FACETIME SEX DURING QUARANTINE: Is It for You?

Dating during quarantine is an entirely new ball game. For most of us, we’re used to chatting for a couple of days (or weeks) and then meeting up for a first date. That’s not the case while we practice social distancing—we’re now forced to spend time truly getting to know someone, whether it’s through long phone calls or Zoom/virtual dates. Slowing down before we meet someone is not necessarily a bad thing. While these tactics are all regarding to new flings and love interests, what about the ex-hookups who are still lingering in our life and are now circling back while everyone is bored and craving attention in the bedroom?

Do we give in to the digital sex? Our best friend ” heartbreak coach ” would most likely say no and to stand our ground (rightfully so), but today we’re offering a different view and siding with the motto of doing what makes us feel good at the moment. There’s enough negativity in the world right now, so if a little FaceTime sex lifts the spirit and releases sexual tension, go for it—we’re all for being easy on ourselves during this challenging time.

Below we’re exploring the world of FaceTime sex and why you shouldn’t be ashamed to partake in the fun (if it interests you)—even if it’s with an old flame who has found a way back into your text messages.

First and foremost, it’s not for everyone—only participate if you feel completely comfortable and trust the person.

Bottom line: we’re all going stir crazy and insanely horny. If you’ve never had FaceTime sex pre-quarantine but are on a dry streak and looking for some steamy action, now could be the time to explore. Here are some pointers to keep in mind.

1. Set the mood: lighting is everything. Turn on a dim lamp or light a candle by your bedside. You can even take it to the next level and buy a ring light to enhance the digital night.

2. Wear your favorite lingerie set: this is optional obviously, but that said, it’s always nice to put on something that makes you feel super confident.

3. Loosen up: don’t think too much into it. Let your body and voice go with the flow. It can be awkward at first, but once you get in the groove, you’ll be on your way to the big O.

4. Use toys and lube: put your vibrator to good use and let your partner watch you play with it. Or for a more PG version, you can just describe what you’re doing with the device if you’re not comfortable giving a visual. You might be thinking, “But what if he/she screenshots during the experience?” If you both are truly giving it your all, your hands and mind are pretty tied up, and it’d be difficult to capture a screenshot. Be smart about it though.

5. Get vocal: express what you want to see or what you wish your partner was doing to you if you were together. Above all, make it playful and have fun with the virtual edition of having sex.

FASHION NOVA: JEANS TO ACCENTUATE YOUR WAIST

When you take a photo, it’s all about knowing your angles—chin down, back arched, whatever works for you, right? The same mindset applies when you’re dressing for your body. Knowing the silhouettes that flatter your frame makes it that much easier when deciding what to wear. If you’re going for an outfit that accentuates your waist, it all starts with a great pair of high-rise jeans. A simple tip, I know, but part of feeling your best and loving your body starts with being confident and comfortable in your clothing—no matter your personal style or shape.

The beauty of high-rise jeans is the silhouette snatches at the smallest part of your waist and elongates your legs, lending the illusion of longer stems. Oldest trick in the book, but for good reason—because it works. Shop my picks for high-rise jeans below.

I am not a jeans type of person at all. I have only 4 pairs of jeans which are for work. I work in retail and for my job, we can only wear khakis or jeans. But, with Fashion Nova on deck, I might just have to reconsider. The jeans I purchased are comfortable, fitted, stylish, and do the booty justice. Fashion Nova is having a sale on their entire website. USE CODE: STAYHOME to get 30-80% OFF EVERYTHING!

FASHION NOVA: DRESSING FOR YOUR BODY

I always say that dressing is about knowing your own recipe. Everyone has a different body shape, and once you learn how to accentuate the right curves, you can really start to shop and dress in ways that you know are flattering. This doesn’t mean you need to repeat the same styles, but to accentuate the right fit.

Below I’m sharing some of my foolproof tricks:

If you want to accentuate your chest, my opinion of the classiest way is a deep U-shape scoop neckline. The obvious is a plunging V-neck, but a deep scoop feels like an innocently fashionable way to reveal some plump cleavage.

If you want to accentuate your waist, you want to build above and below it. If you are curvy, a tight tailored body-con dress will show off your hourglass shape. But if you’re looking for everyday separates, it’s best to wear jeans or trousers that are high-waisted, just to your waistline, and a top that meets at that same point. The contrast in the fabrics will meet at the small of your waist and show off your figure.

If you want to accentuate your legs, it’s always best to wear something high-waisted. By extending the length of the pant, it will give the illusion of an even longer leg. It can be a loose fit or tight, you just want them to be long. Also, if you are doing shorts or skirts, this is the time for minis.

POSTS YOU’LL LOVE

If you want to accentuate your hips, it’s important that the line is continuous around them. A mini skirt will just look like a wide block, whereas the best for this illusion is to extend the line above and below your hips. A longer length body-con skirt, dress, or high-waist fitted jeans will help create an hourglass around your curves, because it draws it in above to your small waist, and below to your knees, showing off the natural hip curves.

If you want to accentuate your butt, style yourself in looks that emphasize your waist and your legs. This means that the smaller your waist looks, the bigger your rear will look. It is also important that the fabric comes in under your butt, so a wide leg pant won’t be the best option. Instead, think pencil skirts, fitted jeans, and body-hugging fabrics.

If you want to accentuate your arms, I like a tank top or shirt that scoops lower under the armpit. If you have incredibly fit arms, you’re able to wear something that is high neck and sleeveless. But for most of us, we want to give the illusion of slender arms, so you want to let the arm look like it’s purposefully exposed and floating, and not just left to blow in the wind. This means something with a low-cut armpit or exposing more of the collarbone and chest so that there is more glowy skin to look at than just the arm.
