When you hear the term phone sex, do you imagine it to be some extravagant, high-end concept? Remember those posters with messages like 'mujhse friendship karoge' and a phone number to dial that you might have seen in small towns? Or those random SMSes from unknown numbers pre-internet era asking if you'd like to indulge in some ‘meethi baatein’? It's not just for the young crowd from the metros. Ayushmann Khurrana's character in 'Dream Girl' working in a call centre pretending to be a woman was also based on a similar concept. So, the notion that phone sex is a modern fancy is debunked. But when it comes to steamy chats with strangers, inhibition is lower. How about with your partner?

Long-distance relationships are like walking on a tightrope. You crave attention and company, but all you have are phone and video calls. What about when you yearn for a hug or the intimacy of lovemaking? Technology shrinks the world, allowing us to keep the spark alive. While relationships are about more than just sex, skillful phone sex can bridge the gap and bring enjoyment to both parties.

If you ask me, phone sex is the safest way to have a steamy time. Unlike actual sex, it's mess-free. You don't have to worry about STDs, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can end the conversation anytime. Also, unlike videos, there's no risk of your private moments ending up on the internet if things go sour (which I hope never happens with anyone).

Evidently, phone sex is when you indulge in intimate conversation over the phone. Basically, you let your imagination run wild and your voice does the talking while indulging in hot sex talk. Plus, the imagination can truly take over, creating all sorts of exciting scenarios.

Phone sex is often misunderstood and carries its fair share of taboos, but let's set the record straight. It's not just for long-distance couples; anyone can enjoy it to add spice to their relationship, regardless of proximity. Contrary to popular belief, it's not exclusive to single individuals or specific genders or sexual orientations—consenting adults of any background can engage.

My friend recently told me she's never tried phone sex. She thinks it doesn't feel very close. “ It feels like I am acting and can't shake the feeling that it's not real”. Maybe many of you share this concern too. 

It can be pretty common to feel a bit disconnected during phone sex, which is totally understandable. It's important to remember that everyone experiences things differently. If you are open to it, maybe you can explore ways to make it feel more genuine and connected, like setting the mood with soft lighting or including activities that feel more natural to you. Encouraging open communication with your partner about what feels good and what doesn't can also help enhance the experience.

So how do you dive in?

If there was a survey on how people kick off hot sex talk on the phone, I bet 90% would chime in with the classic "What are you wearing?" line. And hey, sure, it can do the trick sometimes, but let's be real: authenticity and imagination are where it's at. Nothing kills the vibe faster than being predictable and lacking that spark of spontaneity. It's hot when you can keep things fresh and exciting, throwing your partner off the edge with your creativity and those unexpected twists. So ditch the clichés, please.

Next up - set the mood. Anticipation is key here – building up that excitement before you even dial the number. Think of it like an appetizer before the main course. First off, timing is everything. Choose a moment when you're both relaxed and free from distractions, where you can really sink into the moment without interruptions. And your surroundings matter too. Create a space that's cozy and comfortable for some sexy phone call, maybe dim the lights, light some candles, or play some sultry tunes in the background. 

Before we dive in, let's chat about what NOT to do. Having sex on phone isn't as simple as saying, "Hey, wanna phone sex?" and just jumping into it. Maybe, that can work in some cases if you know the person and you guys have experience doing it with each other. But when it's your first time, there are some things to keep in mind. Timing—yeah, it's a big deal. You can't just dial up and start moaning. Don't rush it. When you get intimate with someone in person, unless things are already hot and heavy, you usually build up the mood first, right? Maybe a gentle caress, a whispered request for consent, playing with their hair, or just snuggling up close. Well, same deal here. And if you're starting out with texts, try dropping a subtle, sultry hint to gauge interest before diving in. So, what's the wrong way to go about having hot sex talk?

Imagine this scenario:

Person A: "Hey, what are you wearing right now?"

Person B: "Uh, jeans and a t-shirt. Why?"

Person A: "Oh, nothing...just wondering."

Or this

Person A: "I'm feeling kinda bored. Wanna do something fun?"

Person B: "Sure, what do you have in mind?"

Person A: "I dunno...maybe we could, uh, talk about...stuff?"

Yep, those lines definitely won't set the mood right. Instead of being direct and confident, they come off as awkward and uncertain. When initiating sex on phone, it's all about being playful, confident, and showing genuine interest in your partner's pleasure. So, leave the cringy lines at the door and embrace your inner seductive storyteller!

How to start hot talks on phone?

How to initiate those sensual conversations over the phone? Imagine this: you start off with a light-hearted comment about how you've been thinking about them all day. Maybe you mention how their voice always sends shivers down your spine. Then, you could playfully suggest a scenario, like imagining you're together in a cozy cabin on a rainy night, with nothing but the sound of the raindrops outside and the warmth of each other's bodies. As the conversation heats up, you could describe in vivid detail how you'd slowly explore each other's bodies, teasing and enticing with every touch. And don't forget to ask them what they're imagining too—encouraging them to share their desires and fantasies can make the experience even more intimate. Just remember to keep it consensual and respectful, and let your imaginations run wild together!

In the world of phone sex- you have two true heroes in your armour - your imagination and your voice, and do not underestimate the second. 

Imagine you're on the phone with your partner, and you start off by setting the mood with your voice—maybe you lower it to a husky whisper, or you playfully tease them with your words. As the conversation progresses, you could describe in detail how you're touching yourself, using your voice to convey the sensations you're feeling. And here's where sensory stimulation comes in: maybe you light a scented candle to enhance the atmosphere, or you use a silky scarf to gently caress your skin as you talk. You could even incorporate sounds—like the soft rustling of sheets or the gentle hum of a vibrator—to add another layer of sensory delight. 

And if you're struggling to bring out your sexiest voice, no worries! That's where sex toys like the OG vibrator or Lit suction vibrator massager (for women) or the Taco stroker vibrator  (for men) come in clutch. Seriously, they're like secret weapons for spicing up your phone sex game. Not only do they amp up your pleasure big time, but they also add a touch of realness to your voice while you're using them. Plus, they're a blast to use together, making you feel even closer even when you're apart.

But my friend, life isn't always a bed of roses, and the same goes for sex on phone.

There could be awkward moments and challenges that might pop up during phone sex. Look, it happens—maybe you're not sure what to say next, or there's a weird pause that feels like forever. But it's all part of the journey! One strategy for staying connected is to keep the communication flowing. If things start to feel awkward, just acknowledge it and laugh it off together. Remember, you're in this together, and a little awkwardness is totally normal. Another tip is to focus on the senses—describe what you're feeling, hearing, and imagining in vivid detail. It's all about painting a picture with your words and keeping that connection strong, even when you're not together physically. 

So, in a nutshell, sex on phone isn't always a walk in the park. But hey, neither is life, right? It can be about finding the fun in the awkward moments. Just remember to keep the lines of communication and consent open, stay playful, and don't take things too seriously. Because at the end of the day, it's all about enjoying the ride and feeling closer to your partner, even if you're miles apart. So, embrace the imperfections, laugh off the hiccups, and keep the passion burning bright!
