We’ve all been there: you’re sexting with someone you met on the internet, you’re starting to type one-handed, and all of a sudden your phone is changing every other word to “duck” or “guck” and “pushy” and “strap-one” and you can’t even swear about it because there’s a bad autocorrect for that, too! What’s a queer to do? Update your autocorrect dictionary!
If you use an iPhone, go to the Settings app. In the menus, go to General > Keyboard > Text Replacement and click the + to add new words. Then enter the word you want to add twice — once as the phrase and one as the shortcut. If you tend to mistype a certain way or want capitalization, add the lowercase or mistyped version to the shortcut field and the correct version to the phrase field, like I did with “BDSM”:
If you use an Android, the directions vary wildly, but you’re looking for the same type of setting: a way to edit the text your keyboard uses for automatic corrections and text replacement.
Once you’re in, check out these autocorrect fixes for better queer sexting. Note that I didn’t include every word from queer sex possible, just the ones autocorrect tries to “fix.” I also recommend adding the names of your favorite toys — both nJoy and VixSkin feature in my text replacement dictionary — and avoiding words you might need in non-sexual contexts. Got a suggestion I missed? Leave it in the comments!

I use SwiftKey keyboard on my Google Pixel 3 & after like 2-3 times of me clicking the word I want it starts to learn it & even sometimes mis-predict queer words. Thankfully, no real gaffs yet. Windows also does autocorrect fixing(which can be turned off), but it’s less aggressive & seems to recognize some cuss words.
I’m still just a touch envious of all you people who can think about sex in this pandemic without getting sad. But personally I’d rather just turn off autoincorrect.
