ADVICE

Use The Past-And-Future Rule

Use the “past and future” rule: reference a recent sexual moment and a desired future act to craft sexts.
Be specific and mean what you ask so the sext reads authentic and actionable.

ADVICE

Use The Three Dots For Tension

Embrace the three dots to build anticipation by sending messages in bite-sized parts.
Break a line into multiple texts so the typing indicator heightens arousal and attention.

ADVICE

Make Better Nudes And Protect Them

Stage a nude shoot for yourself: set mood, use golden-hour or filtered lighting, and prioritize angles.
Protect consent and privacy by asking before sending and storing nudes in locked folders or passworded notes.

Sexting sounds simple until you're actually staring at your phone, cursor blinking, wondering if what you're about to send is hot or just... weird. In this episode, I'm giving you the full breakdown on how to text dirty with confidence—because good sexting is really just foreplay with a keyboard.

I'm answering your questions about everything from how to build tension with something as small as three dots, to what to do when your partner wants to sext around the clock but you're just not feeling it. Plus, I'm sharing some of the hottest sexts the Sex With Emily community has ever received (you asked, you delivered, and wow).

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The "past and future" technique that makes writing a sext way less intimidating—and way more effective

• What to say when your long-distance partner's sexting pace doesn't match yours (hint: you're allowed to set your own rhythm)

• How sexting can actually help you communicate desires that feel too awkward to say face-to-face
