Do's and Don'ts: The Ultimate Guide to Snapchat Sexting

Design by Brittany Isdith In a world of ever-changing technology and endless methods of communication, how do sexually active young people get the message across that they are ready to bang? Snapchat, of course. The popular app is useful for when you want to send a quick triple-chin picture that will disappear after five seconds, but it also works for when you want to send something a little more risqué.

Here are some tips for sexy snapping.

Do what feel right for you.

You’re in control here, so take a picture that you know works best for you. Pay attention to your angles and what looks good. Start off slow... a sensual pic while still in your underwear is a good way to ease into it, especially if this is your sexual debut with this person. It might be a little much to send someone a wild full body nude the first time you send them a sexy snap.

Timing is everything.

Everyone loves seeing a hot bod but there is a time and a place for it. If you know the person you’re sending this to is babysitting young kids or at his great aunt’s funeral, maybe hold off for a bit. The best time for a sexy snap is probably at night. The mood is set. Your partner is probably in bed—the perfect time to strike.

Scratch that, ambiance is everything.

Let us not forget about the importance of ambiance. Consider the message that your nude is sending? Is it fun and flirty? Add some clever emojis or doodles. Is it sultry and seductive? Add that filter that makes everything… bluer—it makes everything look more mysterious.

Don't hesitate to use captions.

Don’t discount the chat feature. The chats disappear eventually as well, so don’t be afraid to say something a little raunchy to get your partner going. A sexy message along with the pic is just the right combination you need to heat things up. Don't know where to start? A simple and straight forward “I want you now” will do the trick.

Confidence is key.

The entire point of snapchat is that it disappears quickly. Be confident, it only lasts a few seconds! It is hot, fast, and dangerous, so be bold. Taking nudes should empower you and make you feel like you have control, so capitalize on it.

Watch that send button closely.

This may seem obvious, but make absolutely positive that you’re sending these hot nudies to the right person. Like, triple check. A hot pic intended for your FWB, but sent to Becky from LIT 101 could be disastrous.

Happy snapping!
