You may not be able to enjoy the normal level of physical pleasure you’re used to, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other forms of pleasure to indulge in during quarantine. Sexting is about building tension, creating anticipation, giving free rein to the fantasies that otherwise may never come to light. Embrace the eroticism of your imagination while you are unable to embrace each other. Find pleasure in each other’s words.
In this dystopic plague-ridden reality, where one night stands have become a high-risk sport, asking, “What else do you want to do to me?” can help soothe our quarantine cravings. It might not be the gentle silkiness of somebody’s skin, but it’s what we have right now, so make the most of it!
If you need more intimacy now is your time to get creative. Choose a recipe and cook it together while apart. Then you can wine dine 69 while sharing the same meal even if you’re not at the same table. Or pick a movie you know will get you both hot and bothered and watch it at the same time.
One of the best parts of the quarantine is you both have the luxury of time. Use it! Enjoy the slow builds and the drawn-out sexting sessions. Put in the effort to learn the most effective foreplay for your partner. Work on your edging abilities. Find ways to connect with each other mentally while you’re unable to connect physically. You may just come out of this quarantine a better lover and stronger couple despite the time and distance between you now.
Stay safe out there. We will see you next week for more tips and tricks to help you master sexting.
