16 Things You'll Only Understand If You've Sexted Before

    If you've ever sexted, you'll know these scenarios pretty well.

    1. You pretend to be in sexy mode, but actually you're mopping the floor, washing the dishes, or maybe even scrubbing the toilet.

    2. When they ask you what you're wearing, you describe your sexiest outfit (or what it would look like if you had it), but in reality...

    3. You have received help from an entire writing team (your friends) in order to craft the perfect messages.

    4. You say dirty, bold, and even flat-out ridiculous stuff, but you wouldn't dare reproduce them in person.

    5. You don't show your face in any of those pictures.

    6. If you're a guy and you're asked for a picture, you always, ALWAYS send the same thing.

    7. You've been told things that were so obscure that you had to look them up to know what they were.

    8. Sexting someone while simultaneously texting your mother is one of the worst ideas you've ever had... and perhaps your last.

    9. You received a nude without warning while you were in the office, and you opened it on your work computer. Casual.

    10. You know that the most traumatic experience a human being can go through is to accidentally mark a nude as "read."

    11. You've ended up aching all over (your fingers) from having sex all night long (via text messages).

    12. You're pro level, you can create a whole erotic novel using just this simple set of emojis.

    13. You didn't feel like taking pictures so you sent pictures of a random person on the Internet who looked like you.

    14. It's inevitable: if you do it in a public space, there will always be someone who glances over at your cellphone and sees.

    15. You know that behind every good nude there are 597 failed attempts.

    16. And your ultimate worst nightmare: lending your cellphone to your mom and getting a hot message just at that moment.
