Sending hot Tweets: the key is making sure your messages stay direct. On the other hand, if the right someone had replied, I could have sent them a DM (chastising them for being so public about it) and been nice and warm by midnight. He should have sent me a direct message, so I could have gently thanked him and passed on the offer. For instance, one evening I randomly complained about my cold bed, and a friend I didn't even know was attracted to me replied about keeping me warm - which surprised me, but also sent something unintentionally personal out to all his followers and the world at large because he used the in his reply. It's easy to make a mistake, but can be embarrassing. The important thing to remember is that there is a big difference between communicating with the symbol, and sending a direct message. Let's say things are going well, you're "following" each other and have occasional back-and-forth mini conversations (using the symbol on a particular topic, or in response to a question, you are showing public mutual attraction.) You can tell if things start to get personal if they're including their feelings in direct communication with you. Tune into their interests and pay attention to what they're Twittering about: it's the Twitter version of being a "good listener." Which is the best way to flirt, period. Try saying something short and sweet, in a good or humorous mood, once or twice a week. Flynt, like saying your so hot baby I just wanna lick ur bailout." This may get you blocked, which looks bad on your record and makes you a Twitter flirt EPIC FAIL. When you can't send your object of desire a direct message (or DM), you can get their attention by making a post with the symbol in front of their user name, such as good way to get yourself noticed is to simply say something like "I just adore you." A bad way to get noticed is to directly sexually proposition Mr.
First, don't friend someone hot and expect them to friend you back everyone has different reasons for having friend lists. They're pretty much the same as in person, or in other online instances, but you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how an approach can begin in complete FAIL. Before you're pulling out the condoms and the iPhone, you'll need to get your flirting ethics in line. But the question still remains: do you Tweet during sex? Obviously, you don't have to swing a dead PR flack (or an efficient social networking service) very far to hit a sex personality.
You can also check out the everyday goings-on with sex educators and sex culture pundits, like The Midwest Teen Sex Show, (here's my interview with the co-creators) Nikol Hasler, Sex:Tech, Women's Health (.gov), Ducky Doolittle, Femina Potens, Sex 2.0, myself, Deb Levine,, Susie Bright, Tristan Taormino or Audacia Ray. Or, you could watch adult businesses try to decide if they're "connecting" with consumers with PR ploys, or actually writing interesting behind the scenes commentary: both kinds include Playboy, Penthouse, Behind Kink, Gamelink, Good Vibes, Babeland, Stockroom, Wicked Pictures, LoveHoney UK, Adam & Eve, Lelo, AltPornNet, or local sex toy sophisticates JimmyJane. So if you wanted to join Twitter, you could follow the "day to day" of porn personalities such as Larry Flynt, Jesse Jane, Eon McKai, Nikki Benz, Jenna Jameson (well, actually it's an obvious PR account), Belladonna, Sasha Grey, KumiMonster, Dana DeArmond, Andy SanDimas, (NSFW) Bella Vendetta, Sinnamon Love, Emily Marilyn, Stoya, or Tony Comstock. The normal people tend to be the dirtier ones, by the way - they're just harder to find. Not to mention all those other "normal" people who use the service, too. Sex and the Tweet isn't a new idea, and it's on the rise - perhaps even moreso as sex workers, international fetish models, dominatrixes, tech savvy porn stars, adult companies with marketing departments, hip porn directors, sex toy makers, and yes, even sex educators have created accounts and sporadically tell the world what's on their mind (or other bits) in 140 characters or less.
