With the advent of sexting and online camera-based communications, plain old phone sex isn’t a frequent addition to a person’s sex life. But just as nostalgia and retro style make everything old new again, phone sex should be ready for a bit of a comeback now. And why not? It’s fun, it requires imagination and it helps a man attend to proper penis care when his partner isn’t physically in the same space.

Let the imagination roam free.

Unlike when one is behaving sexually with another person via a camera-based service such as Skype, engaging in sex over the phone requires both imagination and effort. That’s not to say that Skyping is effortless; many a man works up a considerable sweat while masturbating feverishly to the transmission of visible flesh and body parts over an erotic Skype call.

But having sex on the phone requires a different effort - also a bit of coordination. A guy has to be good at holding the phone in one hand and stroking his equipment with the other - and without getting them mixed up.

More importantly, he has to be able to let his imagination and his brain come up with words to make the phone sex experience enjoyable, and hopefully memorable.

Make a story

True, there can be phone sex calls that consist of little more than moaning and cries of "Oh, man!" or "Yeah, do it!" that achieve the goal of bringing forth a release from both parties. But often, a little more is required. The participants can create some sort of storyline and use words more descriptive than "You’re so sexy" repeated over and over.

The storyline that a couple develops doesn’t have to be complicated, and it doesn’t have to be false, either. Indeed, one of the most effective ways of making this story is by simply stating some facts and asking some questions. Something like, "I’m sitting here naked with a raging erection. I miss you and wish you could be next to me," is an excellent way to start a story and see where it goes.

But a couple can also decide to get into some fantasy role playing to enliven their sex life. They may decide on a scenario beforehand, or it could be totally improvised. Perhaps when his partner answers, the man on the other end of the line might start off with, "This is the Metropolitan Police, ma’am, and we understand that you’ve been a very naughty girl lately," or, "Hello, is this the lady across the street? The postman delivered a package of whips and handcuffs here by mistake."

Where the conversation goes from there is anyone’s guess.

Use your words.

When a couple really gets into the sex part of phone sex, dialogue can become repetitive and may consist of a lot of moans of pleasure. Leading up to that, however, it’s good to try to be as descriptive as possible and to come up with new ways of saying things. For example, when describing his erection, a man should move beyond just "huge" and try "massive," "awe-inspiring," "staggering," "painful," "agonizingly lusty" and any other words that paint a clearer picture. When wondering about a woman’s breasts, picture them as not just "amazing" but as "luscious," "mouth-watering," "scandalous," "overflowing," "knee-weakening" and so forth.

Keeping a couple’s sex life fresh takes commitment, and engaging in phone sex is a marvelous way to switch things up a bit. Naturally, a man wants to have his tool in good shape for a marathon session, so he should regularly use a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Since he wants to get the most sensation out of his telephone encounter, he should use a crème with neuroprotective acetyl L-carnitine, which helps to restore sensation to the manhood. A good crème will also include vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and penile firmness. The right crème helps keep any penis in better health.
