45 Ways To Be Intimate Without Having Sex
Jul 20, 2018 by apost team
It seems so easy, so effortless, finding intimacy in a new relationship. However, couples who have been together long-term often find themselves so busy with their day-to-day lives that they lose their sense of connection. That connection is vital, though, to maintain any relationship. For this reason, it really is the responsibility of each person in the relationship to actively work on intimacy. It is also vital for couples to realize that there is so much more to intimacy than just sex. In fact, when couples have intimacy elsewhere, they frequently find that their sex-life becomes effortlessly fulfilling.
If you’re having trouble thinking of ways to enhance the connection you have with your significant other, here are 45 ideas to start with.

You just have to show her that you two are a team.
