The Best Positions for Having Facetime Sex

Key Points

• In 2023, there are LOTS of ways to have sex with someone who's not in the same room.

• Before doing the deed, consent, and understanding of privacy laws are both essential.

• Unlike face-to-face sex, FaceTime sex relies on a solid internet connection and specific considerations beforehand.

• There is no right or wrong way to engage in FaceTime sex, but there are a few tips to consider to get the most out of your long-distance nooky.

Phone sex? Webcam sex? Once upon a time, these were considered kinky voyeurism fetishes. But in 2023, there are plenty of reasons why you may want to have sex over a digital platform. Maybe your partner is far away, or maybe you need human contact right NOW.

No matter the reason, something is exciting and fun about showing your sexy self in the most flattering angles possible.

If you're just getting into the game, you may wonder what the best position for FaceTime sex is. Fear not. This article will help you learn the basics of FaceTime sessions and give you plenty of tips on making the experience most enjoyable for all parties involved.

What Is FaceTime Sex?

FaceTime sex is when two people have sexual intercourse using the FaceTime smartphone app. You might have heard this referred to as video sex or virtual sex; FaceTime sex just refers to one specific platform (Skye, Zoom, or other forms of sex across the miles are pretty much all the same thing).

To have FaceTime sex, two (or more) people use smartphones with good, clear cameras. All parties involved should have the FaceTime app installed and be able to see each other's faces during the act.

Many couples enjoy this type of sex because it allows them to feel close to each other even when they're not in the same room. It can be a way to spice up your sex life if you're in a long-distance relationship.

If you are thinking about trying FaceTime sex, keep a few things in mind:

• Make sure you're both comfortable with the idea. Remember: Consent is sexy!

• Find a time when you won't be interrupted — unless that's your thing.

• Check that your wifi connection is strong enough to support FaceTime. You don't want to be reaching for that finish line to have your connection drop and leave your video call buffering.

There are plenty of other things to consider based on your personal preferences and comfort level, but these suggestions top most people's lists.

Benefits of FaceTime Sex

While some may view FaceTime sex as inherently impersonal, there are several benefits to this form of sexual activity. FaceTime sex helps to bridge the physical distance between partners.

For geographically separated couples, long-distance sex can help keep the sexual connection alive. In addition, FaceTime sex can be a great way to spice up a relationship. By trying new positions, experimenting with different forms of stimulation, and even incorporating props and toys, couples can add excitement and variety to their sex lives.

FaceTime sex — and even simple sexting — can help couples connect on a deeper level. The ability to see each other's expressions and hear each other's voices helps create a more intimate experience.

Ultimately, whether or not to engage in FaceTime sex is a personal decision. However, for those couples who try it, the benefits can be well worth it.

Privacy and Personal Info 101

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but class is in session!

Before getting to the juicy part of the article, it's best to know a few things about privacy and personal information. First, anything you say or do on a video call can be recorded without your knowledge. If you're discussing sensitive topics, be aware that the recipient could use this against you.

Second, when you share your screen with someone on a video call, they can see everything on your computer screen. That includes any personal or confidential information you may have open. If you share your screen with someone, close any sensitive tabs or windows before doing so.

Third, if you use a public wifi network to make a video call, your conversation could be intercepted by someone else on the same network. Using a secure, private wifi connection is best when discussing sensitive information.

Fourth, ensure your device is safe from being hacked. Some hackers will steal your videos and use them as ransom against you. They can still share the videos online even after you hand over the money.

Mutual Agreement

Before agreeing to a FaceTime session sans clothing, trust the person on the other end of the device. With today's technology, taking screenshots and recording a video call is extremely easy. All parties involved must be on the same page about what behavior is acceptable and what is a violation of the agreement.

Sometimes a verbal agreement is not enough. Make a contract and have everyone sign the document. It will help to avoid any misunderstandings down the road.

Hey, Christian Grey did it, and so can you!

Setting the Stage

There's nothing steamy about fluorescent light. Unless your partner has a thing for gaunt-looking zombies (no shame if that's your thing), warmer lights help set a more inviting mood. Soft, diffused lights such as amps with low-wattage bulbs, warm LED string lights, and even electric teapot lights instantly transform your room into a sexier space.

The key is not to have any bright light shining directly on your face. If in doubt, do a quick test to see whether the lights flatter your complexion and which angle brings out the best features on you.

Remove Distractions

Create a visually pleasing backdrop. A tidy, stylish room helps put you and your partner in the mind for romance. If your space is cluttered or too busy, try rearranging furniture or hanging up some curtains or tapestries to create a more intimate atmosphere.

If you have pets, remove them from the room so they can't photobomb the session with super closeups of their faces (or other body parts).

Lastly, mute the notifications on your phone. The constant Whatsapp and Facebook pings will kill the mood faster than you can say "mood killer."

Make an Effort: Dressing Up

When you're getting ready for a romantic phone cam session with your partner, it's essential to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Whether you go for basic lingerie or something more playful and fun, the most important thing is feeling good in what you're wearing.

If you're unsure what to wear, try asking your partner for their input — they'll be happy to help you choose an outfit they love.

Go Hands-Free

Freeing your hands allows you to do much more while teasing and masturbating. If you don't have one, invest in a phone tripod and a BlueTooth headset. This way, you can set the phone stationary for a better image and talk with your partner without yelling across the room.

Get Your Equipment Ready

Ensure you have everything you need within reach, like lube, toys, tissues, and anything else that might make your experience more enjoyable. Having everything handy will help keep the momentum going and avoid awkward pauses.

There's No Right or Wrong Way to Do It

FaceTime sex is a great way to stay connected with your partner when you're physically apart. There's no right or wrong way to do FaceTime sex, so what feels comfortable and enjoyable for you and your partner is essential. If you're new to FaceTime sex, discuss what you're comfortable doing before actually getting into the act.

Rev Up the Anticipation

Before the session begins, build the anticipation by creating intimate clips or a series of sexy photos of you getting ready, like the trailer for an event. Close-ups of your lingerie and cleavage, suggestive hand movement across your body, and some shots of specific body areas where they crave the most — send those over to your partner throughout the day so they can get into the right mindset.

They'll be drooling even before the main attraction begins. 

Bring on the Teasing Game

Delayed gratification can intensify the sexual tension between you and your partner. So the more you tease each other, the more satisfying the phone sex will become. Moreover, you will build a strong connection by prolonging the intimacy and learning more about each other. This intimacy is essential for long-distance couples to keep the relationship strong.

Get Dirty Together

Watch erotic videos or read erotic stories together to get in the mood. Once you've gotten comfortable, experiment with dirty talk, different positions, fantasies, and role-playing.

Communicate with your partner and let them know what you're enjoying. With a little creativity and communication, FaceTime sex can be a fun and intimate experience for both of you to explore sexual frontiers you may never have known if you were always in the same room.

Leave Some Room for Imagination

Have you ever found someone half-dressed more attractive than fully naked? That constant thought of what's hiding underneath the clothing keeps you intrigued.

Slowly wiggle down to your birthday suit instead of stripping quickly to your undies. Even when you're masturbating, keeping your partner from being able to see what they want. For example, push your breasts out but leave the bra on the whole time. Leaving your pants on but pulled down can have the same effect on guys. That little bit of clothing will make your partner go crazy.

Ease Into the Best Position for Sex

When it comes to FaceTime sex, the best position is comfortable and intimate for both partners. Choose a position that allows you to see your partner's face if possible. It will help you feel more connected to them during the experience. It can also be helpful to have your partner's body in view to see their reaction to your touch.

Some people may feel more comfortable being on their back, while others may feel more comfortable on all fours. It varies from person to person. Some people like to see their partner's face while having sex, which would be a reason to have sex in a position where you're facing each other. Other people may want to watch themself have sex, so they would choose a position where they can see themself in the mirror.

With all forms of sexual activity, communication is key. Discuss with your partner what positions work best for you. And remember, there is no right or wrong way to have FaceTime sex. The most important thing is that you are both enjoying yourself.

Finding Your Best FaceTime Sex Position

If you're new to FaceTime sex, figuring out which position works best can be difficult. Here are a few sex tips to help you find your best FaceTime sex positions:

• Think about what you want to see. If you want to see your partner's face, you'll want to be in a position where your head is above theirs. If you're more interested in their body, you'll like them to be below you. You can also try positions that give you a different view, like having your partner sit up while you lie down or vice versa.

• Another thing to consider is what feels good for you physically. If you have any back or neck pain, avoid sex positions that strain those areas. If you're not used to being on your phone for long periods, find a position that doesn't strain your arms or hands.

• If you're flustered about what you should be doing, try playing the command game in which you and your partner take turns giving sexy commands to each other. Such commands include undressing a particular piece of clothing, tracing a finger along the inner thigh, playing with your breasts, and shifting into various positions.

What Should You Do If You're Body-Conscious?

First and foremost, it's crucial to understand that everyone has insecurities, and there's no such thing as a "perfect body." Don't put pressure on yourself to look a certain way. Focus on enjoying the moment and being present with your partner.

If you're self-conscious, try shifting your focus away from your body and onto your partner. Notice how they touch you (via your own hands) and how it feels. Or, focus on your pleasure and how good it feels to be touched. If you communicate with your partner and stay present, you can enjoy phone sex sessions regardless of appearance.

Face-Only FaceTime Sex

If you can't get over seeing yourself on screen, try focusing the phone on your and your partner's faces. The fact that you're watching each other masturbate and enjoying the moment can be an incredibly intimate and rewarding experience.

Bath FaceTime Sex

Another way to deal with body insecurity is drawing a bubble bath and allowing your partner to watch you masturbate in the tub. With this method, make sure your device is stationed on a counter so it can't slip and fall into the water. Ensure the water is not too hot, as you can become dizzy while staying in the tub for an extended time.

Bring Sex Toys Into FaceTime Sex

Many people turned to FaceTime sex to stay connected to their partners during the coronavirus pandemic. But how can you make FaceTime sex even better? By incorporating sex toys!

Talk About It Beforehand

Discuss with your partner what you're both comfortable with and what activities you want to try. This will help ensure that everyone is on the same page and that everyone is satisfied.

Use Pillows to Maximize the Visuals

One way is to prop your head up with a pillow so your partner can clearly see you. It will allow them to see your face and body language. Another way to use pillows is to change the angle of penetration of the sex toy, making it more pleasurable. Ultimately, there are many different ways you can use pillows to enhance your experience with sex toys during FaceTime sex. Experiment and see what works best for you.

Try a Remote Sex Toy That Your Partner Can Control

Newer technology offers amazing long-distance remote toys that your phone or other smart devices can control like vibrators, cock rings, and dildos. Before using a toy during FaceTime sex, it is vital to make sure that the remote sex toy is compatible with the device both of you are using. If it's not, it could create some technical difficulties.

Check that internet connection! A bad internet connection could cause the remote sex toy to malfunction or cause delays in communication between you and your partner. Following these tips, you can use remote sex toys during FaceTime sex without any problems.

Have Fun!

Remember, the whole point of using sex toys is to have fun and add excitement to your FaceTime sex life. Go experiment, try new things, and most importantly, enjoy yourselves!

That's a Wrap!
