If you're in a long-distance relationship (or if it's starting to feel like it these days), you may be searching for ways to keep each other aroused even when you're not physically together. Here are 5 tips for sexting, phone sex and long distance loving:

1. Share your fantasies with each other to spark a super sexy conversation. If you're not sure what your fantasies are, try taking inventory of your own pleasure with our Yes/No/Maybe/Fantasy list, or explore erotic photos, videos and media that you find stimulating and share links to those with your partner instead. 

2. Be as specific and descriptive as possible with your words. The better you can paint a picture for your partner of the sexy scenarios you're imagining, the more engaged and pleasurable the experience will be.

3. When it comes to sexting and knowing what to say, it may be helpful to read or listen to erotic stories to help you find your voice. Write your own erotic stories based on your fantasies or memorable experiences and share them with each other.

4. Another way to enhance phone sex or sexy video calls is through the use of sex toys for mutual masturbation. Kick it up a notch and invest in toys that feature bluetooth technology which allows users to control them remotely through an app. There are toys made for both male and female bodies and some brands can be used from long-distance and close range to help you bring each other pleasure from varying distances that feel comfortable for you both. 

5. Think of pleasure as a long game. With so much technology making it easier for us to connect in different ways: from sexting and erotic photos, to bluetooth pleasure technology and video calling apps; it's possible to stimulate your partner in through a variety of senses -- particularly through sight, sound and even touch. For example, you could start with sexting and erotic photos. Then, build up to a scheduled phone sex date night. Building on these dates, you could introduce video technology and try role play or sexy costumes to even further enhance these experiences. Mutual masturbation can be fun, but more pleasure can be found when you can slowly build up the arousal.
