My husband is also in the military. I see him a lot more now but for awhile we had to spend a lot of time a part. He was always a little funny about things like emailing dirty talk because sometimes the email was monitored. When we did get phone call time he was always around people and he said it would just make it harder for the both of us to talk about how bad we "missed" each other. This always made for very exciting homecomings as you can imagine.

Maybe you can mail him dirty little letters. Letters are always so thoughtful but I also think it takes a lot of imagination to come up with a sexy story. You said already that you don't feel comfortable with your body so pictures may be out of the question. But unlike webcam you can take a ton of pictures and pick which ones you might feel you look better in or you can wear some cute lingerie that may make you feel better about your body. Neither of these are probably very helpful but there is only so much that you can do in this type of situation.

Goodluck with the deployment! less
