Addicted to Sexting Page #2

uh, which is probably

a good thing.

There are ways that something

like sexting could be healthy.

You know, phone sex

has been going on a long time.

Think about long-distance relationships

where couples might call each other

and have a sexy conversation.

It could be arousing.

It can be bonding.

So sexting can be

the same thing.

It's just a different

form of medium.

It's a different medium.

It's a different way to communicate.

I'm a big fan of using sexting

as a tool.

It's a new and most modern form of

flirtation if it's used correctly.

Basically, I think the best way to send

a sex message is to be blunt about it.

The most bluntest thing

that you can say,

you say to see the reaction.

I'm trying to.

Dot, dot, dot.

First of all,

we'd like to talk about

St. Louis region

of the first quarter sales.

Last quarter,

the sales were up...

First, we started with

the answering machines,

which was kind of good because if you

really didn't wanna see somebody again,

you didn't have to

call 'em back.

Then there was caller ID,

and that was especially good.

And you really didn't have to

talk to them if you wanted to.

We didn't have technology,

but we had more personal interaction.

Let me give you the history

before...

You think sexting,

nobody did this before in the old days?

I'll tell you.

First of all, with the pictures.

This is what you did.

When you were a kid,

there was no digital film.

You couldn't just like, you know,

take a picture of yourself,

put it on the computer,

something like that.

It went on a film which means you

had to bring it to the photo matte.

You bring it to

the neighborhood drug store

and you give it to the lady

behind the drug store

where you buy all the cold medicine from,

and all that other stuff.

And you give it to them,

and you just hope that they don't look

at it before they give it to you.

And when you go to pick up your pictures,

you are worried.

And the women at the back,

they go...

And you know that they

just saw your dick.

To fully understand

the evolution of sexting,

we have to go all the way back

to the beginning.

30,000 BC.

The earliest known example of transmitted

sexual imagery date back to cave paintings

created in paleolithic times.

1150 AD. The preferred method

was the carrier pigeon.

It's not a stretch to imagine two

young lovers exchanging naughty words

by means of

an unsuspecting fowl.

Although, the months long wait

for a response,

might have doused the

flames of love just a bit.

1909 AD.

A clear proponent

of the long-form sext,

James Joyce was quite well-known for his

saucy correspondence with his spouse, Nora,

in which he employed similar prose

found in more modern sext messages.

"Nora, my love for you

allows me to pray

"to the spirit of eternal beauty and

tenderness mirrored in your eyes.

"Want to fling you down under

me in that soft belly of yours,

"and f*** you up behind

like a hog riding a sow."

1948 AD.

With the advent of instant film

and the Polaroid camera,

the sexter's cause

was greatly advanced

not only by the amount

of time saved,

but also by the lack of smirks

from photo lab workers.

1970 AD.

A certain numerical sequence

enjoyed prolific use

with the invention

of the pocket calculator

beginning in 1970,

and was popular with adolescents

and less than mature

mathematicians.

The cleverly crafted sext,

8-0-0-8-5, AKA, B*OBS.

1990 AD.

Although the technology

has existed since the late '50s,

it wasn't until the '80s and

'90s that pagers became more widely used.

And not just for emergencies,

lustful companions often used them to trade

sexts of the alpha-numeric persuasion.

1992 AD.

22-year-old engineer,

Neil Papworth,

is noteworthy for having sent the

very first text message in history.

Using his computer to transmit the

message to a colleague's phone,

he typed "Merry Christmas."

It's rumored the very next

message was "naughty or nice?"

But this is unconfirmed.

2000 to 2002 AD.

Even though MMS wouldn't be

invented for another two years,

consumer electronics

manufacturer Sharp

released the first cellphone with a camera,

the J-HSO4 in 2000.

2004 AD.

An article aptly named "Textual

Gratification" appearing in "Globe and Mail"

is believed to contain the first ever

documented use of the term "sext."

As well, the term was officially

added to the Oxford dictionary.

In September 2011,

two Stanford University students

launched the popular app, Snapchat,

which allows any picture to be

sent to and viewed by friends,

but only for a pre-determined length

of time before being deleted.

The mobile phone app, Snapchat, is proving to

be massively popular amongst young people.

The Electronic Privacy

Information Center claims

Snapchat deceives users

promising to delete photos

but, really,

leaving them available.

At this point in time, Snapchat has

attracted an estimated 82 million users,

with the majority of them

between the ages of 13 and 25.

It's the beauty of what you call,

you know, disposable media.

That's what these

instant apps are.

Snapchat, you know, Secret,

everything like that.

There's protection in anonymity.

Snapchat's probably not for me.

So I don't think

I need to do that.

I'm already Instagramming,

sexting, texting, e-mailing,

sometimes Facebooking,

old school.

I don't use Snapchat.

Let the kids have it. It's all for them.

I receive a lot of sexts

through Snapchat.

Like what?

Uh, you know, dick shots.

Kind of stuff like that.

That would be typical

frustration, wouldn't it?

You finally get the picture

from the one girl,

and it's the perfect picture.

You're like, "This is awesome!"

Then it's gone.

That's the story of my life.

I was married for 11 years.

I know all about that sh*t.

When you send a Snapchat,

you can only open it once

for as many seconds.

Like, I can take a picture and choose

how long people can view it for.

Like, I can do it for one second

or like ten seconds,

and then they can never ever

see it again.

First, Mike, have you ever

sexted on Snapchat?

I'm afraid I can't

answer that question.

Snapchat.

What do I think about Snapchat?

Now that's the thing

where your dick erases.

Ain't that the thing, like,

where you put your dick on

and then it just vanishes?

Hey, you can't do the time,

don't do the crime.

That's the way I feel about it.

You know? Look, it's awfully convenient

for you to just, you know, be...

There are consequences

to everything.

You know, just think if Anthony Weiner

had used Snapchat instead of Twitter,

we might be calling him

Mayor Weiner.

- Might have. Might have.

- That's it?

I don't do it too much through text

messages, like actual pictures,

because then they

have it there forever.

They can show

whoever the hell they want.

Snapchat is my best friend,

you know?

Ten seconds or lower, you know.

I kinda give them a glimpse,

three seconds.

And they be like,

"Oh, send me more."
