Why and How to Introduce Long Distance Sex Toys Into Your Relationship?
"Long-distance relationships are hard and as much as technology has made it easier to communicate, being physically away from your significant other can take a toll on you. An important element that contributes to stress in this case is the question of what is going to happen to our sex life?" explains Annabelle Knight, sex and relationships expert from Lovehoney.
Introducing long distance sex toys is a great way to combat this distance, maintain a thriving sex life and feel close to your partner no matter how far away they are. "Communicate, experiment to your comfort level and be open to new experiences. By experimenting and engaging with each other this way, you can learn about each of your intimate needs in a way that you wouldn't even be able to if you were having sex in person," says Annabelle.
