“My flirtexting has dramatically decreased since getting engaged. My flirtexts now consist of messages like, ‘Babe, do you want me to pick up a chicken for dinner?’ Although I’m fairly certain that turns her on.”—Scott
If you are reading this chapter it means that you have successfully passed through the early stages of flirtexting and into a fabulous committed relationship. A congrats is in order! Now, just because you have entered into the land of “we” does not mean that you can call up your cell phone provider and cancel your unlimited texting plan. Flirtexting is still fantastically important in an existing relationship—only now you’re able to take it one step further.
In a relationship, the fact that you both care deeply about each other is out in the open and felt equally by both parties. This commitment allows you the luxury to relax a bit more when sending texts. You don’t have to spend as much time on your BPTs and you can go ahead and throw texting timelines out the window! Whew. Flirtexting in a relationship opens the door for you to explore the other, shall we say, more risqué things you can do with text. With that, feel free to text things that only prove how into him you are by going beyond the flirtext.
“I like texting because you can turn a girl on via text while you are on your way to her house, telling her just how you want her upon your arrival.”—Evan
When you’ve been with the same person for a while, what better way to spice up your relationship than with a fiery flirtext? One that will arouse more than just his senses (wink wink). Yes that’s right. We’re talking about the sext-text, or sexting, and it’s a long-term dating DO! It’s sex over text, and it’s HOT!
[Sexting: Descriptive sexual conversations through text with the intention of arousing the person on the receiving end.
When the mood strikes, you can reveal fantasies and sexy thoughts to him while he is out of town, at work, or even across the dinner table. There’s always time for a fantasy text!
Examples:
Long-distance Relationships
Sexting is especially beneficial in long-distance relationships. The need for sexting heightens when you’re not around one another. It’s an excellent way to remain close, especially if there’s a time difference. If you are getting ready for bed on the East Coast and he is finishing up a meeting on the West Coast, he is still able to connect with you in your time of need. Sure, it’s not the real deal, but hey, it beats nothing at all! (Um, did we mention this is a great form of safe sex? ) Texting helps make long distance more bearable by having the ability to be in constant contact.
Virgin to sexting? Not to worry. It doesn’t hurt. Talk about that thing he did to you last night that you loved. Text what you want to do to him when you see him next or what you are dying for him to do to you. Talk about how your salad came with a really big cucumber and you thought of him. Be bold, be blunt, and be bad. Be a little selfish when you dirty text and say things that will turn you on in the meantime. Chances are if it turns you on, it’ll turn him on twice over.
Shy by nature? This is a great way for those of you on the shyer side to let your man know what you like sexually. If you are too embarrassed to tell him in person, use text and the casual and safe environment that it provides to tell him your fantasies. You’ll be surprised how much you will benefit from being open about your likes and dislikes through sexting.
Not into sexting? Flirtexting with your man doesn’t always have to be dirty. Texts like suggesting pizza and football for a Monday night date or randomly sending “I love you” go a long way too. Long-term relationships can get mundane so you’ve constantly got to be doing little things to keep the sparks alive and the butterflies flying! Sending a random, thoughtful flirtext is a great way to show him how much you care.
With technology these days, the sexting possibilities are endless. Imagine what you can do if your cell phone had a camera on it. Oh, but wait ... it does.
Ah, the infamous photo text. Now that most cell phones have cameras in them, sexting has been taken to a whole new level. All those scandalous things you’re texting your man can now include illustrations and pictures. WOW! The only thing better than sexting is a sex text that includes a classy, yet sexy photo starring yours truly!
Men happen to be visual creatures. Therefore, we understand the enthusiasm that guys are overcome with when it comes to the camera phone. We’re keen on taking a little off for his entertainment pleasure, but he’s going to have to be involved to see the real deal.
Whenever you are taking a racy photo text of yourself, proceed with caution. Never include your face in the photo. Even though you are in love now, what happens if something goes terribly wrong and you have a nasty break up later? You guessed it! Hello Facebook photo tagged of you and your large breasts! May we remind you that you’re also friends with your boss? Proceed with caution.
Here are a few classy ways of using the photo text to spice up an existing relationship:
WARNING ABOUT USING THE PHOTO TEXT:
If you are NOT in a serious relationship with a guy and you text him dirty photos of yourself, he will forward them to his friends. We can’t stress enough how you must proceed with caution when sending racy photos of yourself. So be smart, ladies, and trust us on this one. Boys can be pigs sometimes. The last thing they are thinking about when they receive a hot photo of a new girl they are dating are her feelings. We’ve seen too many of our girlfriends get hurt because they sent nude pictures of themselves to guys they were “just dating” to find out they’ve become the screensaver on his friends’ phones. This is why we only advocate sending these kinds of texts when you are in a committed relationship. Otherwise, expect what you send to him to be forwarded to his entire soccer team.
Guys can lose their heads, and their phones sometimes, and we don’t want to see your boobs on the Internet.
Heart game: Before you go out that night with your BF, color ten hearts on your body with a red Sharpie. Make some obvious (inside of wrist, on finger, on back of shoulder) and others hidden (behind neck, on inside of thigh, behind ear). Right before you get to dinner tell him that you are playing a game with him tonight. Explain that you have ten hearts on your body and over the course of the night he has to text you places where he thinks they are located. If he guesses them all by the time you are ready to head home, then his prize is that you will strip down showing him exactly where each is located on your body. (You can also add that he can kiss each location while you are showing him.) Feel free to give him hints if he’s struggling (example text: “I go crazy when you kiss me here”).
This game only works when you are planning an evening out with friends or other people. There is something super sexy about having a steamy conversation in front of other people that only the two of you are in on.
The most important thing to remember when using text to spice up an existing relationship is to do a little bit of everything. Send him dirty ones when you’re feeling a little feisty, fun and playful texts when you’re thinking about him throughout the day, and intimate flirtexts when you miss him. The key is to mix all these different kinds of spices together. This will keep him on his toes and wanting you more and more with every flirtext sent.
