Some guys end up getting the wrong impression about what is really possible when texting a woman. They read some silly column about how you can make any woman want you by sending her just the right text and then they think that this is going to be the best approach to attracting a woman they like. While it certainly can help you win her over, if you think that sending just the right text message is the one piece of the puzzle that you are missing, you are probably going to get it all wrong.

Here's another good option. I once had a manager who ended nearly every email with: "Let me know if this is not what you are looking for." Pretty clear who's doing what!

A) Research for ideas. - You are already researching for ideas, that is good. As you read blogs, opinions and ideas of other girls, you will get a better idea of what talking dirty really is. Most girls would dismiss the idea of dirty talk as something for sluts and porn stars but isn't that just what a man wants in bed?

BRUSH AND MUSH. Women like it when they hear sweet words from their partners yet sometimes these little sweet nothings are being overlooked by us men especially when we are already regarded as a couple. This time, don't discard this new knowledge. Try whispering sweet nothings in her ear while gently biting her ear lobe. Build sexual tension by a simple yet intentional brushing of your skin with hers. Play as innocently as you can. You might doubt this step and might feel somewhat awkward, but I assure you that a little effort wouldn't hurt and most of the time it works.

Just like everything else, sexual confidence is something you have to build - even before you hop into bed. This can include sexts, flirting and wordplay before foreplay. The good thing about this is that it sets the pace and the mood for what is to come.

For starters, you should never get desperate and start sexting your ex. On that note, you shouldn't try and seduce him by sending him naked pictures of yourself through text, either. Not only will this lead to embarrassing and downright traumatizing situations, but they could get passed around and fall into the hands of people you do not trust.

"Infidelity is definitely on the rise because of technology," said Houston. "Women especially crave emotional intimacy. E-mail or chatting can start off innocently, but if there are actual connections, relationships develop quickly." That man or woman you met at a business function or trade show could soon become an emotional affair and most experts agree that emotional affairs are more difficult to forgive than even sexual affairs.

We have all heard the horrible stories about Internet predators and we all know how insidious they can be. It is so easy to appear to be something that you are not on the Internet that it can cause a real danger to everybody but especially children and young people.

Don't be ignorant about social networking sites and/or sites about things like phone sex and other adult materials. Your kids may not think it is cool for a parent to hang around myspace, Facebook and twitter but it doesn't hurt anyone for you to know what is going on at those sites. Also, the reason why cyberbullying can become so pervasive is because people spend so much time online. Teach your children and yourself as well, how to disconnect. Go do something else, find a life away from the Internet. It will still be there when you get back.

If you really want to put an end to sexting in your home then you would have to take away your child's cell phone. This may not be practical, therefore your other option will be to monitor their text and bbm communications and then act accordingly. This is more a reactive approach however it may be your only option if you are not willing to take possession of the teen's cell phone. Using a text message or bbm spy also have the advantage that you will be able to do other things such as track the child's whereabouts etc. Therefore you will not only be protecting them against sexting but other ills of society as well. This is as much as we parent can do without being too intrusive in our offspring's lives.
