INTIMATE THINGS TO DO BESIDES SEX

So, you want to get intimate with your honey. Guess it’s time to strip down and play with each other’s naughty bits. WRONG! Okay, so sex is intimate (at least great sex with someone you like is intimate), but believe it or not, there are other things to do that can build as strong of a connection with your partner. They make you feel even closer, and if you do them right, they’ll probably lead to even better sex. Don’t be scared of deeper intimacy than just doing the horizontal (or vertical, if you’re up for a change) tango. Try some of these today and see just how incredible they make you feel. 1. SPEND SOME TIME CUDDLING: Skip the sex and go straight to cuddling. Put on some background noise like a movie you’ve both seen a hundred times or some music. Just wrap yourselves up in each other and listen to the gentle rhythm of his heart beat and breathing. It’s sweet and more intimate than you might think. 2. TALK ABOUT WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT: You say you’re fine, he grunts that his day was good too. You might share some meaningless celebrity gossip and he’ll share how proud he was of some bodily gas he excreted earlier. That’s not enough. Have a deeper conversation. You don’t have to do it everyday, but talk about hopes, fears, dreams and even about the relationship itself. 3. OFFER TO HELP YOUR PARTNER WITH SOMETHING: Nothing is quite as sexy as a man that’s not afraid to help with the dishes or any other chores for that matter. Helping your partner with some random task gives you the two of you extra time together and shows you care. It’s amazing how close you feel when you wash and he dries. 4. PLAY TRUTH OR DARE: Add a bit of risk into the equation with some old school Truth or Dare. I know it might sound childish, but why should couples have to be mature 24/7? Sit down in the middle of the living room floor and have fun. You’ll be laughing and opening up in no time. If you play it right, one intimate thing might just lead into another. 5. TRY SOMETHING NEW TOGETHER: Trying something new together makes both of you more vulnerable. Neither one of you know what to expect. This means you share the entire experience for the first time together. It’s simple, but deeply intimate.
