Long-distance relationships take a lot of hard work to manage – but when you truly love someone, it’s entirely worth it.
Sure, the physical intimacy you share with your partner might be on hold, but that doesn’t mean the spark has to fizzle out entirely.
In this blog post we’re going to share some handy tips to keep the passion burning brightly, even from the other side of the world…
Communication is Everything
First and foremost, communication should be your number 1 priority. Keeping an open line of communication with your partner will help you both stay in tune with one another:
- Schedule regular video calls: Seeing each other face-to-face, even virtually, makes a huge difference. Schedule regular video dates where you can unwind, chat, and just enjoy each other’s company. Pro tip: Light some candles, put on some music, and create a romantic atmosphere to set the mood.
- Don’t just chat about the everyday: While catching up on life’s minutiae is important, make sure you delve deeper too. Share your hopes, dreams, and fantasies with each other. Talk about what you miss about each other physically and emotionally. Vulnerability builds intimacy, even from afar.
- Spice things up with sexting: Don’t underestimate the power of a well-placed naughty text or photo. Tease each other a little, describe what you’d do to each other if you were together, and build anticipation for your next reunion.
Embrace Technology
The ever-evolving world of technology has worked wonders for those in long-distance relationships.
There are many, many innovative tools that you can turn to in order to remain close to your partner:
- Explore couple’s apps: There are a plethora of apps designed to keep long-distance couples connected. From games that let you explore intimacy virtually, to apps that send flirty messages at random times, these tools can add a playful element to your relationship.
- Get creative with video calls: Don’t just stare at each other’s faces the whole time. Watch a movie together using streaming services that allow synchronised playback, cook a meal together virtually, or even take a virtual tour of a place you both want to visit together.
Solo Play Can Keep You Connected (Too!)
Sometimes you just need some “me time.” Adult stores can be a great resource for high-quality masturbators designed specifically for men (masturbateur homme in French).
These can help you maintain a healthy sexual routine and feel satisfied, even when your partner is far away from you:
Here are some things to consider when choosing a masturbator:
- Material: Opt for body-safe materials like silicone or medical-grade plastic for a comfortable and hygienic experience.
- Features: Explore options with different textures, vibration patterns, or heating functions to find what feels great for you.
- Discreet Packaging: Most adult stores offer discreet packaging and shipping, so you can keep your purchases private.
Remember: Using a masturbator is a perfectly healthy way to explore your sexuality and relieve sexual tension, especially during periods of separation.
The Bottom Line
Long-distance relationships require a great deal of effort to work, but with a little creativity and open communication, you can keep the flames of passion burning brightly for many months of separation.
Remember, feeling connected and satisfied goes a long way. So, schedule those video calls, send some naughty texts, and explore the world of adult stores (wink wink) if needed.
With a little help from technology and a healthy dose of self-care, you and your partner can weather any long-distance storm.
