Having a long-distance relationship is hard.
And anyone who has experienced it can tell you first-hand.
Many people are not strong enough to make it work, and most of them end up in pieces.
Despite the challenge, dating apps like OkCupid have data that says 45% of men and 46% of women are open to being in a long-distance relationship.
Contrary to popular belief, the chances of making a long-distance relationship work are higher than you thought.
With a 60% success rate according to research. However, some of the challenges are longing for sex and
intimacy with your partner.
So how do you maintain the sexual tension when you are in a long-distance relationship?
Use technology to your advantage
You might not be able to do the deed in person, but using your phones to sext, text flirty messages, or send nude photos may just do the trick.
Talk about your sex life and long for the next time
Talking about your sexual encounters will make you miss each other even more.
You can also plan your intimate moments to get you both excited for your next meeting.
Try dirty talk
Not everyone is gifted with being good at dirty talk, and sometimes it just feels awkward.
However, it can help you fantasize about each other and make you long for future sexual encounters.
It will keep the sexual tension intact, despite being miles apart.
Masturbation
Talking or video calling is an excellent way to do the deed virtually.
It might not be ideal, but it is the best way to get intimate even if you and your partner are not together.
You can try sex toys and role-playing. Sex is not just about intercourse, but it can be done separately but at the same time to simulate real intimacy.
