Best apps for sexting: How to keep things steamy and safe this cuffing season
Sexting apps can be fun and low-risk if you do it right. Check out our list of the best sexting apps for intimate conversations and more explicit connections, updated for December 2023.
Whether you're not quite ready to re-enter the dating scene, find yourself in a long-distance relationship, or want to spice up your solo sex toy sessions, mastering the act (art?) of sexting could be the key to a more fulfilling physical and emotional experience.
Once viewed as taboo, sexting is now definitively mainstream. According to a 2023 survey of U.S. adults by the market research platform Statista, 77 percent of participants said they've sent at least one sext — that's up from 45 percent in 2019 and just 14 percent about 10 years ago.
Sexting's recent surge in popularity is due at least in part to the pandemic, which gave rise to a new era of digital dating. But it also helps that there are now a number of apps that make sexting easy and safer than standard SMS messages.
