Not just two bodies intertwining but also two souls.
Sexual romance is the experience of expressing feelings of love, passion, and care through erotic touch.
“Romance is relative,” sex and dating coachMyisha Battle, M.S., recently told mbg.
So, take time to actually ask your partner what sexual romance means tothem, specifically.
This conversation itself can be fairly steamy.
On an intimate date night, ask them about what intimate, passionate sex looks like to them.
Ask them how they like to be touched and held.
You’re sure to enjoy the conversation that follows, and whatever else comes after that.
Then, deliver on whatever desires they shared with you.
Get to know your partner’s inner world.
Sexual romance starts outside the bedroom.
Create a romantic environment.
Gaze into each other’s eyes.
Eye contact can instantlymake sex more intimate, according to AASECT-certified sex therapistJanet Brito, Ph.D., LCSW.
“Eye gazing can promote feelings of safety and attunement.”
Really take a stab at see into your partner’s soul and see them fully.
Kiss them in places other than their mouth.
Lay soft kisses all over their body, especially in the more tender and vulnerable places.
Hold hands.
Interlock your fingers with theirs as you gaze into each other’s eyes and melt into each other.
Try the yab yum.
Be romantic in your day-to-day life.
Cuddle more.
So, cuddle more often in your day-to-day lives.
You might even consider getting more creative with yourcuddling positions.

Practice aftercare.
Say what you’re feeling.
This isn’t about whispering sweet nothings but rather opening up to be truly vulnerable with your emotions.
How does your partner make you feel?
What do they mean to you?
Let them know, right there and then in the middle of the act.
