Touch each other. Too often, particularly in long-term relationships, we stop touching each other unless we want sex. Donâ€™t let that happen! Make a point of touching your partner throughout the day. That could be kissing, hugs, stroking his cheek, even running your fingers through his hair. Then find opportunities for more intensive touching, such as giving each other massages. You will find that your entire body has erotic potential, and it is fun to explore each otherâ€™s bodies and find which areas provide pleasurable sensations and which do not. Then communicate this with each other.
