When it comes to today's dating world, sexting has become a part of what many people are willing to do. The smartphone's role in dating culture has done a lot to change the dating game, and how people go about interacting with one another. Where sexting is concerned, it has certainly become a lot more common, but at the same time, there are still some folks who aren't particularly comfortable with engaging in it. There's nothing wrong with that, either. Sexting is definitely a big deal these days, but at the same time, that doesn't mean that everyone is, or has to be comfortable with it. Having said that, there are some ways that you can help your partner come out of their shell a bit, and open up more to the idea. How can you get your partner to engage in sexting with you more often? Well, you can actually do a lot of things, but the most important thing that you can probably do, is remember to do your best to keep things comfortable for them. The more comfortable they are, the more likely they are to becoming more willing to engage in time. There are a number of steps you can take to facilitate the process...

Being the first to initiate rather than pushing your partner to, is probably the best first step you can take. you can be the first to send a message, and you can see how they respond. If they seem excited and they have a positive initial response, then you can enjoy the fun and keep going with it. If they're apprehensive though, then you'll need to be the one to take the reigns a bit, and see if you can help to facilitate the sexting process. There's nothing wrong with that either. It can be intimidating to someone who hasn't done much sexting to get into it in the first place, so if you can be the one to take the pressure off by taking the first steps and taking the pressure off of your partner who may be a little bit more shy than you are, then by all means, go for it, and be the one to take the first steps.

Starting out on a more subtle level is a really good way to ease your partner into the idea of sexting. Sending nudes right away probably isn't going to be the way to go, and you're probably going to make them feel very uncomfortable. They may even feel like they are no obligated to send you a similar message, and if they're not comfortable with that idea, the whole think can be a major turn off for them. Going into the whole sexting thing with guns blazing isn't ever going to be the way to go, when it comes to having a partner who's less than comfortable with the idea. Start off with a bit of talking. Maybe a couple of sexy memes, lyrics, or words of your own. Nothing too crazy or over the top, just something that will get their attention, but not make them feel like they are being bombarded. See how they respond, and you can continue from there on whatever heading you end up on. If they don't end up responding, then you're probably going to need to take a more direct approach to addressing this with them. You're probably going to need to talk with them about it.

You will need to be open to talking about this with your partner if you want to try and get them interested in it, and if you want to try and understand where it is that they're coming from. There are a number of directions that this can go in, so be open to listening and getting to understand what your partner's feelings about this might be. Maybe they're just not interested. Maybe they don't feel it's appropriate. Maybe they've had bad experiences in the past, where personal messages had been shared with others. When things like that happen, it can really turn people off of ever wanting to sext again. When you've trusted someone with that kind of personal interaction once, and you got burned for it, it can be incredibly difficult to feel like you will ever want to trust someone with that kind of information again, and understandably so. It's very common for a lot of people to engage in sexting these days, but it's also incredibly common for people to share these interactions with others, and treat them with little importance. Not everyone feels that way about their private moments though, so if this has previously happened to your partner, then you should try and be understanding about that. Let them talk about it, and talk about it with them. If they seem open to the idea by the time you've made it through the conversation, then you can move forward.

Once you've got your partner to a point where they're willing to talk more about this, then you can start to be a bit more specific. Maybe you're just looking for a little bit of flirtation via text. Maybe you're looking for full blown sexting with details. Maybe you're looking for details that are accompanied by pics. Whatever the case is, you should be open with your partner about what it is that you're looking for, and be prepared to hear them out, once you've voiced what you're looking for. They're going to have feelings about this one way or another. They may be totally open to what you're looking for and they may not be open to it at all. The best thing you can do though, is to hear them out, and remain open on your end as well. A little understanding goes a long way, and the more open you are to understanding where they're coming from, the more likely they are to open themselves up to the idea of giving you what you're looking for from them. You can make it easier for you both, but keeping the topic relaxed.

Now that you've both expressed your thoughts on the idea of sexting, and you're both open to hearing each other out, now you can move things forward by making things comfortable for your partner, and making sure that they feel like they can think about this on their own terms, in their own time. The most important thing to do, is to be patient with your partner. Just because they're not prepared to jump in with two feet doesn't mean that they won't eventually be open to the idea, so by being patient with them, you can help to make things much more comfortable, and they're likely to end up being much more open to the idea.

Once you guys do get started with the sexting, it might be a little bit awkward at first, and that's to be expected. Not may people are sexting pros when they're first getting started out, so it's important that you show appreciation for your partner's effort by sending positive responses so that you can keep them feeling comfortable, and encourage them to continue participating. It can take a bit of time to become really confident with one's sexting capabilities, so a little bit of positivity and encouragement can really go a long way. The more that you seem to like it, the more your partner is likely to want to continue doing it. It might take a bit of time and that's totally fine. You'll get to a place that you can both be comfortable with eventually, and things can flow naturally from there. It's a process, though. Patience is key.

Seriously, don't push your partner any harder or further than they are ready to be pushed when it comes to sexting, or you run the risk of turning them off of the idea completely. Its great they're you're so up for things and if your partner is as well, even if it's slowly over time, then you're doing a great job. If you're continually being met with resistance, then you're probably pushing too hard and you should back off a bit. There's no reason to push anyone any further than they're ready to be pushed, because all you're going to end up doing is turning them off of the the ideal of sexting altogether. Move at their pace, and if you don't push, then you're much more likely to see them move a bit further and further outside of their comfort zone.

If your partner has indicated that they're cool with sending texts back and forth, but they're not so open to the idea of sending pictures, then do your best to be okay with that. At least they're making an effort to meet you halfway, and since they're doing that, you should do your best to respect their boundaries. Try to imagine being on the other side of the situation, and pushed into doing something that you're really not comfortable with. For example, if you've both agreed that it's cool to send sexy texts back and forth, don't send them nudes and hound them to do the same. At the end of the day, this really shouldn't be a deal breaker in any relationship. It's a bit of extra fun that you both may or may not choose to have together, so if there are boundaries set, respect them and don't push anyone further than they're ready to be pushed. The more laid back you are about it, the more fun the two of you are sure to have once you're both comfortable, and you've found your sexting groove.

In the end, sexting is meant to be fun. It's simply an extra bit of spice that and your partner can choose to add into your relationship, and why not? If you're both into it, you're sure to have a lot of fun! Remember to move at a pace that works for everyone and respect each other's boundaries. As long as things are hot in the bedroom, sexting isn't going to be any kind of a deal breaker in your relationship, so enjoy the fun that you do end up having with it, and always make sure the the most fun you're having together sexually, is in the bedroom. Keeping things hot in the bedroom will always keep the relationship going well, and it will help to make sure that the sexting stays hot, too!
