If your grandpa's a member of the AARP, you'd better hope he doesn't have your cell number -- or you might accidentally receive a text message from him that reads, "Forget chocolate. I am craving the taste of you." I am not creepy and did not just make that up -- it's honestly a direct quote from an article on AARP's Web site about how to incorporate sexting into your love life if you're old. Great googly moogly, why WHY WHY?!
First of all, "sexting" in and of itself should be done only by nobody ever -- it's not a great idea to spend 10 cents sending somebody a picture of your boob that will live on the Internet for the rest of time. This doubles for grandmas, who already have two generations of living descendants cruising the Web looking for trouble.
The organization would also like to remind all the people out there who just couldn't resist sexting to delete messages from their filthy, filthy inbox periodically so that little grandson Joey doesn't grab the phone and get the shock of his life one day.
Uh, thanks, AARP? Please go back to making sure our grandparents get their Denny's breakfasts at a discount, and leave the sexting to the tweens.

Excuse me? If there's anybody that sexting is okay for, it's older people in committed relationships who won't feel embarrassed a week later to find out that he's "just not that into you" and is laughing about it with his friends.
People who think sex between older people is funny and/or gross are in for a shock when they find themselves older and dealing with their urges. Do you really, truly think you'll wake up someday and not be interested in sex?

I agree that having something sexual (picture or text) that could be documented through your phone company and stored on some digital server somewhere, is not a good idea (not for anyone). I think that AARP is trying to encourage seniors to keep using their fantasy life to enhance their relationship. Perhaps the old-love note-in-the-pocket is a better idea. But there are many seniors out there having a very full and satisfying sex life. This is neither gross or creepy - grow up.

While there's nothing wrong with older people having sexy convo's, over the phone with text is just a bad idea. Not an age think really, since lets be adults here and grow up, but sexting is dumb for anyone! It is saved by the phone company.... and people other than you and your hubby/bf go through you're phone sometimes.
