Let’s be real: sexting can feel a little awkward, especially when your mind goes totally blank mid-convo. You’ve already sent the classic “thinking about you…” and now you’re staring at your screen wondering, “What do I even say next?” Good news: sexy texting doesn’t have to be complicated, or cringey.
Whether you’re new to the game or just out of fresh lines, these four go-to tips will help you hit “send” with confidence, and maybe make someone squirm in the best way possible.
1. Tease and Ease into it.
As we’ve previously reported, it’s always important to ease into sexting with something light and flirty to set the mood. You don’t have to dive straight into writing a raunchy message that may get radio silence from the person on the receiving end of the text. Build anticipation gradually. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, Ph.D., a sexual and relational communication professor at California State University, told SELF in an article published Feb. 14, that you can start lightly sexting by giving your partner sweet compliments like, “Your energy is so sexy,” or playfully tease them with phrases such as “Guess what I’m wearing right now?”
Let’s say you’ve kicked things off, but fall into a rut on what to say next? Don’t be afraid to get a little creative. If you’re talking to a person you’ve sexted regularly before, let them know you’ve been thinking about them. You can send them something fun and flirty like, “I just had the hottest dream about you… want to hear it?” letting you know you’re up for some more cheeky texting.
According to sex therapist Dr. Liz Powell, this line is the perfect combo of sultry and smooth. You’re not jumping straight into NSFW territory; you’re offering a tease, a fantasy, an invite. And bonus: you’re also asking for consent, which is not only sexy, but respectful.
“You’ve already started a tease by telling them there’s something super hot coming!” Dr. Powell told Refinery29 on July 3.
