Sending a sexy photo, if it’s done right, can really spice up your relationship and get you both worked up and excited for your next encounter. There’s no need to completely strip off – be suggestive instead by sucking on a lollipop or sending a picture of your new Lace Chemise (€22.96, kinky.ie). For those of you who aren’t 100% comfortable and confident with sexy snapshots; props, blankets, and filters can be used to cover, crop and change the bits you’re unhappy with. Show as much or as little as you like, just remember to keep it light-hearted and fun!
It Starts With Trust
Are you 100% sure that you trust your partner? Are they the type that might show their friends your sexy pics? Accidentally leave their phone on a table for others to find? Or even worse, upload them online if you go through a bad break up?
This may all sound over the top, but if there’s even a shadow of doubt in your mind, you may want to consider ways of sending sexy but safe pictures that can get your partner worked up, but will still protect your image. The easiest way of doing this is by sending a picture that doesn’t include your face. If you’re already nervous, you’ll relax more knowing that no one who accidentally stumbles across these pictures will know it’s you.
A Tripod Is Your Friend
If you want to send more than just a few snaps from your phone, then a tripod is definitely the way to go. Use it to photograph yourself when you’re alone – giving you time to practice poses and trying out new props and accessories. If you decide to take pictures with a camera, turn it into a surprise present for your partner; email it to them after they leave for a business trip, leave it on the fridge with a promise of things to come when you return home…it’s all about keep it fun and flirty.
If you’re really looking to spice things up; a tripod also comes in handy when you decide to take pictures of, or film, yourselves together. That said, you could also experiment with exhibitionism and voyeurism by passing the camera back and forth and taking sexy pictures of each other. Play with different ideas and see what works for you both.
Variety Is Key
Everyone has a certain pose that they like to do in pictures, but remember to keep the images fresh or it’ll quickly lose its sexiness and fun. For example, do a strip tease. Send your partner a series of shots throughout the day with one piece of clothing being removed in each one. Also, don’t feel like you have to pose in each shot. Sometimes the best pictures are the action shots – when you’re in the middle of undressing or giggling – not just pouts and posing. Again, it’s all about experimenting and seeing what you’re comfortable of doing in front of the camera.
Make Yourself Feel Sexy
What’s the point of sending a picture if you’re not enjoying it? Wear what makes you feel good – your favourite underwear, Kitten Long Black Gloves (€22.96, kinky.ie), a silk blouse, a sexy Maid’s Uniform (€22.91, kinky.ie) – and it’ll show through in your pictures. Also choose lighting that will compliment you. Avoid harsh, overhead lighting that’ll highlight any imperfections. You should also avoid using a flash that lights up the whole room. Instead, opt for ambient lighting, candles, or natural light. If you are taking a picture with minimal lighting, you’ll have to hold the camera very still to avoid the picture being too blurry – it’s definitely worth the hassle though! Happy snapping!
