Tips for Sexting


While sexting sounds all fun and exciting, it has its own bad side. Exchanging your sexual desires and fantasies is a very intimate affair and hence needs to be processed carefully.  

Just as sexting benefits your relationship, it can completely ruin it too, if done the wrong way. Just as discussed, sexting involves sharing of intimate pictures and videos which if received by a pervert will damage your life permanently.

So just before you enter the sexting zone, be sure to follow these tips. 

#1. Have The Talk 

Before you finally decide on sexting, talk to your partner about the do’s and don’t’s. Discussing the boundaries will allow both of you to play in the uninhibited space. You can also set up expectations about things that you both are okay with, what excites you and what pictures you both enjoy. Using sexting in the proper manner will help you amp up for sex.

#2. Have Safe Sext

We are super concerned about your safety, and therefore we urge you to safely practice sexting. You can use separate phones to avoid being caught or embarrassed in front of your kids or friends. If you want to stay away from the epic meltdown of your children reading your sexts, just be careful. Do not just toss your phone to them for playing games or making calls. If possible, delete all the dirty images that you shared with your partner if you do not want anyone else to know how naughty you are.  

Keeping your sexting separate from other conversations benefits you in having one conversation thread that is used for the regular stuff (like bring a bottle of milk, take the dog out for a walk) and the other one for your beautiful fantasies.  

#3. Be Playful And Open 

It is no surprise that many couples find it difficult to directly express their erotic desires to each other. That’s when sexting helps. Texting your partner implies that you are not with them at the moment and yet you are in contact with them. The indirect connection helps you in opening up and confronting your feelings. A long-term relationship is usually intact because both the partners have accepted the way they are and have been open about their feelings. Same goes for sexting. If you wish to sustain your relationship on healthy grounds, it is important that you keep yourself open yet playful while showing your naughtier side to your partner.

Easier said than done, expressing yourself openly takes a great deal of courage and self-acceptance. Letting your partner dive into your erotic world is a big step in your relationship, and therefore needs careful processing.
