Sexting, or talking dirty via text message (SMS) is a hot trend these days. Daytime talk shows, such as Tyra, broke this latest fad not too long ago as something that mostly teenagers did. Sexting was suddenly "outed" and quickly became a juicy addition of our tech-friendly culture along with "friending", "tweets" and "exposed celeb pics". Preventative measures to save your marriage from problems of any kind - even a sexual affair - include keeping sexual passion and intensity in your love life before your even gets an opportunity to husband think of stepping out. So trust us, if you're wondering to yourself, "Will talking dirty help me save my marriage from becoming sexless, boring or even at risk for a sexual affair?", the answer is "Hell yeah it can!"

Now, chances are you've already been sexting before it had a name. Sexy, flirtatious texts sent to your husband were the perfect reminder of what he had waiting for him at home. Maybe things became more heated late at night if you were apart, such as during a long-distance relationship, or if he was deployed while in the military. And, of course, a few short, well-worded sexts could easily keep him up all night - in every way possible - if you were really good.

Either way, sexy dirty text messaging has probably been going on for as long as there has been text messaging. Learning how to flirt with a guy over text is the perfect way to drive your husband wild with passion for you.

Like any form of flirting though, less is more. Sexy wives who possess the knack to leave a little to their husbands' imaginations will always enjoy better reactions from them than those who just start talking downright dirty right away. Subtle hints that lead him on with spicy little tidbits mixed in when he's least expecting it will get a man right where you want him.

Juicy sexts at the right moment can seduce a man as well as a pushup bra or showing a little leg can. As in all forms of seduction and flirtation, it's all about teasing, building up emotional tension... and then shocking him, making him bite down on that hook and becoming yours.

Proper setup, buildup of tension and follow through will pretty much guarantee your husband isn't going to be thinking of anything or anyone else more than you for quite some time. Now of course, each technique and series of messages has to match the intensity of your relationship and your desired effect.

Don't worry about sounding like a porn star. Start out slow and sweet with a little flirting. Yes, we said flirt! Text your sexy husband an equally sexy message expressing how much you love and want to be with him. Keep your message short and sweet - "You made me feel so sexy last night" - and let his imagination run wild. Send him another message later on telling him something a little more explicit and flirtatious, "I love the way your lips taste."

When he responds, asking for more, either by text or email, don't hesitate to respond a little steamier than you last did. Remember, you want to gradually increase your raciness as a way to build emotional tension. You want him to start thinking about the last time the two of you made love, because the more he thinks about it, the more he's going to want an encore. So move slowly and deliberately, teasing him until he's crawling over to you and begging to devour you like his last meal before the electric chair. Now let's hope he has an appetite to match that dirty mouth of his!
