"Sexting": Do You Think It's Okay?

"Sexting" is the term created to describe sending someone erotic text messages, often including nude or partially nude photos. A lot of people do it and in a lot of cases they end up regretting it when the intended party forwards it to friends or in more outrageous cases, they somehow end up going public. Sometimes people break up and because they are upset with their ex, they set out to embarrass or hurt them by making intimate images of them public. Now, I also think that "sexting" is a good way to keep things alive within a long term relationship especially if you all have to be a part for a while or even if you just want to be spontaneous to spice things up, I'd just say tread lightly in doing this. You never know how things will turn out and technology is most definitely a blessing and a curse. It has made it much easier to communicate and keep up with people, but it has also caused people a lot of pain a strife. I'm not saying you should never send a naughty text or pic to your significant other nor am I saying that every person who receives those types of messages show friends or tries to make them public. What I am saying though, is that you should think long and hard before sending out those types of messages because you just never know whether or not that could come back to hunt you or whether or not someone will use them against you. Do think it's ever okay to send "sexts"? Have you ever shown "sexts" that you've gotten to your friends?
