It's all about painting pictures in the other person's mind and responding in a sexy way to the things they send to you. Some people only use text, others will take pictures or videos of themselves using webcams. The key to good sexting or online sex is communication and imagination. It can involve talking or flirting or partners can masturbate. It could be your regular partner or someone you've met online. Sexting and online sex means using phone calls, text messages, internet chat rooms, email, instant messaging or online video chat (such as Skype or FaceTime) to exchange sex chat with another person or to send explicit pictures or video. However, there are still other risks from sexting and online sex and some things you should know if you're thinking of trying it. As there is no physical contact during sexting and online sex (also called ‘cyber sex’, 'virtual sex' or ‘phone sex’) there is no risk of sexually transmitted infections to either partner.
