How to send seductive sexting photos

Whether you want to tease your partner while they're away or take playful flirting to the next level, sending a seductive, sensual photo is an easy way to break the ice, heat things up, or add some spice and keep your loved one thinking of you.

If you're looking for that flirty vibe with a new potential partner without coming across as too forceful, a simple message or Snap is your go-to tool. It's personal, discreet, and very casual.

For those who want to play with their partner, sexting is a fun and exciting way to extend foreplay all day long. When the time comes to finally reconnect, you'll both be longing for each other.

Before you send that frontal sext (just kidding... you should never do that), read up on the best tips to make your sext as sexy, sensual, and seductive as possible. (Don't worry, we've got all the details listed below!)

Who are you sexting with?

Before sending photos, ask yourself if the connection feels secure (between you and the recipient, not your Wi-Fi). Do you trust this person? Do you know them well enough to answer that question?

If you're sending this to your partner, the answer will hopefully be a resounding yes. If you're still in the conversation phase, or if you met online and haven't even met in person yet, be careful about what you send. It might be better to keep things anonymous (so no faces, recognizable tattoos, or background details).

Photos can be saved with a simple screenshot. Rewind can be disabled in your Snapchat settings, but unfortunately, there's no block on any platform for screenshots or screen recordings. Even those who claim to block it have workarounds.

Keep in mind that anything you share could end up somewhere else. Sexy photos of you in the bath could be completely inappropriate, and if you're okay with something a little more naughty coming out, go for it! But keep in mind that photos or videos don't always stay private, no matter how much you trust your partner at the time. Screenshots and leaks can and do happen, no matter how much you trust the person you're sending them to.

From flirting to sexting with someone new

If this is a new flirt, start the conversation with a friendly "Hey, how are you?" text to break the ice. Keep the conversation playful. If they ask what you're doing, maybe send a photo to show them and get the photo-sharing started. We'll get into sensual photo ideas in a moment!

If you don't want to start sharing photos just yet, share them on your Instagram or Snapchat story if they're following you. It's not guaranteed they'll even look at your story (they might not even be active), but if they DO interact, you know they're curious and thinking about you... which is a good sign! Start that conversation and see how it goes.

If you send them a first message (or two) and they don't respond (ever), it's time to leave! They might still like you and want to talk in person, but if they're not answering your Snaps or DMs, don't waste your time. If they've responded to your Snaps before but suddenly stopped responding... they might be busy. Try again another time. If it's becoming a habit, take the hint and make sure they're removed from your favorites list.

Send a sexy photo

Every seductive photo requires considerable skill behind the camera. Capturing a sensual photo doesn't require much work (although it can be a full-time job for some); it just requires the right angle and editing. Showing off your best features in a casual way is the ultimate way to grab their attention without being too flashy. Here are a few poses that will catch their eye and keep your body top of mind!
