'I luv u' doesn't cut it. Spice things up with a little txt sex.
There's nothing like a little bit of dirty texting to keep you both excited. Our simple guide to naughty texting will see you hitting all the right buttons to turn your man on.
Do: Always practise safe text.
Do: Be aware of predictive text: "lick" comes up as "kick" and it's not sexy to tell him you want to kick him all over ... or down there. Poor guy!
Don't: Don't expect a text fling to last. It's sexy but without face-to-face contact things can fizzle. There's definitely something to be said for occasionally picking up the phone and talking.
Do: Let yourself go! Sometimes it's easier to tell your man what you want when it's written in a small screen in 160 characters.
Don't: Don't use emoticons. There is nothing sexy about a wink on a text. Make your text doing the winking for you.
Do: Use it as foreplay. Tease him with messages throughout the day while he's at work. He'll thank you for it when he gets home that night.
Don't: Don't indulge in text sex if one of you is attached. Apart from the obvious risk factor of getting caught with messages on your mobile, think about whether you'd consider it cheating if you were the recipient's partner.
Don't: Don't write in "text talk". It's not sexy if he has to decipher what you are saying. "I wnt U 2 B wif me." WTF?
Don't: Don't expect the real thing to be as good, particularly if you've been generous with descriptions of your vital stats. Cybersex is best kept in cyberspace unless you both think you can live up to the hype.
Don't: Don't have his number saved one up or one down from your mum or dad in your contacts list. Things can get heated and you could easily send your racy text to you oldies. Shame!
Do: Try to always "reply" to his messages to avoid the embarrassment above.
Don't: Sign off every single text with "xoxoxox". It detracts from the sexiness. Save the kisses for when he finally makes it to your place.
Got the 'text' factor?
Tell him what you want
So you're just out of the shower and you're on the sofa watching Idol. He doesn't need to know you're in your towel still. Make it sound sexy: "I am just waiting for you to have your way with me." See, you're not lying are you?
Take it off, text-style
Text stripping. Heard of it? Text him every piece of clothing you're taking off until you are completely naked. The thought of you stripping and him not being there will drive him wild.
Full-blown text?
You'll be your most relaxed and feeling sexy when you're comfortable so lay down, strip off and get texting!
