All You Need To Know About Virtual Sex In The Middle Of A Pandemic

 

It won’t be far-fetched to say that this is the riskiest time in our lifetimes to have sex. A few moments of pleasure could potentially invite a horde of fatal pathogens in the form of Covid-19 virus. But hey, that doesn’t mean you stop having sex, or feeling horny; you just do it a little differently. Maybe it’s time to explore the virtual sex pond. Don’t know much about it? Well, most people don’t. But this article would be a really good place to start.

 

 

What Is Virtual Sex?

 

When you think virtual sex, you think of phone sex or video sex. But it’s actually much more than that. Anything that requires your wi-fi or 4G to work, or involves the use of a device connected to any type of communication technology, can be classified as virtual sex. So sexting, dirty DMing, VR porn, etc. all fall under the blanket of virtual sex. And to be honest, that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

 

 

Why Virtual Sex?

 

There is no dearth of reasons to try virtual sex, but let’s start with the most obvious one - It’s the safest form of sex (from the health perspective) in the middle of a pandemic! Virtual sex doesn’t involve any physical contact with the person(s) you engage in the act with. So you eliminate the possibility of contracting the Coronavirus that is now a major risk factor in in-person sex. Also, you keep STDs at bay. So that’s a nice little perk right there.

 

Virtual sex gives you the best of both worlds - partnered sex and masturbation. You enjoy the intimacy of sexually engaging with another person while satisfying yourself by masturbating. As long as you have a partner and an electronic device, you can pretty much let your imagination run wild! In fact, people already are doing that; digital sex parties are now becoming increasingly common. You can also experiment with all kinds of sex toys India on video calls to take the fun up a notch.

 

Virtual sex is extremely convenient. You don’t need to restrict it to the pandemic era only. You can have virtual sex with a person thousands of miles away, sitting (if you prefer it that way) in 2 different countries and have the time of your lives. Although, that prospect may seem far less exciting if Elon Musk somehow manages to colonize Mars and then you can have virtual sex with a person on Mars while you are stuck in Bangalore traffic, but let’s keep that subject for another day.

 

 

4 Tips For Safe & Sensual Virtual Sex

 

Even with all the pros of virtual sex, there is always an element of risk attached to it that makes people wary of it. And we believe that is totally justified. However, there are certain things you could do to make it safer and more fun. Here are 3 tips for that.

 

 

1. Set Boundaries Before You Get Into The Act

 

Just as is the case with in-person sex, it is crucial that you set rules, agree on terms of consent, and choose safe words with your virtual sex partner(s).

 

First things first, you must determine your own comfort level. Do you trust your partner? To what extent? Are you comfortable sending raunchy photos and videos? Would you be willing to take the risk of your texts or photos being leaked? What is the risk/reward of this act? When and how do you want to engage in virtual sex? Ideally, you and your partner should assess these questions independently. They will help you ascertain your comfort level and determine boundaries. Thereafter, you can discuss them together and list the dos and don’ts that you mutually agree upon.

  

2. Protect your privacy

 

Internet safety is a major concern with virtual sex. So if you’re meeting someone new, or if you don’t trust that person enough, you’ll always be worried about your private photos, videos, or texts getting leaked. However, you can try the following tips to minimise the risk of your content being revealed:

 

• Be mindful and vigilant about the type of content you share
• Obscure your face. Consider wearing a sexy mask
• Make sure that your photos/videos don’t contain identifying marks like tattoos
• Only take body shots of specific angles or parts.
• Absolute nudity could be avoided. Try implied nudity without going into explicit detail.
• Don’t use your primary email or phone number. Create a different email id and get a new number just for this purpose. Don’t share these new contacts with anyone except your partner

 

 

3. Get Creative!

 

If you and your partner consent to these means of virtual sex, surprise each other with flirtatious sexts or raunchy photos throughout the day. This will help build up anticipation for your steamy digital sesh. You can try saying things like…          

 

• Do you want to hear a fantasy of mine?
• I have been thinking about your (physical attribute). And honestly, it just has me super distracted at work
• I can’t wait for you to do ____________ to me tonight.

 

Be descriptive with these sexts and let your partner know what exactly you want or what makes you really excited about your virtual sex session. The more detail, the better!

 

 

4. Sex Toys Are Your Best Friends!

 

Indian sex toys make virtual sex more fun and exciting than anything else. So don’t hold back on them. Sex vibrators, fleshlight, anything works as long as it works for you. If you don’t own them, then now would be a good time to buy sex toys online.

 

Set the mood. Turn on some ambient lighting. Make a sexy playlist. Use props if you want to. Lingerie, candles, chocolates, whatever makes you feel good. And then put those sex toys to work for a mindblowing night of virtual sex.

 

 

Final Thoughts

 

Virtual sex may not be as satisfying as doing it in person, but it’s the best and safest option to enjoy sex with a partner, bang in the middle of a pandemic. At the very least, it is far more satisfying than lying alone in your bed, putting your palm or fingers to work every night. So as long as you are comfortable with it, and have all safety precautions in place, explore this option to spice up your sex life. Have fun!
