Love it or hate it, sexting is here to stay. A part of modern sex culture, lots of people get off on sending hot texts and nudes to one another. But not everyone is getting in on it: some people just don’t fancy it, which is totally valid, whereas others just don’t know where to start, which is *also* totally valid.

If you’re a sexting newbie and want some tips, we’ve already written a pretty thorough guide on how to sext. But for anyone that’s more of a “learn through doing” kind of person, you might be looking for some inspiration to get you started. Or maybe you're a seasoned sexter, but want to show your sexy pen pal some ideas to help them step up their game. Whatever the story, we’ve got you covered.

Heading over to Reddit, where women have shared some of the filthiest sexts they’ve ever received, we’ve rounded up some sext examples that will blow your socks off. But before we let you loose on all this NSFW goodness, just remember the sexting golden rule: ask for consent before sending any saucy sexts, images, voicenotes or videos. Every. Single. Time.

1. "Watching your tits bounce is going to be spectacular"

"'The thought of us at a bar with our friends, acting normal, with my cum leaking out of you makes my cock hard', 'Your mouth, hands, tits, or pussy needs to be wrapped around my cock!', 'Watching your tits bounce while you are riding my cock is going to be spectacular.' Sigh, that is a small sample from a guy who I thought had promise. Dang it, wish we could have made any of these things happen!" [via]

    2."I know what your body needs"

        "Here's [sexts] that I've received recently that had me like 'wow'...'Just listening to the sound of your fingers sliding inside of you is enough for me', 'I can't wait to be inside of you again', 'I know what your body needs' [via]

        3. "I don't watch porn anymore"

        "My bf sent me a text out of the blue that said, 'I don't watch porn anymore, I have no desire to look at other women anymore because of you. You're my porn star, baby.'" [via]

        Everyone's clicking on...

        4. "We didn't fuck, we made love"

        "Well I wouldn't do this with a new girl, but after hooking up with a friend for a while, he sent, 'So I'm just gonna come out and say it...we didn't fuck, we made love and dammit, I've never felt anything like that in my life.' That text was years ago and I still remember it. Amazing." [via]

        5. "I'm going to explode"

        "A guy and I had been semi text flirting all day in our long distance relationship. After a pause of silence he sent something like this, 'ugh, if I have to go in to another meeting with a raging hard on because of you, I'm going to explode.' It was just, really cute. I wasn't trying to be super sexy but even vaguely sexy things can be uncontrollably sexy in long distance." [via]

        6. "He said it gets him off better than any porno"

        "I freaking love when a guy I've been chatting with tells me he just got off to a video I sent him ages ago. I just got one of those, out of the blue. He said it gets him off better than any porno, and that is flattering as hell." [via]

        7. "I know what you want"

        My partner/lover knows exactly how to turn me on. My all-time favourite was last autumn. 'I know what you want and I will give it to you'" [via]

        8. "It's like being shown a Christmas present that you can't have now"

        "I've gotten so many good ones that I couldn't pick a favourite, but here's the best one I've gotten recently, after I sent my sweetie some nudes. 'You look so beautiful.. Fuck. It's like being shown a Christmas present that you can't have now.'" [via]
