In honour of the relatively recent inclusion of the word \u201csexting\u201d to the Oxford English Dictionary, we decided to talk about texting about sex. And Glee.<\/em><\/p>\n Clorisa:<\/strong> So, \u201csexting\u201d is now an official word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Which is interesting. It\u2019s probably one of the newer words added in there.<\/p>\n Dylan:<\/strong> They said the first cited inclusion of it was in 2005? In some newspaper or magazine article or something. So it\u2019s been around since before 2005, but it\u2019s been legitimate since then.<\/p>\n C:<\/strong> I first heard about it from Glee.<\/em> That\u2019s a great place to learn any sort of sexual education. That\u2019s a reliable source. I love Glee.<\/em> Encouraging high-schoolers to do sex. That\u2019s the best show ever. But I guess there are worse things high-schoolers could be doing. Sexting is pretty tame. <\/strong>It\u2019s like the same as phone sex.<\/p>\n D: <\/strong>Since I became an avid texter, sexting became, although not substantial, a part of every relationship I\u2019ve had since then.<\/p>\n C:<\/strong> It\u2019s a convenient way of communicating your feelings to someone without actually speaking to them. Yes.<\/p>\n D:<\/strong> It\u2019s pretty funny. Don\u2019t ever sext with someone while having text conversations with someone else.<\/p>\n C:<\/strong> To one of my friends, I think I could get away with it. But like, I text with my parents, and that\u2019s where it would cross the line with me.<\/p>\n D: <\/strong>I find sexting a lot easier to do than phone sex. I thought phone sex was awkward.<\/p>\n C:<\/strong> I\u2019ve never had phone sex because I\u2019ve never felt it was necessary.<\/p>\n D: <\/strong>I think sexting just replaced it outright.<\/p>\n C: <\/strong>I\u2019d rather text someone these days than call them. Texting is so convenient. \u201cI\u2019m gonna do some things to you when I get home tonight\u201d: that\u2019s a convenient text! It puts everyone in a happy mood. Something to look forward to.
