Find out how you can make things exciting with these five things and never live through another moment of boredom together!
How to Spice Up a Long-distance Relationship
1. Go for a movie date night together
It’s no secret that almost all couples spend time watching movies together, whether they snuggle up and watch Netflix at home or go the cinema. While it’s not possible to do those as a long distance couple, you don’t have to miss out on a movie date. Thanks to technology becoming more powerful, it’s just as easy for you to watch a movie with your loved one even if you’re thousands of miles apart.
First, you’ll need to
decide together which movie to watch. Then agree on a time when it’s convenient for the both of you to watch it together. Now, let technology do its magic!
There are many different ways you can watch movies together even when you live far apart from each other. You can even do it without spending a single dime! There’s a free app called Synaptop Theatre where you can watch a movie at exactly the same time as each other by synchronizing video streaming. You can even perform functions like pause, fast forward, and rewind so your partner will see the exact same thing on their screen as you do. Furthermore, there’s a chat function where you can both make comments on the movie you’re watching.
Another great option is to head over to MyCircle.tv where you can create a virtual room to stream videos. Invite your partner to your room with a unique code. Choose a movie you want to watch together on YouTube, Vimeo, or other video hosting sites and paste the URL into the virtual room you’ve created in MyCircle.tv. Now hit the go button and just sit and enjoy the movie with your partner. This site provides convenience because you don’t have to go through the hassle of registering an account and you don’t have to pay for it either!
2. Surprise them with a present
Never let your partner forget about you! One of the biggest problems in maintaining a long distance relationship is that couples tend to drift apart when they don’t get reminded of their partner enough. Everyone loves presents, and it’s extra delightful when it comes unexpectedly.
The good news is that
your gifts can be versatile and fit any sort of budget. They don’t have to be expensive if you can’t afford it, yet you still have the option to splurge a bit on your partner if you have some extra cash. You can make something personal by creating the gift yourself. You can also hop online and find all types of presents available at your fingertips within any price range. Make use of online delivery services to send the gift you bought to your sweetheart.
If you’re not able to meet up for a special occasion like an anniversary, you can still make it special. Choose a romantic gift or pick one that’s funny, depending on what your partner prefers. If your loved one is someone practical, you can send something useful like towels or
mugs. Want to spice things up a bit? You can even buy something naughty like lingerie to make your partner look forward to your next meet up. Whatever it is that your sweetheart is into, the perfect gift is out there!
3. Sexting can be a very powerful tool
A healthy sex life is very important to the success of any type of romantic relationship. Sexting is a way that long distance couples can benefit from to keep each other interested, despite the vast distance that separates them. This is a relatively new thing but has become almost an essential thing for people who live far away from their partner.
Just like real sex, start off slow with
some innocent yet flirty messages then slowly build up the intensity with more serious texts. Be as vivid and descriptive as possible with your texts so that your partner can visualize everything in their mind. Apart from just words, you can also enhance sexting with pictures. If you’re not comfortable sending nudes via your mobile phones, you can still show your partner sexy pictures of yourself without exposing your private parts.
Contrary to what you may believe, it’s entirely possible to have a more intense experience with sexting than actual sex. This is because the stimulation of the mind can be more powerful than just physical excitement. So don’t underestimate how sexting could enhance your relationship!
The beauty of sexting is that it allows you to be completely spontaneous with no rules. You can send naughty texts to your partner even when you know they are in a conference full of serious people in professional suits. In fact, doing that could make it extra exciting for the both of you. So get creative and start sexting now!
4. Cybersex is a must
Nobody can deny the importance of sex in a successful relationship, and it’s the same for long distance relationships. It used to be impossible when couples living far apart can only resort to pens, papers, and snail mails to send their affections to their partner. However, with technology on our side, long-distance couples can also have sex too, in the cyber world! All you need are a webcam, microphone, and decent internet connection and it would seem like the both of you are sharing the same space together.
Most couples
use Skype as a cybersex platform since it’s easily accessible and of course, free to use. You can compensate for the lack of physical touch with words and action, which can add a whole new dimension to having sex. Tell your partner what you want to do to them, strut some sexy poses and don’t forget to use eye contact.
You can also steam things up with some sexy accessories and lingerie. You can act out each other’s fantasies on camera. Role-playing is a great way to make things interesting. However, do make sure that your partner is also on the same page and that they are comfortable before taking things further.
As a precaution, you should take care that both your computers are free from malicious spyware. You don’t want the private footage of your cybersex sessions falling into the wrong hands. Also, try to refrain from recording any of your steamy sessions, you never know how these things could leak out on the internet!
5. Take advantage of long distance relationship sex toys
If both of you are comfortable enough and want to progress into something even more intimate, there’s
a huge variety of sex toys available. If you want to remain anonymous, you can always opt to buy them online and have the toys delivered to either your place or your partner’s. You can even send one to your sweetheart as a surprise gift. Just make sure you warn them not to open the gift when there’s someone around!
Sexual tension often builds up when you haven’t been intimate for a while. This is where sex toys can come to the rescue. Having steamy Skype sessions using toys can make it seem like you’re both having real physical sex. Just make sure that both of you are in a very private room where nobody else could see or hear you.
You can keep your long distance relationship hot and steamy with these five easy ways. Although it’s much easier to keep the flame alive in a long distance relationship now with the internet and technology, couples who live thousands of miles apart still have to make an extra effort to maintain the relationship compared to normal couples. It may be more difficult, but it’s entirely possible to have a healthy long distance relationship in which both of you are happy.
