How to avoid sending dirty texts to wrong person?

I use Android Jelly Bean. Is there a texting app that warns me if I'm sending a dirty text to the wrong person?

My GF and I send each other stuff all the time and I feel like I have to eyeball the name of the recipient a good while before I feel comfortable to hit send. Even after I hit send, I find myself double checking just to make sure I sent the message to the right person. I've sent some "hi honey" and "I love you" to the wrong people in the past.

Maybe an app that detects a dirty word and then pops up warning if it's not sent to the correct person?

You don't have your GF's number as a Contact, so when a text comes, her name appears? It's not really that hard to see who's texting you, especially if you're replying to a text.

He got sent to school because he isn't very good at reading.

Change their name to:

##GIRLFRIEND###

or something, so it's painfully obvious.

If you're already looking at the name and you're still this paranoid, an app isn't going to help. You'll be constantly checking to see if the app is working right.

Make the name of the girl obvious. Like with stars and stuff (*****girlfriend's name*****)

Why do you need an app to make sure you are sending a text to the appropriate person? Are you not capable of reading? Reading is fundamental

Why not just attach the GF picture to the contact list.

I suppose you could not send dirty text messages if you're too stupid to figure it out, but hey, that would take some modicum of intelligence/maturity, and we're clearly past that suggestion.

Get a separate phone to use with your GF. Have her as the only contact on that phone and remove her from the contact list on your primary phone.

It's the only solution that will give you the peace of mind you seek.

What if he mixes up the phones?

these methods are failsafe:

1. do not send
2. type up sext but do not send. instead, walk over to gf and show her the message.
3. type up sext in text editor. print it out. hand it to gf.
