of bad news. 6. Discretion is the best option If youre sexting more than one person,do not leave your phone out while on a date. Do not check your phone in front of a date. Turn off your phone if you find yourself having a sleepover. 7. Proofread Any TMs involving sexual encounters,especially those complemented by racy pictures,need to be double-checked. It should be sent to the intended receiver.
