According to the source of all knowledge (Wikipedia), sexting is "the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos, primarily between mobile phones". Then it goes on to talk, almost exclusively, about teen sexting. After a quick Google search of the term, the first page mostly references teens or infidelity.
What's up with that? I say sexting is a great communication tool for adults in long-term, committed, monogamous relationships. Sending a quick text that says "Can't w8 til u get home" says so much without saying much. If you want to be a bit more erotic in your text or send a pic/video, go for it!
Sending an unsolicited sext message to your partner accomplishes several things: 1 - Let's your partner know that you're thinking about him. This is especially nice if one of you travels a lot for work. 2 - Let's your partner know you still desire her. Doesn't matter if you've been together 2 years or 35 years, your partner still wants to feel wanted. 3 - Provides an opportunity to be intimate with your partner in a different way. 4 - Maintains or enhances your emotional bond while you're physically apart.
All of that from one little text! It takes less than a minute to send. You can do it just about anywhere and be discreet. If texting is part of your cellphone plan, there's no extra cost to you. What the heck are you waiting for?
**NOTE - There's an inherent element of trust that goes along with sending suggestive or erotic texts and pics. They're for your eyes only. So make sure if others have easy access to your phone (kids, assistant, friends, etc.) that you both regularly delete your messages.
