6 Ways To Be Intimate Without Having Sex

Intimacy begins long before the bedroom.

​If your hope is to sustain a more than satisfying sex life here are a few fun ways to keep the spark in the bedroom (or wherever it’s going down) fully charged.

1 Make practicing emotional intimacy the norm.
Your partner will feel more drawn to you and desire to find ways to “return the favor” when you show consideration for how they may be feeling.

Check-in on them randomly throughout the day with “Just thinking about you Beautiful/Handsome.. How is your day going?”

Pay attention to their mood and if they’ve had a long or bad day go out of your way to comfort them. Showing you care is a surefire turn on.


2 Foreplay doesn’t always need to happen right before the clothes come off.
Make foreplay a 24/7 habit by being flirty throughout the day. Sending your lady flowers and love notes doesn’t get old.

Telling your man how sexy you think he is or how you like when he does something that turns you on, never gets old. Small, nice gifts or surprises do wonders.

When it comes to touch, incorporate playfulness whenever you can. Random bear hugs, kisses, or booty grabs are a good recipe to follow.


3 Never stop dating.
I recommend making date night the norm at least once bi-weekly. Intimacy is about sharing yourself and learning your partner on all levels to include emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

It’s not just about the physical.

There should always be something new to learn about your partner as you both grow. Dating is the opportunity to routinely check in, make sure you didn’t miss anything, and to fall in love all over again as you watch each other evolve.


4 Planning a fun weekend getaway is not only about making a temporary escape.
Just the planning alone with your partner can go a long way to showing up for your relationship.

When you are intentional about the future of the relationship by making plans it’s a turn on because it shows you are invested in building towards the future together with a purpose. How can this weekend be anything but intimate (on all levels) when you have a partner who plans baecations like that?

5 Be big kids!
Seriously! We are all big kids at heart and letting your inner child out to play is where the fun is at!

You’ll be more playful and flirty, which means more laughing and intimacy. Spontaneous pillow fights? Playing silly games or food fights?

A playful shove or caveman move to throw your woman over your shoulder? Cuddling or making out like high school sweethearts? Yes, please!

Who doesn’t want to feel young, in love again?


6 Find a balance between doing more things together and having time apart.
It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of life or starting a family. You both may have become set in your “roles”.

But it’s important to make time to do things together as just the two of you. It can be dinner, going for a walk or the gym, or riding bikes.

There should be an activity or two that you do as a couple. But just as important is allowing your partner the space to be an individual.

​Allowing each other the space to feel safe doing the things you each enjoy will ensure that you both continue to show up as your best, most authentic selves for the relationship when you are back together in the same space.
