Intimacy Tips for Long Distance Relationships

Gone are the days where the phrase ‘out of sight, out of mind’ rang true. We live in a digital age where we’re more likely to connect with someone across the globe instead of our next-door neighbors. Even though there are many disadvantages to this as well, we’d like to focus on the benefits of using tools, tips, and tricks for connecting with your long-distance partner. 

Schedule Date Nights

A great way to keep the romance alive is by scheduling regular date nights with your partner. This could mean getting the same take-out and creating a romantic setting for your Skype of Video Call session. It’s about experiencing the same sensations, listening to the same music, eating the same food or even watching a movie at the same time. 

Booking out this time for you as a couple is important and both parties should add this to their schedule. Don’t make up excuses or make plans with other people on these date-days or nights. For these dates, your partner comes first. 

Even though you won’t be able to see each other in person as often as you would like, creating these date nights will make you feel valued, excited and connected. Some couples might live together, but emotionally they are worlds apart because they aren’t putting in the effort. 

Send Gifts and Surprises

Increase the feelings of love and romance by sending each other special gifts. These could be items from ‘home’ that they might be missing, flower delivery, handwritten notes or whatever else has meaning within your relationship. Receiving a gift is always exciting, and this is a great reminder that your partner is thinking of you and taking time out to make sure that you feel special. Don’t be afraid to set the tone for some long-distance sex by sending your partner naughty or dirty gifts as well. 

Use the Tools

• Couple Apps

Since we live in a digital age, numerous couple apps can keep you connected. Some apps allow you to play games together or simplify the chatting process. If you want to watch a movie or show together, try Rabbit - the app allows you to sync what you’re streaming with your partner. LokLok is a really sweet and thoughtful way to leave notes on your partner’s lock screen. Don’t fret because you can’t leave sticky notes in their lunch boxes, get creative by leaving lock screen notes that will make them think of you every time they pick up their phone. 

• Tech Foreplay

There are numerous ways in which you can use technology to turn each other on. Try sending sexy gifs and suggestive messages and images throughout the day. This way, you’ll be on each other’s minds for sure. 

• Talking and Touching

Share intimate moments by masturbating together. This could be done over a video call or while chatting on the phone. You’ll be able to hear each other’s breathing, moans, and movement. It won’t only add to the steamy and sexiness of your relationship but improve communication as well.

• Sexy Selfies

Another way to set the tingling tone for later is by sharing sexy selfies. The type of content will depend on what makes you feel comfortable and safe. If you want to show some flesh, go for it - and if you’re on the shy side, there are many other types of suggestive poses you could consider. 

Do you have any tried and tested methods for creating intimacy with your long-distance partner that you’d like to share?
