(Making) love at a distance

Nowadays, it is common to start or continue a relationship while being far from each other. If (making) love at a distance is not for all couples, some find it completely suitable. Want to know how? We explain their secrets:

How to communicate?

Calls, video calls, messages, photos... The possibilities are endless to maintain and ignite the flame. Choose the one that seems the most natural and suitable for your relationship. Because every couple is different, some will prefer to see and hear each other, and others will prefer to write long love letters (hot or not by the way). If you too have the handwriting of a 7-year-old, you can also exchange via emails... You get the idea, the key is to personalize and adapt your communication tools according to your personality and desires.

How to connect with the other?

If exchanging messages 24/7 bores you, know that there are other ways to connect with the other: watching a movie at the same time, listening to the latest track of your favorite artist simultaneously, or even playing together. Games help maintain complicity, and can even provoke excitement in some partners. You could, for example, invent your own game (hot or not, once again). You can also get a toy specially made for having fun at a distance, we have some suggestions for you 👇

No pressure

You may also prefer sexual relationships in real life. In which case, by waiting, you will only increase the desire before your reunion, and that's great too! You should not put pressure on yourself about this. Sharing your emotions, fears, needs, and desires is much more important than the sexual act itself. There is no obligation to engage in distance sex if you are not comfortable with the concept. The essential thing in long-distance love is to maintain your complicity and trust in each other.

Trust and communication

Trust is a pillar of love, and even more so when you love from a distance. Do you have doubts? Talk directly to the other person. When there is a misunderstanding or something left unsaid in real life, seeing each other can quickly ease things. But in a long-distance relationship, you need to be extra clear in your exchanges. By maintaining a regular flow of communication with the other, you will know how to manage the effects of a misunderstanding or a rumor that can sometimes be destructive for the couple.

And if we concluded with a little cheesy phrase as we like them: "Love knows no boundaries." More seriously, if you believe in your relationship and make efforts to keep it simple and healthy, there is no reason it shouldn't work! Don't you agree?
