<strong>what</strong> <strong>are</strong><br />
<strong>you</strong> <strong>wearing</strong><br />
<strong>right</strong> <strong>now</strong>?
Anyone who thinks they’ll<br />
be able to track down<br />
The One without k<strong>now</strong>ing<br />
how to turn their phone<br />
into an object of lust has<br />
another thing coming.<br />
Sexting is practically a<br />
requirement for living<br />
in the 21st century, no<br />
longer the reserve of<br />
predatory creeps or<br />
girls who give HJs to<br />
exchange students, being<br />
able to communicate<br />
just how horny <strong>you</strong><br />
<strong>are</strong> over iMessage or<br />
Snapchat is a life skill,<br />
and <strong>you</strong>’re going to have<br />
to learn how to do it.<br />
According to TIME<br />
magazine, four out of<br />
five college kids sext on<br />
the regular. As Benjamin<br />
Franklin once said, “In<br />
this world, nothing can<br />
be certain, except death<br />
and taxes and that <strong>you</strong><br />
will at some point be<br />
awake at 3 AM struggling<br />
to think of a fourth<br />
nongross synonym for<br />
vagina/penis.” Frequent<br />
sexters <strong>are</strong> no longer just<br />
a bunch of teens furtively<br />
sending each other dick<br />
pics with the caption “u<br />
like? ;)”—the sexting<br />
landscape is <strong>now</strong> dotted<br />
with old marrieds, yuppies,<br />
and regular everyday<br />
humans like <strong>you</strong> and me.<br />
So, on the off chance<br />
that <strong>you</strong> and I ever bump<br />
into each other in sext<br />
land, here’s how to<br />
keep me interested.
1 don’t get ahead<br />
of <strong>you</strong>rself
Frances!<br />
I am so lonely I can hardly bear it. As<br />
one needs happiness so have I needed<br />
love; that is the deepest need of the<br />
human spirit. And as I love <strong>you</strong> utterly,<br />
so have <strong>you</strong> <strong>now</strong> become the whole<br />
world of my spirit. It is beside and<br />
beyond anything that <strong>you</strong> can ever<br />
do for me; it lies in <strong>what</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong>, dear<br />
love — to me so infinitely lovely that<br />
to be near <strong>you</strong>, to see <strong>you</strong>, hear <strong>you</strong>, is<br />
<strong>now</strong> the only happiness, the only life, I<br />
k<strong>now</strong>. How long these hours <strong>are</strong> alone!<br />
Dear Frances, let us make and<br />
keep our love more beautiful than<br />
any love has ever been before.<br />
Forever, de<strong>are</strong>st one.<br />
If <strong>you</strong>’re just starting out,<br />
three to four words <strong>are</strong> all<br />
<strong>you</strong> need.<br />
wanna see my<br />
penis?<br />
Betty
Steven,<br />
It was not hard for me to fall in love<br />
with <strong>you</strong>. You <strong>are</strong> so easy to love.<br />
The hardest part is being away from<br />
<strong>you</strong>, but I k<strong>now</strong> that the best part is<br />
when we will be together again.<br />
I’m longing for that moment and <strong>you</strong>r<br />
touch. God k<strong>now</strong>s how much I miss <strong>you</strong>.<br />
We may be apart, but my love for<br />
<strong>you</strong> stays stronger and sweeter.<br />
F.<br />
A length limit forces <strong>you</strong><br />
to get straight to the<br />
point and eliminates<br />
the possibility of<br />
embarrassing <strong>you</strong>rself<br />
by using adjectives like<br />
“pulsing,” which makes<br />
<strong>you</strong>r pussy or dick sound<br />
like the still-beating heart<br />
of a butchered mammal.<br />
<strong>you</strong>. Me.back of<br />
my car tonight?
Damien, I honestly believe that undying<br />
hope can do wonders in this world.<br />
Now, I see and hear and read about<br />
injustices all the time... And yes, I<br />
hate it—but nothing has ever gotten<br />
through to me like <strong>you</strong> did. It gives<br />
me goose bumps just by thinking <strong>what</strong><br />
I’ll do to <strong>you</strong>r body. Maybe it’s because<br />
<strong>you</strong> remind me a little about myself,<br />
maybe growing up the way we did.<br />
Getting to k<strong>now</strong> someone by writing.<br />
It’s quite wonderful and mysterious.<br />
Mary<br />
I guess if <strong>you</strong> were really<br />
fucking twee, <strong>you</strong> could<br />
imagine <strong>you</strong>r sext as the<br />
21st-century equivalent<br />
of a candy love heart, but<br />
instead of “Fax Me” <strong>you</strong>’re<br />
writing, “I wanna fuck <strong>you</strong><br />
in a bodega.”<br />
i want u inside<br />
me
2 don’t<br />
abbreviate
I’m getting to like <strong>you</strong> so tremendously<br />
that it some times sc<strong>are</strong>s me...having<br />
told <strong>you</strong> so much of me—more than<br />
anyone else I k<strong>now</strong>—could anything<br />
else follow but that I should want <strong>you</strong>...<br />
How I wanted to photograph please<br />
<strong>you</strong>—<strong>you</strong>r hands, <strong>you</strong>r mouth, & eyes,<br />
the touch of white, & the throat but I<br />
didn’t want to break into <strong>you</strong>r time.<br />
Gina<br />
It’s 2013, and I k<strong>now</strong><br />
<strong>you</strong>’re not typing out every<br />
letter individually on <strong>you</strong>r<br />
Motorola Razr, but Y R U<br />
choosin 2 talk lik a tween?<br />
Who culd eva b trnd on by<br />
dis??<br />
No one wants to be<br />
deciphering <strong>you</strong>r sexual<br />
hieroglyphics when they<br />
could be quietly shifting<br />
in their lecture seat so the<br />
seam of their jeans hits<br />
things just <strong>right</strong>.<br />
i wnt to take u<br />
2 a plce calld<br />

George,<br />
I could take my life up again<br />
courageously if I only understood;<br />
for <strong>what</strong>ever those months were to<br />
<strong>you</strong>, to me they were a great gift, a<br />
wonderful enrichment; & still I rejoice<br />
& give thanks for them! can I have my<br />
way with <strong>you</strong>? You woke me from a<br />
long lethargy, a dull acquiescence in<br />
conventional restrictions, a needless<br />
self-effacement. How can <strong>you</strong> turn me on<br />
so much just by looking at me? If I was<br />
awkward & inarticulate it was because,<br />
literally, all one side of me was asleep.<br />
“RU horny” is the textmessage<br />
equivalent of<br />
giving someone a wedgy<br />
as a flirting tactic. It also<br />
implies there’s a 14-yearold<br />
on the other end of the<br />
phone, which, again, is<br />
not ideal in this situation.<br />
wat were<br />
<strong>you</strong> thinking<br />
yesterday when<br />
yur hands were<br />
all over me?<br />
Yours,<br />
Joan
3 watch <strong>you</strong>r<br />
visuals
What do I want from <strong>you</strong>? Sometimes<br />
I feel I’m going stark mad, that I ought<br />
to say...De<strong>are</strong>st, <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong> so much to me<br />
that <strong>you</strong> must not come near with me.<br />
Coming may bring <strong>you</strong> darkness instead<br />
of light and I got a plan for the both of us,<br />
but it involves my bed in it aswell and it’s<br />
in everlasting light that <strong>you</strong> should live.<br />
Jen<br />
Guys: maybe don’t send<br />
<strong>you</strong>r sext partner a closeup<br />
picture of <strong>you</strong>r erect<br />
penis unless they have<br />
expressed an active<br />
interest in seeing a closeup<br />
picture of <strong>you</strong>r erect<br />
penis.<br />
u can look at it<br />
BUT <strong>you</strong> cannot<br />
touch it, YET.
Rosie,<br />
I’m standing staring at my surroundings,<br />
but my mind keeps drifting back <strong>you</strong><br />
to and how good we <strong>are</strong> together, why<br />
<strong>are</strong> <strong>you</strong> keeping me starved?. I can still<br />
taste the sweetness of <strong>you</strong>r lips against<br />
mine; im talking about the ones I can<br />
see, <strong>you</strong> still have to show me those other<br />
ones the feeling of <strong>you</strong>r skin as I slide<br />
my fingers along <strong>you</strong>r silky smoothness.<br />
Until our next kiss,<br />
Albert<br />
Most people don’t really<br />
need an image of the<br />
isolated naked mole rat to<br />
get themselves off, and if<br />
it’s too early in the sexting<br />
process, it’s actually just<br />
very f<strong>right</strong>ening. You k<strong>now</strong><br />
how people say actions<br />
speak louder than words?<br />
That is not true of sexting;<br />
sexting is like erotic<br />
literature, the pictures do<br />
it no justice.<br />
thinkng of<br />
havin some<br />
peaches and<br />
cream tonite,<br />
with <strong>you</strong>.
Teddy,<br />
I was thinking we should go to that new<br />
italian restaurant for dinner tonight.<br />
Wana skip dinner and eat something<br />
a little more delicious instead? It’ll be<br />
just like one of those first dates we<br />
had. The ones where we couldn’t stop<br />
smiling. Let me k<strong>now</strong> <strong>what</strong> <strong>you</strong> think.<br />
Marlene<br />
The same goes for <strong>you</strong><br />
ladies: that straight-up<br />
shot of a vag comes<br />
across more medical<br />
than saucy. Would <strong>you</strong><br />
fuck someone in a onesie<br />
with a hole in it? No?<br />
So consider the bigger<br />
picture.<br />
Send me pics?<br />
the ones <strong>you</strong><br />
havnt sent to<br />
anybody<br />
Trust me, <strong>you</strong>’ll get better<br />
results from a pic of <strong>you</strong>r<br />
full bod in some cute<br />
underwear.
Tami;<br />
All this madness, if I asked it of <strong>you</strong>, I<br />
k<strong>now</strong>, in <strong>you</strong>r silence, there would be<br />
only confusion. I ask <strong>you</strong> for violence,<br />
in the nonsense, and <strong>you</strong>, <strong>you</strong> give me<br />
grace, <strong>you</strong>r light and <strong>you</strong>r warmth.<br />
I’d like to paint <strong>you</strong>, but there <strong>are</strong> no<br />
colors, because there <strong>are</strong> so many,<br />
in my confusion, the tangible form<br />
of my great love. but im am sending<br />
<strong>you</strong> ths text with one hand, my other<br />
hand is busy. Come and join me.<br />
I love <strong>you</strong>.<br />
Greg<br />
Everyone: the recipient<br />
is almost certainly going<br />
to show this picture to at<br />
least one of their friends<br />
at some point. If <strong>you</strong>’re not<br />
OK with that, don’t include<br />
<strong>you</strong>r face. If <strong>you</strong> look<br />
smoking hot, absolutely<br />
do. If Rihanna’s going to,<br />
<strong>you</strong> might as well.<br />
wut <strong>are</strong> <strong>you</strong><br />
<strong>wearing</strong> <strong>right</strong><br />
<strong>now</strong>?
4 there <strong>are</strong><br />
no rules
It’s the simple things about <strong>you</strong> that<br />
turn me inside out; but, when we kiss,<br />
I burn raw... deep down inside Your<br />
dessert is HOT and READY for <strong>you</strong>. I<br />
crave that next kiss; the one that always<br />
leads to more. My heart beats like<br />
nothing <strong>you</strong> can imagine—it is simply<br />
astonishing. want to play tonight?<br />
Angela<br />
It hurts no one to make<br />
things up during a sexting<br />
sesh, and chances <strong>are</strong><br />
they’re returning the favor<br />
anyway.<br />
Technology allows <strong>you</strong> to<br />
turn “Just woke up in the<br />
bus depo :-(” to “Ooh I<br />
just got out of a hot bath...”<br />
in seconds.<br />
Abuse this power.<br />
<strong>you</strong> think about<br />
me when <strong>you</strong><br />
were in the<br />
bath tub today?<br />
course
5 keep <strong>you</strong>r<br />
privates private
My darling,<br />
You <strong>are</strong> in my mind <strong>now</strong> and I want<br />
to write it down. When I look at <strong>you</strong>r<br />
picture, I feel my heart beat faster and<br />
I cannot describe the happiness that<br />
invades me. Let’s get dirty tonight.<br />
When I feel <strong>you</strong>r gaze upon my eyes and<br />
<strong>you</strong>r hand holding mine, a wonderful<br />
feeling wraps me up lets wash each other<br />
off in the shower latr. Your love has turned<br />
my life around. I k<strong>now</strong> tomorrow will<br />
be better than today because of <strong>you</strong>.<br />
Nicole<br />
It used to be a real<br />
concern that <strong>you</strong>r ex could<br />
throw <strong>you</strong>r nudie pics up<br />
on the internet as soon as<br />
they found out <strong>you</strong> were<br />
banging their best friend/<br />
sibling. Even storing sext<br />
pics on <strong>you</strong>r phone was<br />
dangerous.<br />
pic. pic<br />
PIC.
Jordan,<br />
Thoughts of <strong>you</strong> race through my<br />
mind and burning images of <strong>you</strong> stay<br />
within focus of my memory me. Your<br />
body and <strong>you</strong>r the exquisite perfection<br />
of <strong>you</strong>r alluring face stays with me<br />
as if I am always dreaming Why am<br />
I horny and <strong>you</strong> <strong>are</strong> sofar away?. I<br />
can’t stop thinking about <strong>you</strong> and<br />
the passion we create when we <strong>are</strong><br />
together. having <strong>you</strong> inside of me.<br />
Jackson<br />
But <strong>now</strong> those days <strong>are</strong><br />
behind us. Snapchat,<br />
which describes itself<br />
as a “new way to sh<strong>are</strong><br />
moments with friends,”<br />
allows <strong>you</strong> to send a<br />
photo or ten-second<br />
video to a single user or<br />
friend group, but it can’t<br />
be screengrabbed and it<br />
disappears after they’ve<br />
looked at it.<br />
i dont need<br />
to watch porn<br />
anymor. One<br />
look at yur sexy<br />
body keeps me<br />
going.
6 come<br />
vs.<br />
cum
Joe<br />
For I long to write <strong>you</strong> a love letter<br />
tonight. I fantasize about our hot and<br />
sweaty sex that would last for hours.<br />
You <strong>are</strong> all about me—I seem to<br />
breathe <strong>you</strong>—hear <strong>you</strong>—feel <strong>you</strong><br />
in me and of me… Never have I met<br />
a man that could filfill me like <strong>you</strong>.<br />
When <strong>you</strong> came to tea this afternoon <strong>you</strong><br />
took a brioche broke it in half & padded<br />
the inside doughy bit with two fingers.<br />
You always do that with a bun or roll or<br />
a piece of bread—It is <strong>you</strong>r way—<strong>you</strong>r<br />
head a little on one side the while … I<br />
fantisize about those wonderful days.<br />
Katherine<br />
As with sex, so with<br />
sexts. The general tone<br />
of <strong>what</strong> <strong>you</strong>’re up to will<br />
be set by whether <strong>you</strong>’re<br />
using “come” or “cum”<br />
to talk fluids. “Come”<br />
is for gentlemen and<br />
ladies, long-term couples,<br />
and people who would<br />
describe themselves as<br />
“skilled at erotic massage.”<br />
ill follow <strong>you</strong><br />
everywhere, as<br />
long as <strong>you</strong> will<br />
let me COME w<br />
<strong>you</strong>.
Penny<br />
Darling—I love these velvet nights. I’ve<br />
never been able to decide … whether<br />
I love <strong>you</strong> most in the eternal classic<br />
half-lights where it blends with day or in<br />
the full religious fan-f<strong>are</strong> of mid-night<br />
or perhaps in the lux of noon. I will pick<br />
<strong>you</strong> up by 8o’clock tonight. wear a skirt<br />
or a dress; my hands <strong>are</strong> a bitt restless<br />
today. Anyway, I love <strong>you</strong> most and <strong>you</strong><br />
’phoned me just because <strong>you</strong> phoned me<br />
tonight. I walked on those telephone<br />
wires for two hours after holding <strong>you</strong>r<br />
love like a parasol to balance me.<br />
“Cum” is for horny teens,<br />
pervs, <strong>you</strong>r gross ex who<br />
has a new partner <strong>now</strong>,<br />
and pretty much anyone<br />
who’s going to be any fun<br />
to sext.<br />
I got a job<br />
opportunity for<br />
<strong>you</strong>. Interested?<br />
Scott
7 chill the<br />
fuck out
My darling,<br />
We two, <strong>you</strong> k<strong>now</strong>, have everything<br />
before us, and we shall do very great<br />
things—I have perfect faith in us—and<br />
so perfect is my love for <strong>you</strong> that I<br />
am, as it were, still, silent to my very<br />
soul “Faster, harder,” <strong>you</strong> say, and <strong>you</strong>r<br />
wish is my command. I can guaranttee<br />
<strong>you</strong>, we’ll need a good 4-5 days in the<br />
middle of <strong>now</strong>here to fulfill my need of<br />
<strong>you</strong> inside me again. I want nobody but<br />
<strong>you</strong> for my lover and my friend and to<br />
nobody but <strong>you</strong> shall I be faithful.<br />
I am <strong>you</strong>rs forever.<br />
Tig.<br />
I’ve had sext sessions<br />
that have ne<strong>are</strong>d Real<br />
Physical Interaction<br />
levels of arousing, but<br />
if I was forced to read<br />
the messages I sent or<br />
received during these<br />
times an hour afterward, I<br />
would immediately fashion<br />
myself a suicide machine<br />
from <strong>what</strong>ever was nearby.<br />
I sometimes<br />
feel like<br />
playing with<br />
<strong>you</strong>r beautiful<br />
hair… and other<br />
things too.
I already love in <strong>you</strong> <strong>you</strong>r beauty body.<br />
That’s only the beginning. Your heat,<br />
<strong>you</strong>r soul. <strong>you</strong> always k<strong>now</strong> how to push<br />
those <strong>right</strong> buttons. Your heat, <strong>you</strong>r soul.<br />
A Beauty body one could get to k<strong>now</strong><br />
and fall in love with fantasize for hours<br />
about; but the soul one must learn to<br />
k<strong>now</strong>. Believe bleive me, nothing on<br />
earth is given without labour, even<br />
love, I was thinking about <strong>you</strong> in the<br />
shower today, the most beautiful and<br />
natural sexy of feelings things.<br />
Yours,<br />
Leo<br />
Delete as <strong>you</strong> go, people,<br />
but remember, we all<br />
get pretty embarrassing<br />
when we sext, so don’t<br />
worry about it. If someone<br />
exposes just how filthy<br />
the inside of <strong>you</strong>r brain<br />
is to <strong>you</strong>r peers, simply<br />
own that shit. Chances<br />
<strong>are</strong>, people will think<br />
<strong>you</strong>r shamelessness is<br />
arousing, and <strong>you</strong>’ll be on<br />
the receiving end of yet<br />
more sexts.<br />
I will let <strong>you</strong><br />
see mine if<br />
I get to see<br />
<strong>you</strong>rs.
M,<br />
Yet is good for me to k<strong>now</strong> the<br />
measure of my love and need, that I<br />
may at least be brought to so govern<br />
myself as never to lose the love and<br />
trust that <strong>you</strong> have given me. I am<br />
dripping with love and desire for <strong>you</strong>.<br />
B<br />
Everyone wins.<br />
I just want to<br />
let <strong>you</strong> k<strong>now</strong>, I<br />
am a rider.
