If you think sending a cheeky self-portrait is all there is to sexting, think again.
You can introduce much more steamy things over text when you're in a long-distance relationship or you don't spend as much time together as you'd like.
Roleplaying games and sex games can be transformed into digital formats.
Think of the classics like Never Have I Ever, Would You Rather, and F**k, Marry, Kill.
With all sexual experiences, consent is paramount, so check in with your partner to ensure they're comfortable.
A good choice for couples who enjoy mystery is 20 Questions.
Play this game by picking a sex-related item and having your partner ask you yes-or-no questions until they guess what it is.
In addition to sending each other sex toys, lovers can build a wish list of sex toys to introduce the next time they get together.
Sexy Truth Or Dare can also be done over text to exchange intimate truths with your partner and try new things even when they’re not with you in person.
A favourite amongst long-term and long-distance couples is reminiscing on your favourite sex sessions or positions with each other.
And to keep anticipation in the air, this can be levelled up by discussing sexual fantasies you want to live out the next time you see each other.
Roleplay fans will be pleased to know that this can be done over text too.
Whatever characters you like to play, outline a dynamic or scene you’re keen to try with your partner and speak through how you’d like it to play out.
Edging is another sex technique than can be done virtually.
It involves using whatever digital means you can to bring each other close to orgasm, but stopping before it actually happens.
The idea of edging is that it’s meant to give a more intense and longer orgasm when you finally let your body run free.
A number of adults love to listen to music while having sex, too.
Thanks to modern technology, you can now build sex playlists for each other - or make a joint one - with some of your favourite songs to get you in the mood.
The playlist can then be used both when you’re together and for solo sessions to remind you of your long-distance beau.
Cosmopolitan recommends a game called Horny MadLibs.
It involves writing your own erotic story over text with some blanks and getting your partner to fill them in.
