Sexting is the sexual discovery of the digital age. If you and your partner aren’t doing a bit of naughty texting, you are missing out. Keeping this kind of connection between you and your partner is fantastic for your relationship wellness as well as your emotional wellbeing, and can improve your sex life in just a few minutes every day.
Sexting is defined as sending a sexually explicit text message from your phone, and it can come in the form of a textual description or an image. A study looked at the sexting habits of a group of 3,447 women and men aged between 18 and 24 and found that it was not only practised by this age group, but also very common. Around 28.2 percent of the men and women in the group both sent and received sexual texts.
Whilst the practice can be associated with horror stories such as leaked nude photos and extramarital affairs, it is mostly just enjoyed as part of a healthy, loving relationship. There are some tricks to sexting however, and things that you should bear in mind.
Sexting should be a digital way to have a little prelude to sex. Don’t reveal everything in the text message, as otherwise there is nothing left to look forward to. Before you are due to spend time together, send a simple text saying something like you are looking forward to touching him, which will get him turned on before you even meet up. You can also send him a slightly flirty photo.
The sexiest thing about sexting is that you can make your partner wait, and boost the anticipation. Take a bit longer to reply to messages than he does, making him hold on for the next one. Don’t tell him what you are wearing as soon as he asks – give him time to fantasise about what it might be, and tease him a little.
