Smart Girls Guide to Being the Queen of Sexting ...

1. Start Slow

If you want to know how not to embarrass yourself when sexting, then you should start slow and not jump straight into sending anything that could be classed as explicit. If your relationship is still in its early stages, then take some time for the partnership to grow and the trust to be built so that you don’t feel super awkward about sending sexy pictures when the time finally does come. Only do it when you feel good about it, not one second before.

2. Be Mysterious

Most of the time, the best examples of sexting are the messages and pictures that get sent that still have an air of mystery and class about them. Play a little game of hard to get with your boyfriend. Don’t just give it all to him in really explicit pictures. A lot of the time the most sexy part of the experience is leaving something to the imagination.

3. Sense of Humor

When you really think about it, sexting is something that is inherently funny - to send a picture of your boobs to your boyfriend while he is at work etc! A lot of the time, the people who have the most successful sexting experiences are the ones that remember to have a sense of humor about the whole situation. There is no point in getting too serious; it will just be awkward when you are face to face later!

4. Less is More

I know we have already talked about it a little, but it really is the case that less is more. Not only does leaving something to the imagination make it really sexy, but by not going fully naked or putting yourself out there too much, you can rest safe in the knowledge that these pictures aren’t going to do you any harm later on should your relationship break down and your ex wants some easy revenge.

5. Set Your Boundaries

Be very clear with yourself and with your partner about how far you are willing to go with the sexting. If the parameters of your comfort zone are established early on, then there won’t be any awkward refusals later down the line, and equally you can always refer back to the conversation if your partner is trying to pressure you in to sending something that you do not want to send.

6. Indulge Fantasies

There is something that can be very liberating about sexting. It gives you the opportunity to indulge in some fantasies with your partner without the potential awkwardness of being together when you do it. You can dress up in a particular outfit and send a picture without having to do the awkward face to face reveal if you are both together!

7. Be Confident

At the end of the day, you just have to completely and utterly own it! Nothing is more sexy than confidence, so if you ooze confidence in your pictures and your texts, it won’t matter what pose you're making or what words you are using. Your boyfriend will be putty in your hands and he won’t be able to rest until he gets to you in person!

8. Be InterestinG

Good sexting is like good sex. Be imaginative, be flirty, and keep things light. It's a two-way street so don't let the other person lose interest by not being responsive enough.

9. No UnSolicited Pics

Sure, we may have fun sexting in semi-inappropriate settings-like family dinners-however, there's nothing worse than opening your phone and having a penis on your screen for all your table neighbors to see! Don't send them if they didn't ask, and ask them to extend the same courtesy.

10. Cover Your Tracks

How embarrassing for your mother to borrow your phone and see your convos?! Easiest way to avoid this situation is dispose of any evidence. You'd hate to leave your phone lying around and some nosy person come sneak a peek at your risqué texts.

Have you tried sexting? Was it a disaster or did things get really hot when you got together later?
