SEX... FROM AFAR
- Posted on
There are many different types of relationships, and one that is becoming more popular with access to the internet and technology are long distance relationships.
Long distance relationships are when the couple lives apart from each other limiting their accessibility to see each other, and requiring transportation (long car, train, plane hours) to physically see each other.
With many more people connecting all over the world, we still face one big challenge: the need for physical touch. This goes anywhere from that comforting caress through you hair to the sexual needs that you and your partner(s) require from each other.
It is hard, and the alternatives to satisfy those needs will never truly be like the touch of your loving partner. However, while the physical aspect of your relationship are on hold, you develop the other needs of your relationship as well.
According to Gary Chapman in his book The Five Love Languages, there are five different ways people express love to each other.
- Physical
- Quality time
- Receiving gifts
- Acts of service
- Words of affirmation
All romantic partners use these love languages to communicate and grow. With long distance, even more so, with higher needs for communication and trust between each other. While you aren't able to physically be there for them, you'll still create that beautiful, strong foundation in your relationship.
