DO: Be aware of predictive text: “lick” comes up as “kick”, and “cock” as “anal”. Always check before you hit send.

DON’T: Expect a text fling to last. It can be addictive. It’s also hard to maintain such a level of intensity without the physical and emotional connections. Enjoy it for what it is.

DO: Use it as foreplay. Tease your man with a suggestive SMS while he’s at work and slowly build it up until you’re both filled with saucy excitement.

DON’T: Indulge in text sex if one of you is attached. Apart from the obvious risk factor of getting caught with messages on your mobile, think about whether you’d consider it cheating if the situation were reversed.

DO: Check, double check and triple check that you’re sending the message to the right person. The name Dan, for instance, is likely to be right next to Dad in your phone book!

DON’T: Expect the real thing to be as good, particularly if you’ve been generous with descriptions of your vital stats. Cybersex is best kept in cyberspace – unless you both think you can live up to the hype.

Got the ‘text’ factor?

LET YOUR FANTASIES RUN WILD
You may be applying hair-removal cream to your top lip, but when he asks what you’re doing, tell him you’re wet and covered in cream.

DO A STRIPTEASE
Tell him you’re slowly undressing for him and describe each sexy item you’ve removed until you’re completely naked.

GET INTO THE PART
You’ll write the best messages and have the most explosive orgasms if you get into the mood. Choose a time when you won’t be disturbed, turn the lights down, put on some sexy music and when you tell him what you’re doing to yourself, do it!
