On the screen they slip slowly inside, visibly wet, then gather pace as her back arches and she begins to shudder.
It’s pleasurable but it’s not the most comfortable or easiest position in the world.
Why is she indulging in this piece of private pornography? She’s planning to send her erotic little video to her boyfriend, who is currently over 90 miles away. You’d think this solo effort would just make her more frustrated that he isn’t here, but that’s not the case at all.
She knows this video is going to get her partner so horny that he won’t be able to think straight, and sleep will be the last thing on his mind. Even though distance separates them, she imagines she can feel the heat of his arousal – she pictures his increasing erection as he presses a button and sees her touching herself in exactly the way that she knows he’s wishing he could be doing himself.

Common sense suggests that this isn’t the kind of stress one needs in a relationship that’s already compromised by mileage.
But for some, who are embracing both technology and also an opportunity to more easily say things that they might not otherwise dare to mention face-to-face, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
I personally find that when the inhibitions of up close and personal communication are removed – when we are allowed to reveal our inner yearnings and teasing with no fear of nerves, tell-tale facial expressions or, most importantly, perceived judgment – then anything might be said. And sometimes this can even open the door to myriad possibilities…
