The Ploy of Sext: A Warning and A Guide to the Art of Karma Cell-tra.

PART TWO

I have come up with a set of rules to follow, so that if you decide to sext, you'll be facing a minimum of blowback or embarrassment.

Note: twodaymag cannot be held responsible if you make an ass out of yourself.

NO FACES
When sending out a revealing photo, there is no real need to include your face. While you'll never fool anyone who has met your naked body in person, it could increase deniability in case the photo ever turns up in a co-worker's e-mail, on Facebook, or perhaps the local church bulletin.
 
NO IDENTIFYING LOCATIONS, PHOTOS, OR FURNITURE IN THE BACKGROUND.
When doing research for another article about personal websites, I terrifyingly identified three people I knew because of a family photo in the background, an antique curio, and a familiar chair in a familiar home.  I have never breathed a word of this to them, but not everyone is like me.  Keep the backgrounds non-descript, please!
 
TAKE A FLATTERING PICTURE. 
This one should go without saying.  However, this does not mean use the same one over and over again.  Each one should be unique; it means more to the recipient that way.  Also, don’t sext and drive. That’s just dumb. And blurry.
 
IF CHEATING ON SOMEONE, SEND EVERY NAUGHTY TEXT TO BOTH YOUR PARTNER AND YOUR LOVER. 
Look, I am not condoning cheating, but shit happens. If you are cheating and he or she is snooping through your phone, the whole "trust" thing has been blown out of the water anyway. By sending the texts to both, your partner will only find the sexts he or she expects.

BONUS RULE FOR MEN ONLY:  NO PICTURES OF YOUR WANG.
While Men are visual creatures - remember this - women are not as visually stimulated as we are.  If you have a good body, shaved your unsightly body hair, and just feel like taking a picture while coming out of the shower to send to your lady friend, more power to you.  However, make sure that she WANTS that sort of picture.  Bella recounted a story about how a friend of hers had just broken up with a boyfriend that Bella secretly liked when he sent her an unsolicited picture of his erection. Needless to say, good feelings gone. Guys, some of our parts aren't exactly photogenic. 
 
Just as the internet is simultaneously a gateway to untold amounts of information and pornography, it seems that the digital cameras, especially those on cell phones, are both a great convenience for both those magical moments when all you have is your phone and those magical moments when you really want to send a picture of your junk to someone special. In essence, caution when clicking.
