Sexting can introduce a lot of fun into an otherwise mundane afternoon, but it can also introduce all of the other elements of a mundane afternoon into your sex life. Like, coworkers sitting right next to you, or typos. We all know how fragile and temperamental smartphones can be, and when we use them to do something as focused as sexting, they can really mess things up. Hopefully your partner (or casual sext hookup) has a sense of humor, because when sexting goes wrong, it can go really wrong. Like, accidentally traumatize somebody kind of wrong. It’s always best to do it in a private place, where you have plenty of service bars. Here are hilarious ways you can mess up sexting.

Role play gone wrong

When your boo sends you a sext saying he wants to play your college Shakespeare professor and you play the naughty school girl, and you text back saying you never took Shakespeare in college and all of your professors were women.

Do not leave your phone unattended in the middle of sexting. You never know who might look at your screen. Like, your boss. Or, your child.

Or lending it to someone at the wrong time

Be totally certain that the sexting is over before letting your best friend borrow your phone. She doesn’t need to read about how sticky your face is when she’s just trying to Google Maps Chipotle.

Interrupting it for logistics

“Oooh yeah. More of that. Oh you know what? The UPS guy is here. Do you want me to send that package out with him for you? The one for your mom?”

Sexting with the wrong person

You’re halfway through, you start mentioning pulling his locs and his chocolate skin, and he says: “Wait. Who do you think this is? I’m light-skinned with a fade.”

Sounding too aggressive

There’s a fine line between sexting rough, and telling someone you want to choke them until you see the whites of their eyes. That could sound like a threat.

Not understanding what “bad” means

“Have you been a bad girl?” “Yes. I received one of my neighbor’s Amazon deliveries by accident and I haven’t given it to them yet.” “Oh. Okay…”

Being too honest

When a man asks you to describe your va-jay-jay through sex, and you tell him there are a few stray hairs you didn’t get to because you’re bad at shaving down there.

Mixing up pet names

It might be fun to call your partner “Boss” or “Daddy” in bed, but don’t change his name to that in your phone for sexting purposes. You might end up texting your real boss or daddy.

Responding to a group thread

You know how sometimes, in a smartphone, when you begin typing a text to one person, the phone suggests adding other contacts who you’ve included in group threads before? And you know how sometimes, you add those contacts on accident…

Finishing in a real way

Hey um, if you’re a man, you should take advantage of the fact that in sexting, just because you finish doesn’t have to mean it’s over. So, don’t just tell your sext partner that you already came, leaving her high and dry. Your fingers can still type!

Being honest about what you’re wearing

If your boo sexts you and asks what you’re wearing, he doesn’t have to know that you’re wearing drawstring pants, an apron, and a hoodie. You can lie this time.

Mentioning the time of the month

“Wanna sext?” “I’m on my period…” Yeah that doesn’t really matter here.

Being picky

Your sext partner tells you he’s doing you doggy style and you tell him, “That position doesn’t really work for me.” It doesn’t matter–it’s not real!

Being clean

Your sext partner tells you he wants to have sex all over the kitchen counters, but you remind him that you just cleaned them. Again…it’s not real.

Bringing up food allergies

If your boo texts you a dirty description of covering you in whipped cream and licking it off, you don’t need to remind him that you’re lactose intolerant.

Failing to mind the background

If you send your sexting partner a photo of you naked, standing in front of a bunch of his family photos…he’ll experience very mixed feelings.

The wrong memory

“Do the things you did to me that one time we were on that train in Belgium.” “I was never on a train in Belgium with you…”

Using the fatigue excuse

When your boo starts explaining, via sext, all of the things he wants to do to you and you tell him, “I’m too tired.” To text? Really?
