36 Texts To Initiate Sexting

Choose a Girl

Sexting is a great place to introduce some of your kinks. If you happen to be into something kinky (like, say, wanting yourself or your partner to be naked all day), telling your partner about it will help you gauge their interest. If you find yourself unsure of what to say, sometimes starting with an easy “I want you” goes a long way and gets the point across.

Decide what kind of photos you want to send.

Cybersex is any type of sexual activity that uses the internet. Sexting can happen via messaging on cell phones or other messaging services. It also can happen through apps or direct messaging on social media sites.

She suggests checking out books such as The Best Women’s Erotica, Volume 6, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, and sites like Literotica and Bellesa. For instance, if you could try anything with your partner IRL, what would it be?

Advanced Techniques for Building Tension

Feel free to copy and paste as you see fit or use them to come up with sexting ideas yourself. Though you may have no idea what to say, know that there’s no right or wrong way to sext. Whether you copy and paste sexting examples or you craft the sexts yourself, as long as you and your partner feel comfortable with how the conversation escalates, that’s what is important. Simply describe what you would want to do to your partner or what you’d want them to do to you.

• It’s never acceptable to forward an intimate message or show it to a friend without the sender’s explicit consent.
• Just like sex, sexting can mean something very different to different girls.

But while sexting may have started with SMS, any secure messaging platform will do, including social media apps like Snapchat. And thanks to camera-equipped devices and an ever-evolving emoji library, sexting has become a lot more visually stimulating since its early days — and a lot more fun.

Be mindful of how your words might be interpreted by your partner so that they are clear about what they mean.

Additionally, if English isn’t your first language, use language translation tools like Google Translate for more accurate communication with international partners. It’s important to have a conversation about expectations and preferences when sexting.
