4 Ways to Keep Your Long-Distance Relationship Hot

You know how the saying goes: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. That’s great, but fondness isn’t all it takes to keep the flame alive between you and your long-distance partner. Sex is important, too, which can obviously be hard to come by when you two don’t live in the same city, or even the same state.

But your sex life is not all-or-nothing. In other words, just because you aren’t getting busy on a regular basis, that shouldn’t stop you from keeping things hot while you’re apart. Try out these long-distance relationship ideas that will keep things ridiculously hot, no matter how many miles separate you.

1. SWAP PHONE CALLS FOR VIDEO CALLS
It’s great to hear your girlfriend's voice, but seeing her is even better. That might seem like a huge duh, but it’s often so much easier to chat whenever one of you has the time, like while you're in line at the grocery store or driving to work. Not the sexiest of environments. Even though video calls might require more scheduling, they’re worth it.



“Many couples report that they feel more connected when they get to see their partner, as they’re engaging two senses—sight and sound—as opposed to just hearing their voice,” says Jessica O’Reilly, Ph.D., creator of the Sexual Pro Series Webinar Videos. Plus, you’ll be alone, meaning your attention is 100 percent on each other. Bonus: You don’t have to wear any clothes. Naked dinner date? Naked dessert? You see where this is going.

2. CHOOSE DISTANCE-FRIENDLY SEX TOYS
Sex toys that are app-controlled, like the We-Vibe Jive, a vibator that can be controlled anywhere from the We-Connect app, can be used during video sessions.

“Many couples who make an effort to have phone, text, or app-supported sex while they’re apart report that the sex is even hotter once they get back together, as they’re not out of practice and they’ve built anticipation over the weeks or months leading up to partnered in-the-flesh sex,” says O’Reilly.

3. SHOOT HER SOME HOT TEXTS
A message with a few strategically-chosen emojis can be almost as hot as in-person dirty talk, since you’re getting her to fantasize about what she's craving to do with you. Shoot her a text of what you’re thinking about or a sexy scenario you can’t wait to try with her next time you see her.

O’Reilly recommends using the app InTheMood, which is only connected to your partner, to avoid accidentally sending anything to other people in your contacts. And if you’re sending sexy photos, consider hiding your face or only sending close-ups of certain body parts so that you’re not identifiable. Besides, she'll appreciate any glimpse of you she can get. (Check out these sexting examples to get started.)

4. SEND HER A SEXY GIFT
Receiving a surprise package is already fun. When it’s filled with naughty goodies? Even better. You can get creative with this based on what your partner likes, but O’Reilly has a few ideas. “You can send your partner something sexy for them to wear (or for you to wear as a teaser for your next meetup), or even an erotic book or a toy.”

You can also fill up the box with some non-sexy items that she likes just to show her that you’re thinking about her, she says. Then she can thank you for the package in person when you see her next.
