How to Sext: Complete Guide with 120 Effective Phrases
Learning how to sext effectively can completely transform your intimate life, especially in long-distance relationships or to add a spark to your daily routine. Sexting is the exchange of messages, photos, or videos with explicit or suggestive sexual content between two consenting individuals. In this complete guide, we offer you not only the best phrases to start and maintain fiery conversations, but also tips to do it safely and satisfactorily.
What is sexting and why has it become so popular?
Sexting (a combination of "sex" and "texting") involves the voluntary sending of messages, photos, or videos with erotic or sexual content, usually through messaging apps or social networks. Its popularity has grown exponentially, especially during periods like the pandemic, where long-distance relationships became more common.
This type of intimate communication allows us to:
- Keep the flame of desire alive in long-distance relationships
- Break the monotony in established couples
- Explore fantasies in a controlled environment
- Create anticipation before physical encounters
How to sext safely: Basic rules
Before we dive into the phrases that will help you master the art of sexting, it is essential to establish some basic rules to do it safely and respectfully:
1. Mutual consent
The golden rule: both people must be 100% in agreement to participate. Never send explicit content without having previously established that the other person is interested in and comfortable receiving this type of message.
2. Privacy
If you decide to send photos or videos:
- Avoid showing your face or identifiable marks (tattoos, moles, etc.)
- Use apps with ephemeral messages like Instagram or Snapchat
- Consider options that notify screenshots
- Never include identifiable personal information
3. Trust
Sexting involves vulnerability. Ideally, you should practice it with someone you trust and with whom you have an established relationship, thus reducing potential risks.
Remember: Once you send digital content, you lose control over it. Always ask yourself: would I be comfortable if this content were leaked?

How to use these phrases for effective sexting
It's not just about throwing out random phrases, but about creating a seductive narrative. Here are some tips to improve your technique:
Create anticipation
Sexting is like a dance where anticipation plays a fundamental role. Don't go straight to the point, build tension gradually:
- Start with subtle hints
- Leave room for imagination ("I'm thinking of doing something with you that we've never tried...")
- Use ellipses strategically
- Wait a few minutes between intense messages to build anticipation
Personalize your messages
The most effective phrases are those that evoke shared memories or specific fantasies with your partner. Referring to intimate moments you've experienced together creates a deeper connection than generic phrases.
Read the room
Pay attention to the responses you receive. If you notice enthusiasm, you can intensify; if you perceive doubts or short answers, it's better to lower the intensity or ask directly if it's a good time.
Sex toys that can complement your sexting experience
Sexting can be even more exciting when combined with sex toys, especially those that can be controlled remotely. Some options that can elevate the experience include:
- Vibrators controlled by a mobile app that your partner can manage from a distance (See vibrator collection)
- Clitoral stimulators for her, which she can use while describing the sensations (See clitoral stimulator collection)
- Toys specifically designed for couples in long-distance relationships (See remote-control toys)
- Lubricants that can add specific sensations while being described in messages (See lubricants and accessories)
The risks of sexting and how to avoid them
Although sexting can be a fun and satisfying practice, it comes with certain risks that are important to be aware of:
Extortion and viralization
The main risk is that your intimate content falls into the wrong hands or is used to extort you. To minimize this risk:
- Avoid including your face or identifiable marks
- Use apps that notify when someone takes screenshots
- Consider apps with self-destructing messages
- Establish clear agreements on content privacy
Sexting and infidelity
If you are in a relationship, it is essential to be clear whether sexting with third parties is considered infidelity. Some questions you should ask yourself:
- Why am I seeking this interaction outside my relationship?
- How would I feel if my partner did the same?
- Does this behavior go against the agreements established in my relationship?
Honest communication with your partner about boundaries and expectations is fundamental to avoid misunderstandings and pain.
Sexting according to experts: psychological benefits
According to psychologist and sexologist Mariana Kersz, sexting, when practiced consensually and safely, can offer multiple psychological benefits:
- Improves communication of desires and fantasies
- Helps to disinhibit and explore new dimensions of sexuality
- Boosts self-esteem by feeling desired
- Elevates levels of well-being-related hormones like dopamine and serotonin
- Maintains emotional and sexual connection in long-distance relationships
Conclusion: Sexting as a tool for intimate connection
Learning how to sext effectively is mastering an art of intimate communication that can significantly enrich your relationships. With the right phrases, necessary precautions, and mutual respect, sexting can become a powerful tool to keep the flame of passion alive, explore new dimensions of your sexuality, and strengthen the connection with your partner, whether you are separated by miles or simply by daily routines.
Always remember that respect, consent, and clear communication are the fundamental pillars for this practice to be satisfactory and safe for all involved.
