Sex is more than a physical act. It is an emotional connection for couples. There are ways to keep that sexual and emotional connection.

• Communication

Communication is key to any relationship. It is especially important for a sexual relationship to convey both consent and help you and your partner get maximum enjoyment. What you like, as well as hard no limits, should be communicated openly and honestly. Communication and consent are always the first step in a good sexual relationship. Keep those lines of communication open, going both ways.

• Concentrate on your health

The better health you and your partner are in, the better the sex will be. So take care of your health and encourage your partner to do the same. Diet, exercise, and general good health will help keep your sex life in tip top shape. The better you feel in general, the better shape you will be in physically and emotionally to have and enjoy sex with your partner.

• Use lube

Lubrication can be your best friend. Using plenty of lube, even without penetrative sex, can help things go smoothly, pun absolutely intended. Lube can help things get going and finish strong.

• Make connections

Physically and emotionally connect with your partner. Talking every day about your feelings and relationship helps build and expand your emotional connection. Also do not underestimate the power of touch. Touch connects us in a way that speech cannot. It does not need to be sexual or inherently intimate. A hand on the shoulder or holding hands can connect you in an instant. You may even want to include a therapist in helping you as a couple connect and share your feelings in an open and honest way.

• Schedule sex

Spontaneity is great, but sometimes our lives get busy. Sex and relationships can very easily get pushed to the side. Prioritize both by scheduling sex and intimate time. Pick a time and place where you will feel relaxed and not rushed, and take the time to enjoy each other. It will help strengthen or even rebuild that intimate connection you might be missing in your relationship. Making sex and the connection of intimacy a priority will pay off for the both of you.

• Share your fantasies

Take the time and the step toward true intimacy by sharing your fantasies with your partner. Baring your sexual soul with your partner can open up a sexual world for both of you that you might never have thought to go to. Even if you do not act in these fantasy scenarios, it will bring you closer if you talk about these desires and fantasies. After all, some fantasies are " dirty talking" afterall. 

Relationships take work. The work you put in will repay you with a better relationship and a better sex life. So put in that work and utilize the tips above to keep things fresh and sexy in your relationship.
