Summarize this article in one sentence.
While it's true that, as with any other kind of sex, phone sex can "just happen", the session is more likely to go well if you've planned ahead, especially if it's your first time doing it together.  Pick a time when you're both alone and free to let your inhibitions loose. Your plan won’t work if you're rolling around in bed, feeling hot and heavy, while your partner is shivering in the rain outside the library. If your partner is new to phone sex or feeling unsure, consider sending them this article, or reading it together. Don't forget that you can always discuss what you'd like to do during phone sex before you start. It will be difficult for you to enjoy yourselves if you feel tense or silly, so before you call, do whatever you need to do to get yourself comfortable and feeling sexy.   Let loose: Lie in bed for a while, browse the internet, have a glass of wine, jog on the spot, do a silly song and dance in front of the mirror -- anything that will allow you to release the tension from your body.  Get in the mood: Setting up a sexy atmosphere can help put you in the right frame of mind, so consider doing whatever you'd do to prepare for any other kind of sex. Here are some ideas:  Tidy up your room and make the bed Dim the lights, perhaps set up some candles Play soft music Have a bath or shower (and a shave, if you like) Think of a role play to spice up the call (you two skinny dipping, etc.) Put on (or take off!) your favorite, sexiest clothes and underwear Set out some sex toys Turn yourself on by gently caressing your body, or thinking about your lover, or imagining sexual encounters you've had or would like to have... but don't let yourself get too turned on just yet -- that's what the phone call is for!
Set up a phone date. Let loose and get in the mood.
