The Benefits of Sexting

Sexting. It’s virtual, hot, and convenient.

Some people may sext because they’re in a long-distance relationship, some people may sext as foreplay for later in the day, and some people may sext because they want to get someone off or get themselves off. Sexting opens a world of possibilities, so let’s check them out.

Sexual Creativity

Sexting is an easy way for couples to explore their fantasies without physically partaking in them. As long as you’re sexting with someone who respects you and whom you trust, there’s room to see if those fantasies have a place in the real world. Sexting provides the space to explore situations that may be harder to initiate in person.

Building Your Trust and Connection with Each Other

You should never sext with someone you don’t trust. However, in a partnership or dating situation, sharing your desires with someone takes vulnerability and trust. When you’re vulnerable with someone and build on positive experiences together, it cultivates trust and connection in your relationship together.

Stress Relief

Similar to masturbating and having an orgasm, or having kick-ass sex, sexting releases our happy hormones which help us breathe a little easier throughout the day.

Many couples will sext during work as foreplay for getting home later. This can help give you and your partner a little mood boost throughout the day and relieve stress at work. Outside of sexual excitement, the idea that your partner is thinking about you, actively communicating with you, and wanting you helps keep the day fun and interesting.

Long Distance Relationships and Sexting

Long-distance relationships aren’t for everyone and one of the things that makes them so difficult for people is well, the distance. When there’s physical distance between you and your partner, it’s hard to be physically intimate and gratify each other. Sexting can help curb this appetite until you and your partner can see each other again!

Important, Sexting Safely!

It’s incredibly important to remember that you don’t have to send pictures or videos to have a steamy sexting session with someone. Once you send a picture or video to someone, there’s always a chance other people could see it. Before sending visual content, ask yourself how much you trust the person you’re sexting and how you would feel if anything got leaked.

Happy Sexting!
