Here’s how you can enhance your sexting game

A flirty text or a string of naughty emojis is always a great way to spice things up. Whether you’ve been with your partner for a decade or two months, sexting is hot as hell and if you master the skill, you may just end up learning all about your partner's fantasies, likes and, most importantly, dislikes. 

However, we understand it might get a little difficult manoeuvring these conversations or even initiating one. How many times can you send the eggplant and thirsty emoji? What more can you do? Scroll down to find out. 

Be a tease 

Start slow and tease your partner with a play on words or an emoji. Where is the fun in jumping straight to the end? Describe what you want to do to them or want done to you. There is no rush, enjoy the build-up. For instance, you could start with something like, “I’ve been thinking about kissing your neck all day and it’s turning me on”. This will also give you a sense of whether your partner is in the mood to sext or not.  

Build up on fantasies 

We all have fantasies and sexting is the perfect opportunity to build on those. Whether you want to be tied up, want to try role play, or want to do it in a plane, make up scenarios. Step out of your comfort zone and explore whatever it is that you fantasise about and what makes you feel sexy. Think of sexting as improv storytelling where you and your partner are narrators. Make it hot and heavy! 

Don’t skip the foreplay 

The beauty of sexting lies in its build-up. In Monica Geller's terms, don’t go straight for the six and seven. Explore all the other numbers before talking about climaxing. Set a scene and tell them what you want them to do and respond to what they want done. Foreplay will make the end even more special. Not to mention, this is an excellent way of understanding what your partner likes and wants in bed.  

Use your memories  

If you are sexting someone you’ve already had experiences with IRL, talk about a memory that you two share and go on from there. Building on a memory makes the conversation steamy, engaging and relatable. You just have to ensure that the scenario you choose is a core memory for both. For instance, you could say, “Remember the time we had shower sex?” and let the naughty conversation unfold from there. 

Get creative 

There are only so many times you can say “vagina”, “penis” or “boobs” before it gets monotonous. Use sexual innuendos and puns. Put your vocabulary to good use and make it nuanced. Use vivid descriptive language to keep the spark of the conversation alive. Just have fun with it.
