Sexting Tips for Seniors – What You Need to Know…and More!
Welcome to the fourth and final lesson in the ‘The Prime Your Pump Guide to Cell Phone Communications for Boomers!’ aimed at teaching Baby Boomers the ins and outs of cellphone communications. Today is the lesson I am sure you have all been waiting for…Lesson 4 – Sexting Tips where we will give you invaluable sexting tips and introduce you to the art of sexting, also known as ‘foreplay in the 21st century.’
Before we start today’s lesson, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane to see what we have learned so far.
We started with Lesson 1 – Texting 101 where you learned some texting etiquette and texting abbreviations. Next was Lesson 2 – Emojis where you learned some rules for sending emojis as well as the meanings of the top 10 used emojis, including the poop emoji. Last week was Lesson 3 – Selfies where you learned how to take a selfie, some common poses, and some good tips.
I’m hoping that you have practiced a little self-control and refrained from sending any dick pics or eggplant emojis until reading this post on sexting tips…but I’m not holding my breath.
Finally…Time to Learn About Sexting!
Now it is time to put everything you have learned so far together in Lesson 4 – Sexting. The structure of this 4-part course was not put together haphazardly; oh no. Our crackerjack research team here at Prime Your Pump spent a lot of time strategically putting this together so that each lesson would build on the previous one, ahem… climaxing with the fourth and final lesson on sexting tips. As you will see, sexting necessitates a high degree of mastery of each of the preceding three lessons as it combines texting, emojis, and selfies.
So, if you have missed any of the first three lessons, I implore you to go back and complete them. Don’t worry I’m not going anywhere and will be here waiting for you.
What is Sexting?
Let’s begin with a quick definition of sexting.
Sexting is simply sending or receiving sexually explicit text messages that may include graphic imagery and/or video. For our purposes we are going to assume that you are sexting within a committed relationship, otherwise, it can get a little messy and can have negative ramifications. Exhibit A is Anthony Weiner, if you don’t remember him and his story – here it is.
Has there ever been someone busted for a sexting affair with a better name than Anthony Weiner – I think not.
Why Sexting?
You are probably asking yourself ‘why’ and I will counter with ‘why not?’
According to a study done at Drexel University, 8 out of 10 have admitted to either receiving or sending sexually explicit text messages. The study found that sexting was linked to greater sexual satisfaction for both partners.
There are many other reasons people sext, some of the most common are:
As a direct way to get some sexual attention (at least in a short-term fling)
To spice things up in a committed relationship
Being horny and a long distance from your partner
For men, there are two things always on our mind, food and sex, so if we’ve already eaten…guess what we are probably thinking about…
Some people see it as naughty and forbidden, which makes it that much hotter
It can be exciting and scintillating
As an outlet to fulfill fantasies
Before we get to some Do’s and Don’ts, let’s first review some sexting abbreviations.
Let’s go back to the first lesson when we learned about texting abbreviations such as LOL, JK, SMH etc. When it comes to sexting, nothing kills the mood quicker than having to take the time to type out ‘get naked on camera’ when you can just type ‘GNOC’. Hence, sexting abbreviations, here are some of the most common ones:
Now we don’t want anyone sexting irresponsibly, so here are some
Do’s and Don’ts When It Comes to Sexting:
Now It’s Time to Discuss the Eggplant…
As well as other emojis that are used in sexting.
I have to warn you, things can pretty raunchy pretty quick using emojis in sexting.
Let’s begin with some of the tamer ones.
The eggplant and banana are used as the emoji for the penis:
The cat face and taco are both used to represent the vagina – I will let you figure out the rationale for yourself – meow!
However, the honeypot has made a recent surge to now find itself in the conversation to represent the vagina.
The peach is used to represent the booty.
A tongue represents, well…a tongue
Now that we have given you some basic sexting tips, we are going to take a little quiz to see if you can figure out how some of the emojis above are used in sexting.
But I must warn you, it’s explicit, so if you are easily offended DO NOT click the START QUIZ button below.
Again, DO NOT click the Start Quiz button unless you are ready for some extreme naughtiness!
Lights, Camera, Action
We aren’t going to spend a lot of time discussing how to take selfies in this sexting tips post as we covered selfies last week.
I will, however, give you 2 important sexting tips related to photos in sexting:
DO NOT half-ass it. If you are going to do something, do it the Prime Your Pump way by doing it right dammit! So, make sure the lighting, angle and pose are right, just like you learned in Lesson 3 – Selfies.
Again, I don’t recommend dick pics for a variety of reasons BUT if you are going to send them, please don’t send them unsolicited and at least make sure the recipient is alone when you send them. Ultimately, you are better off not sending them because you don’t want to end up like our friend Mr. Weiner – damn that name cracks me up every time.
Wrapping Up This Sexting Tips Post
Now whether you as a Baby Boomer engage in sexting is really up to you. At least by reading this sexting tips post, you know what is going on around you, which is never a bad thing!
So, even if you don’t use it for yourself, at least you now know what the younger generation is up to!
Before We Go…
A quick interesting tidbit of information I found. According to this article, peak sexting hours are between 10 and noon on Tuesday’s – I guess people are getting ready for ‘hump day’.
So, the next time you are in a meeting or in church on a Tuesday at 10 am and someone glances at their cell phone and smiles, there is a good chance they are sexting.
Come to think of it, statistically speaking, there’s a good chance most of you are too, especially since you have read this sexting tips post and now know what you are doing. Good for you!
I hope you enjoyed this 4-part series on cell phone communications and nothing would make me happier than it helping you bridge that communications gap with the younger people in your life.
Until next time, keep
or maybe you are into…
perhaps this is you…
or perhaps you are into some other freaky stuff. Well, keep doing it as long as it’s legal, and as always…PYMFP!

The story you are about to read is true. The perp is NOT Anthony Weiner.
Thank goodness I don’t have to sext! My wife and I engage in what I term our “personal phone calls” when one of us is away. Of course we have been doing this for over 45 years, back when the only porta-phone was the Star Trek communicator so we spoke on land-lines. However, there did occur an incident which, had my wife not been rather vigilant, would have resulted in an unintentional sex selfie.
About 5 years or so ago, we drove down the coast to visit our friends Kari & Anthony. Near San Luis Obispo there is located a hotel named the Madonna Inn, not far from highway 101. For years the Inn’s main tourist attraction has been the urinal in the men’s room, basically a rock sculpture where the flush cascades down like a waterfall. Now honestly, what red-blooded American male would not want to stop and take a pee in such a unique environment? Unfortunately, the red-blooded American female needs some assistance to view this flushing phenomenon, usually in the form of a door guard so she can sneak a peek without being caught or otherwise embarrassing someone. Whether she sneaks a pee or not becomes a moot point. Some ladies have, most have not.
My wife refused to accompany me for a sneak peek, even after me offering to function as door guard. Instead she gave me her phone, with camera function, and said I needed to take a picture. Now I had never used a phone camera before and inquired as to “how does one take a picture with a phone? She set up the phone, told me to look at the screen like a view finder, then push the button on the bottom on the screen. Sounded real simple, yes? Guess again!
So I’m in the men’s room emptying my bladder. I focus the camera on the urinal, then hold it parallel to my body, push the button, and finish peeing – all is well. Yeah, right! Walked back to the car, gave my wife the phone so she can see the rock sculpture photo, and said “why don’t you send the pic to Kari & Anthony”? She takes the camera from my hand, and immediately begins laughing uncontrollably. Somehow in my attempt to snap the photo I accidentally touched ‘something’ on the phone so that the camera pointed towards me instead of away from me. There in all its glory on the screen sets a slightly out of focus pic of me from the belly to the knees with a certain private part exposed performing one of its essential functions. Needless to say, she immediately deleted the pic, and Kari & Anthony received a text without photo.
So there it is – the first time I attempted to take a photo with a phone I inadvertently created a porno selfie. I seriously doubt anyone else can claim that distinction, nor would they want to. Maybe I should submit this incident to the Guinness Book of World Records, but (fortunately) the evidence no longer exists.
And you wonder why I don’t selfie or sext. Who else but me could screw up both concepts simultaneously.
Dave, that is quite a story!! I actually laughed out loud! Lucky your wife looked at it before sending to Kari and Anthony. Haha…Thanks for the laugh, I will make sure Bri and Howie see this. Have a great rest of the weekend! Rick
