How to Become a Sexting Pro

Why do people like sexting?

Even if you’re not a fan of dirty talk in the bedroom, sexting is an awesome tool for setting the mood and making your intentions known.

Whether it’s with your partner of years or just someone really hot who you’re casually talking to, the urge to get them as turned on as you are is an exciting thought. And sending a sexy text can be the perfect way to do this.

Make them feel confident with a compliment about their body or get their heart racing with memories of past sexual experiences - the choice is yours!

It’s also less intimidating than sending a saucy pic or a hot and heavy phone call.

Sexting dos and don’ts

So, you’ve got some good sexting examples and ideas you can’t wait to try out, but how should you go about actually sending them? And what else should you keep in mind when experimenting with sexting?

Do: Reply

If your partner is taking the time to pen some of their best work, make them feel great by replying (if you’re into it). Telling your partner that you’re into what they’re saying can be a huge confidence boost which will make them want to sext more.

And, if you contribute, you can keep the conversation going or steer things towards what you want to talk about...

Don’t: Feel pressured

If sexting conversations aren’t for you, don’t worry. Sexting is supposed to be an enjoyable consensual activity for both parties and should never be done as an obligation. Don’t feel pressured to join in just because your partner likes it, but do ensure you communicate your boundaries to them so they aren’t left guessing.

Do: Compliment your partner

A compliment can go a long way in making your partner feel amazing. So, let them know how much you love their body or how great it feels when they do something to you in the bedroom.

Don’t: Do all the talking

Like in any conversation, make sure you’re not doing ALL the work. Give your partner room to share their sexting ideas and intimate thoughts. If they're a little shy about sexting, it can help to prompt them with questions that allow them to express themselves.

Do: Suggest fantasies

When wanting to try something new in the bedroom, it can be hard to bring it up and actually ask when you are unsure how your partner will react. Sexting is a good way of testing the boundaries and seeing how receptive your partner is to a new idea.

If they appear to be into it, keep going further but if they try steering the action away, then take the hint and don’t get too upset.

Don’t: Share anything around

Much like you would expect of the person receiving your messages, have the courtesy of keeping their messages private and known to only yourself. They are trusting you as much as you are trusting them, and sexual habits are a private and sensitive matter that many people don’t want being publically shared. Be courteous and respect their privacy.

Do: Be honest

Our final tip for having fulfilling sexting conversations is to keep things truthful. If you’re not into something, don’t pretend to be just for the sake of pleasing your partner.
