Spending time physically apart from a partner can be challenging, but thankfully, modern technology offers some very fun ways to stay connected. While sexting and phone sex are great, there’s nothing like a smoking hot Skype sex session to make you feel close, even from miles away.
Whether you're new to it or a seasoned pro, this is your expert guide to making sure your virtual encounters are completely mind-blowing.
First, a quick update on Skype
While "Skype sex" is the term everyone knows and searches for, the app itself is on its way out. The good news is that all the tips in this guide work perfectly for any video platform, like FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Google Meet. We'll keep calling it Skype sex because that's the classic term, but know that you can apply these skills anywhere.
How to set up for amazing Skype sex (The technical stuff)
A little prep work can make the difference between a frustrating, laggy call and a seamless, sexy experience. Nothing kills the mood faster than a bad connection or a laptop that suddenly dies.
Get your tech right
Do a little damage control in advance. Reboot your computer if it’s been a while and check your internet connection. Make sure your camera is clean for a clear picture. Most importantly, if you’re planning on using a toy at any point, make sure it’s fully charged and ready to go.
Set the mood
Think about your location and what your partner will see. You don't need a movie set, but a little effort goes a long way. Consider some soft, luxurious bedding and a few scented candles. This will not only look great on camera but will also help you feel more sensual. And don’t forget about your outfit — consider wearing your sexiest lingerie underneath your clothes for a surprise reveal later.
How to perform during Skype sex (The fun part)
The beauty of Skype sex is that you get to combine dirty talk with live visuals. It's a chance to actually see each other get lost in the moment. Make sure you use that to your advantage.
Combine dirty talk with visuals
Start by telling your partner in detail what you’d like to do to them if you were in the same room. Make eye contact through the camera to amplify the effect. Let them enjoy watching you as you touch yourself, and don't forget to soak up the sizzling sight of their enjoyment as well.
Bring in your sex toys
Toys can take your Skype sex session from good to unforgettable. Not only will it make the experience more stimulating for you, but it provides an incredibly hot show for your partner. For an interactive experience, a remote-controlled wearable vibe like the Unda lets your partner control your pleasure from anywhere in the world. For a powerful solo show, a wand vibrator like the Ultra Wand is always a crowd-pleaser.
3 fun Skype sex ideas to try
If you're feeling a little nervous or just want to try something new, these simple scenarios can add a fun, playful dynamic to your call.
1. The Director
Take turns being "The Director." When it's your partner's turn, they're in complete control and get to tell you exactly what to do, from how to touch yourself to what position you should be in. Then, switch roles and direct your own scene.
2. The Striptease
A classic for a reason. Start your call fully clothed and slowly disrobe for your partner while dancing to some music. Using a chair as a prop can help you feel more stable and confident in your movements. Once you're down to your lingerie or completely naked, you can transition into the main event.
3. The Surprise Reveal
Before your call, put on your sexiest outfit. Then, put a big hoodie or robe over it so your partner can't see what's underneath. Begin the call like a normal conversation, and then, when the moment feels right, surprise them by revealing what you're wearing. Just make sure they're in a private place first!
Skype sex is a powerful opportunity to explore a wilder side of yourself and your relationship. It’s meant to be satisfying, but it's also supposed to be fun, so don’t take it too seriously. If something feels awkward, just laugh it off together. At the end of the day, it's all about connection, and this is one of the most exciting ways to maintain it.
