A lot of  long distance relationships advice for men focuses on the lack of physical intimacy in an LDR. Keeping a relationship sexy and sizzling requires proximity although there are many creative ways to get around this. Plenty of LDRs have failed because of the lack of physical contact. Fortunately, modern innovations in communication technology are a solution to the lack of sex in a long distance relationship. Below are some of the ways you can keep the fires burning between you and your partner despite the miles.

• Go e-sexy. This means taking advantage of electronic communications like web cams, instant messaging systems, email, and other means of correspondence over the internet. You can start a private blog with your partner and update it regularly with your own brand of naughty posts and maybe even a photograph or two. Or you can block off a night when you can just lose all inhibition and have her put on a show for you via web cam…and vice versa. This is the sort of modern long distance relationship advice for men which can really get the creative juices (among other things) flowing between partners.
• Talk naughty. Long distance phone calls are a must. The great news is that nightmarish phone bills due to long conversations can be a thing of the past given the many choices of low cost, real-time voice communication now available. There are plug-in devices that allow for free calls to the US and Canada for a yearly fee, as well as software that allows free calls from a computer to a phone. All these convenient communication gadgets and innovation makes it easy and affordable to enjoy the sexy and spicy repartee between the two of you.
• Send her an item of clothing you have recently worn. Scent is one of the most potent of bodily senses. A woman loves to sleep in a man’s shirt, especially if it smells like him. Send her a shirt of yours to sleep in and she will feel like she’s wrapped up in your musk as she drifts off to sleep. This will help her to feel close to you despite the physical separation. Articles of clothing can be as intimate (and naughty) as underwear, or just a longtime favorite t-shirt or button-up shirt. Plenty of couples use each others’ clothes to evoke a sense of closeness.

Long distance relationships advice for men: while keeping things hot and sexy, remember to show her how much you care.

In an LDR,  some sacrifices do have to be made in order for it to thrive and culminate into something more. This means there should be an end goal, which is the most important long distance relationships advice for men. Bring a sense of permanence to your relationship by having plans to live together or get married at some point in the future, so you can unite in the same goal. Doing so will make petty concerns, insecurities and jealousy drop away. Until this happens, make plans for visits and real face-time to keep the relationship strong until that momentous occasion when you can finally, truly be together in one place, in the same time zone.

Above all, realize that while this article focused on finding ways to be intimate while apart, men and women have different needs. This is best expressed by something a therapist said in one of my LinkedIn discussion groups when talking about the differences between what men and women want and need:

MEN: Women need a man to court her, care for her, woo her, bring flowers, candy, take her to dinner, show her affection, talk to her, listen to her needs and dreams, support her in small ways, tell her how special she is, remember her birthday and anniversary, do the dishes sometimes, surprise her, touch her, cuddle her, never stop romancing her. (For some great gift ideas see long distance relationships gifts for her.)

WOMEN: Show up naked. Bring food.
