Surviving a Long Distance Relationship

Maintaining a healthy sex life with your partner when you live apart can definitely be difficult. Long distance relationships happen for a number of different reasons, and whether it is work, study, family commitments or something else that is keeping you apart from your one and only, it has been said that absence only makes the heart grow fonder. But, how can you keep your relationship alive when you can’t see or touch one another? We’ve listed some of the top pieces of advice given by various sex experts.

Web chat

Most “sexperts” agree that saucy web chat and phone sex is key to keeping the spark alive when you live miles apart. Getting dressed up in saucy lingerie or allowing them to watch as you touch yourself on camera may seem a little daunting at first, but when you set the scene properly, with good lighting and the right kind of clothing, you will certainly enjoy it. Video chatting on arousr.com is the next best thing to being with your loved one in person, so you should try to do it as much as possible throughout your time apart.

Before you leave

If you are about to enter into a long distance relationship, and one of you is going to be leaving soon to live elsewhere for a while, a top psychotherapist and relationship expert recommends getting prepared before setting off. If you are the one who is leaving, planting some notes around the house with messages for them to find once you are gone can be both romantic and also get very steamy.

Call daily

Finding the time to call each when you have a busy schedule can be difficult, but in order to keep the relationship exciting, it is essential that you stay in touch. Scheduling a daily phone call when you are both resting and can clear your schedule for a while is the best way to maintain good communication throughout your relationship and keep things interesting in the bedroom. Calling at bedtime, before you fall asleep, can be great if you want to get a bit naughty on the phone.

Text messages

Although you probably make sure to text one another daily to say good morning, ask them how their day has been and so on, using text messages to spice things up can be very effective when you don’t see each other often. Sending text messages detailing exactly what you would like to do to them when you see them can be a fun way of turning them on even from hundreds or thousands of miles away and can lead to some naughty conversations. Sexting can not only be a great way to turn each other on, but you will also learn to communicate better about what you want in the bedroom and learn how to satisfy each other even more.

Long distance can be tough when it comes to intimacy, but there are plenty of ways to excite each other, no matter how far apart you are.
