How To Be Intimate In A Long Distance Relationship

Figuring out how to be intimate in a long distance relationship is important to keeping the romance alive. It’s no secret that long distance relationships are difficult to make work, especially keeping the intimacy intact. Seeing your special someone only once in awhile puts a strain on the relationship. However, there are ways to avoid this and in the process add a little spice.

1. The phone is a powerful tool. One essential element to staying intimate in a long distance relationship is communication.  A daily fifteen minute call will let your sweetie know you are thinking of her. Don’t be afraid to tell her exactly what you’re thinking either. A naughty word or two can go a long way in setting the anticipation of seeing you again. However, don’t only focus on the sexual relationship. Intimacy is a two way street, the physical and the emotional. She also wants to know you miss her, and feel she is  a part of your life even though miles separate you. Let her know about your day, what you have planned, all the good and the bad.
2. "A picture is worth a thousand words" isn’t an exaggerated. The tone of exactly how you feel is captured with one snap of the lens. Pictures can keep both sides of intimacy humming. Something as simple as a picture of her favorite flower will set her heart racing. And for you? Imagine a piece of lace meant for only your eyes. Sent via text, email or mail, pictures are a great way to keep you at the forefront of your partner’s mind.
3. Nothing says “I miss you” better than planning the next time you’ll see each other. If romance is what you have in mind, then discussing the location and what you’ll do will keep that intimate bond.  If both of you would rather forgo the romance, then don’t hesitate in planning your next sexual escapade in the bedroom. This will have you both anticipating your reunion.

While being intimate in a long distance relationship is hard, it’s not impossible. Make sure to focus on both parts. A true intimate relationship includes both the emotional and the sexual side.
