Sex advice: I just play along with sexts when I’m busy

My boyfriend and I spend time apart because he works abroad. He wants us to keep our intimacy while away, so he sends intimate text messages. 

Sometimes he sends them when it’s inconvenient so I carry on what I’m doing and play along. I don’t want to crush him by rejecting him, but I feel guilty pretending to be all sexy when I am actually loading the dishwasher.

Don’t feel bad about multitasking while you sext. Everyone does it. A large proportion of the people standing at bus stops in the rain are tapping teasing words into their mobiles. Your boyfriend surely knows that everyday life interferes with your response to sexual provocation. After all, if he wanted to confirm that you really were naked in a bubble bath rather than, say, in Marigolds at the sink, he would use FaceTime.
