6 Tips For Better FaceTime Sex

FaceTime sex can feel simultaneously intimate, exciting and awkward. A lot of men want to know what to say, how to kick things off, how to avoid looking uncomfortable or nervous and how to make sure the other person genuinely enjoys the call.

The good news is that better FaceTime sex isn't about pretending to be more confident than you are or having an arsenal of dirty-talk lines that would make a pornstar's eyes water. In reality, it's about preparation, presence, privacy, and honesty. If you both feel comfortable, safe and desired, then you're off to a good start.

Let's look at how we can make that happen.

It's boring, but privacy should be your first consideration because it's the part that will allow you to let go fully. Before you start, check your room, background, notifications and whether anyone else can hear you. Close any work tabs to be safe, hide any personal documents and make sure there's nothing in your background that could identify you or your location.

It might feel like overkill, but it prevents any anxious thoughts from sneaking in and ruining the moment mid-call.

It's also worth thinking about sound. Headphones are useful because they make the conversation feel more direct and stop audio carrying through walls. They also reduce the slightly strange feeling of hearing an intimate voice coming out of a laptop speaker.

You don't need a professional setup, but a few simple adjustments can turn the camera into your friend rather than your enemy. Put your phone, laptop or camera somewhere stable, ideally on a proper stand, so it doesn't slip. Light yourself from the front; backlighting turns you into a big shadow, while harsh ceiling lighting can be unflattering. Warm light is best.

Check your video before you start so that you're not fiddling around with angles when you should be getting intimate. How's the quality? Is the angle flattering? Is anything in your background distracting? A few minutes before you start the call will set you up for a smoother experience.

On video, your voice does more work than you might expect. Communicating whether you're having a good time and what you'd like to see more of is important for both parties to settle into the experience properly and get the most out of it.

Say what you like, but don't narrate every second like you're trying to fill dead air. Ask simple questions: "Do you like that?" "I love when you do X", "slow down for me" You don't need to sound perfect or say the 'right' thing, just show that you're present and engaged.

A useful line is, "Tell me if you want anything different." It gives the other person permission to guide the moment without feeling awkward. Many people won't correct you unless you make it easy for them.

Trying too hard is one of the easiest ways to make video sex feel uncomfortable or awkward. You don't need to be at 100% intensity or to act more confident than you are. This is true whether you're enjoying FaceTime sex with a cam girl or a romantic partner. When you start acting, you give the other person a reason to act too, and then you lose all of the authentic intimacy.

This is where men often get it wrong: they think confidence means leading every moment. Often, confidence means being present enough to notice what the other person is giving you and adjust without making it a big deal.

Last but not least, one of our best tips is to slow down the first 5 minutes or so. Don't rush straight into getting frisky. Have a chat first, flirt a little, hell, maybe even get a little seductive without being sexual. This sets a different tone, one that's more personal and collaborative.

It also takes some of the pressure off and gives you time to settle your nerves before you really get into it. Yes, you're excited, but taking a few minutes to ease into it makes the whole situation feel that bit more real and natural.
