When a relationship is mentioned, most of us think of only physical or sexual intimacy, without realizing that you can also enjoy non-sexual forms of intimacy with your loved one.

It is possible that a relationship can survive without sex. Several emotionally-driven activities can simply be ways to bring you and your partner closer and to deeply connect in other ways.

Your relationship can be fun, filled with thrills and so many good times, even without sex. Here's how:

  • Communication 

Talk about everything and anything, and do it every time in every imaginable way. It could be calls, texts, emails, comments on social media, etc.

With your partner, set time aside every week to create your own special activity. Think simply and nothing extravagant.
