Sexting is an art form, but the good news is that it’s simple to master and adapt to your personal preferences. Here’s everything you need to know about sexting, including dozens of examples to try with your partner and general sexting rules to remember for a great sexting experience that leaves both you and your partner feeling good after being bad.
What exactly is sexting?
Sexting is defined as two people texting each other about their erotic fantasies in a consensual manner. It can be as easy as recalling a memory quickly, for example, (“last night was so hot, I loved the way you pushed me up against the wall”). In this article, we are going to give you the tip and rules on how to sext better.
They include:
1. Consent reigns supreme.
You already know this if you’ve ever received an unsolicited photo of someone’s genitals. According to Dr. Allison, “sexting can make us feel insecure, violated, and even threatened.” “That’s why, Even if you’ve already had physical sex, acquiring not only your partner’s approval, but their enthusiastic approval is a vital element of sexting.”
2. Don’t drink (abundantly) and text.
“You’re less likely to make the greatest decisions when you’re not sober, as with most decisions,” Dr. Allison explains. “When we’re intoxicated, we frequently regret our judgments, especially those that go against our better judgment. If you’re in a dangerous scenario, put your phone away or temporarily block a number.” So, no drinking and texting, let alone sexting your ex is a bad idea.
3. Change your text-messaging settings
“Most phones also have a setting that allows you to turn off ‘preview messages,’ so when a text comes in, it will only show the sender’s name and not the text or graphics,” Dr. Allison explains. “If you’re frequently with others and want to be safe, this is ideal.”
