Whether it’s for education, business, or any other opportunity or circumstance; people nowadays are known the travel the world. In anybody’s life, there might come a time that you’ll find yourself away from your partner. And if you’re unlucky, this may be for a period of time much longer than you feel comfortable with. But luckily, being apart from each other for a month or maybe even a year does not have to mean the end of your relationship!

A long distance relationship may be difficult at first, but they are also known to make one’s relationship stronger. So instead of letting the distance between the two of you break you apart, why not use it to become closer? At Luvkis we believe that there is no reason to let the any distance determine whether you should end your relationship. This is why we have put together this list of tips & tricks to keep the passion and your relationship alive from afar.

1) Communicate regularly and creatively

Well, this first tip might be a no-brainer but nevertheless it’s important; stay connected! You don’t have to talk every day (especially not if you’re busy and there is a big time difference). But at least schedule one or two weekly meetings to look forward too! With today’s technology, it has never been easier to stay in touch with people around the world. If you’re in the same country, you can simply give them a call. But even if you’re at the other side of the globe, you can use Skype or WhatsApp to stay in touch. Social apps allow you to talk with each other throughout the day, making sure you never feel lonely.

Talking with each other face to face or simply by typing offers you the opportunity to share what has happened today. Did you have a nice day at work? Anything what’s bothering you? Any plans for the weekend with friends? Thanks to today’s chat features you won’t have to send letters anymore and wait 30 days for a reply. Just remember, no matter where you are, your partner always is just a Skype call away.

2) Visit each other

Are Skype calls alone not enough for you to keep your long distance relationship alive? Well, just because you’re not in the same city does not mean that you can not visit each other. Even if you’re in a completely different country, there always is the chance to bring your lover a visit. Planning a short trip or visit together helps you to get your mind off the loneliness. Besides, it lets you look forward to something which makes time pass much quicker. And what’s better than traveling together with your partner and discovering new places? After not seeing each other for several weeks or even months, your reunion and trip is sure to nothing but amazing!

3) Do things together

If you are in a long distance relationship with your partner and, for whatever reason, it is not possible to see each other, it does not mean that you can’t have fun together in other ways. Besides having regular face chats, the internet offers plenty of other opportunities to have fun.

You could, for instance, play a game together online if you’re into gaming. Or start watching the same movie at the same time while simultaneously talking on Skype. For the musicians among us there always is the possibility to play an instrument or sing together. You could even simply go for a walk together with your camera on or go shopping (online) to buy each other gifts. Just be creative, and you can come up with enough things to do together even when your partner is not physically around.

4) Talk dirty to each other

Fun comes in many different ways. Just because you’re away from each other, does not mean that you can’t be ‘’dirty’’ with one another anymore. When you’re in a long distance relationship, sexual desires are likely to rise. And let’s face it, sexual tension is certainly one of the most important things between two lovers. But just because you’re apart and can’t be physically together, does not mean that sexual desire should drive you away from each other. Instead, you can use it as a glue that keeps both of you together. One great way to keep the flames burning is by sending each other hot and teasing sexual messages. Provoke each other a little bit and try to turn your partner on. You can keep it simply with talking, or maybe even send a sexy picture. Just remember to be careful when sharing any private pictures online!

5) Have some fun on camera

Long distance relationships can be hard and sometimes just chatting online, whether normal or dirty, is not enough. Luckily, you do not have to be very adventurous to make your long distance relationship more exciting. Everybody desires sex so don’t let the distance between the two of you take this away from you. The secret to a happy and exciting long distance relationship? Skype sex.

Sure, it’s not something essential and nobody is forcing you to do it. But let’s face it, you have to do something to keep your relationship exciting while you’re apart. After you did it once, you’ll soon realize it’s not as scary and awkward as you may think. It’s just about getting started and let yourself go. Once you get in the mood, you’ll soon realize that it actually is a lot of fun and can be almost just as exciting as real life sex.

You can give your partner a teasing striptease or play yourself with your fingers or by using some exciting sex toys.
