my bf and i are away on break and snapping constantly. i really want to tell him what i actually like doing when i’m on my own so we can try it when we’re back together ✨ but how do i bring that up without sounding totally weird or pushy out of nowhere?

You bring it up by framing it as a shared secret rather than an unprompted instruction manual, and texting actually makes this much easier. When you two are already chatting late at night and the vibe is sweet, you can drop a simple line: "I’ve been thinking about us, and there are actually a few things I figured out on my own that I want to show you when I get back." That instantly sets the tone as playful curiosity, not an awkward critique of your past sex life. Most partners feel hugely relieved when you give them clues. Guessing what someone likes is stressful, and knowing how you touch yourself takes the guesswork away. Keep the door open for him, too—ask him if there's anything he likes doing solo that you two haven't explored yet. That turns a potentially vulnerable confession into a two-way conversation. You don’t have to lay out every detail at once. One small hint is enough to start the spark.
