DO:

Make sure you’re alone.
If you’re not comfortable with the idea of your roommate walking in while you’re in the throes of passion, make sure you have the place to yourself. This may limit your opportunities, but trust me, you won’t regret it.

Practice your sexiest voice.
And when you do get some alone time, take advantage of it. Play around with your voice until you get that raspy, sexy kind sound that guys dream about. Even if you feel silly, practice makes perfect.

Dress for the occasion.
The whole point of Skype is for the visual stimulation, so why not kick it up a notch? Don your sexiest apparel to get yourself in the mood. If you think Victoria’s Secret is a little pricey, check out their semi-annual sale this month. H&M and Forever 21 also carry affordable lingerie.

Be comfortable with yourself.
Skype sex won’t be any fun if you’re constantly worrying about how your stomach or arms look on camera. Do whatever you need to to boost your self-confidence beforehand so you can just enjoy and be in the moment. Anyone you’re comfortable enough to have Skype sex with knows and loves your body the way it is.

Speak up.
Other than physical distance, one of the biggest differences between Skype or phone sex and actually hooking up is that it forces you to be more vocal. If it helps, come up with a few phrases beforehand that you can use if you get stuck.

BUT…

Don’t do it with someone you don’t know very well or don’t know if you can trust.
You’ll never know if he’s recording what’s on his screen or if he has you on speakerphone with all his friends.

Don’t include sending racy photos of yourself as part of the foreplay.
For the same reason you don’t want someone to have a video of you, a photo can be very dangerous. If things go badly, he may post it online or show a lot of people out of spite. Just don’t do it and you’ll avoid this uncomfortable situation that could damage your reputation.
