So there I was, lying in bed at 11 PM, staring at my phone like it held the answers to life. My boyfriend was on a work trip, and I wanted to send something that would make him forget all about those boring conference calls. I started typing, deleted it, typed again, then panicked and sent a fire emoji with zero context. He replied with a question mark. Smooth, right?
Here’s the thing. Naughty texts are an art form. They can make him think about you all day, spark anticipation, and keep that chemistry alive whether you’re together or miles apart. But they need to hit that sweet spot between sexy and cringe. Too subtle and he’ll miss it. Too intense and you might scare him off (or worse, get a “haha cool” response).
This list gives you 73 messages that actually work. They’re bold, playful, and designed to stick in his brain. I’ve organized them by vibe so you can match the moment. Whether you’re building tension or going all in, these texts will have him checking his phone every five minutes.
Ready to make him forget his own name? Let’s dive in.

How to Know Which Message to Send
Match the message to your relationship stage. If you’re newly dating, stick to categories one through three. Save the explicit stuff for established relationships where you know his comfort level. Pay attention to how he responds to milder texts first.
Consider his personality. Is he playful or serious? Does he like directness or mystery? Tailor your approach. A guy who loves banter might prefer the cheeky texts, while someone more straightforward might appreciate the bold category.
Read the room. If you’ve been flirty all day, he’s probably ready for something spicier. If you haven’t talked much, start lighter. Context matters way more than the actual words.
Look at recent conversations for clues. If he’s been flirty back, match or escalate slightly. If he’s been distant, maybe wait for a better moment.
Timing Strategies That Actually Work
Send during his downtime. Lunch breaks, after work, or late evening when he can actually engage. Avoid morning rush hours or important meetings unless you want to distract him on purpose (which can be fun).
Build throughout the day. Start subtle in the morning, increase intensity by afternoon, and go bold by evening. This creates a natural progression that feels exciting rather than random.
Use weekends wisely. Saturday nights are prime time for steamier messages. Weekday evenings work too if you’re planning to see each other. Sunday afternoons can be surprisingly effective when everyone’s relaxed.
Pay attention to his response time. If he replies immediately, he’s engaged. If it takes hours, maybe dial it back or wait for a better moment. Never send multiple naughty texts without a response. That’s just awkward for everyone.
Consider time zones if long distance. You don’t want your spiciest text arriving at 3 AM his time unless that’s the plan.
What to Do When He Responds
Keep the energy going. If he’s into it, don’t suddenly get shy. Match his enthusiasm or raise it slightly. This isn’t the time to overthink.
If he sends back fire emojis, ask what he wants to do about it. Put the ball in his court sometimes. It shows confidence and keeps things balanced.
When he asks questions, be specific. “What are you wearing?” deserves a real answer, not “wouldn’t you like to know” for the third time. Actually engage.
If he seems confused, clarify without apologizing. You don’t need to say sorry for being sexual. Just explain what you meant if there’s genuine confusion.
Plan to follow through. Don’t promise things via text that you won’t deliver in person. That kills trust and makes future texts less effective.
Look, naughty texting isn’t about being someone you’re not. It’s about expressing desire in ways that feel good to you. These 73 messages are starting points. Adapt them. Make them yours. Add inside jokes. Reference specific things only you two know.
The best text is one that feels authentic. If something on this list makes you cringe, skip it. But if one makes you smile and think “oh he’d love that,” send it immediately before you overthink it.
Your guy is lucky. Most women don’t put this much thought into keeping things exciting. You’re about to make his entire week with a few well-placed messages.
Now stop reading and start typing. His phone is waiting.
