What forms of affection and non-sexual intimacy do you want more of in our relationship?
Following on from yesterday’s relationship question, feeling loved and appreciated by your partner involves much more than having sex or making love. Various signs of caring and affection throughout the day can be extremely important to your love life especially if they don’t directly lead to sex. Think of it like charging a love battery. If it’s fully charged, your sexual energy will be more intense. You can use it without recharging for a while, but eventually it drains and puts out the spark in your sex life.
Maintaining an intimate connection with hugs, kisses and touching (holding hands, cuddling, caresses, etc.) throughout the day is essential for keeping your love energy glowing. When you add in various types of emotional intimacy (communication, flirting, thoughtfulness, support, mutual fun, etc.), you can amp up the power even more. Ask each other intimate questions about what helps power up your love and you’ll be surprised by the sexual energy you can generate in the bedroom.
