If you miss personal time with your spouse but are separated by distance, consider virtual sex. If you're doing it for the first time, the notion may seem scary, but we're here to aid you with some vital suggestions. 

Here are five recommendations to help you get acquainted with the concept of virtual sex and how to do it:

1. Gauge your partner's interest - If you and your partner have never had virtual sex before, it's understandable to feel embarrassed or self-conscious about bringing it up — but approaching the topic with curiosity can help.

2. Start with texts or voice notes - Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

"I can't stop thinking about that time we…"

"Later tonight, I'd love to try…"

"How'd you like to see a photo of what I'm (not) wearing?"

You may also try recording and sending seductive voice notes to your spouse to help you feel more comfortable discussing your thoughts and wishes.

3. Take things easy - Foreplay is vital both in real life and in the virtual world. It creates a better degree of comfort before you both engage in the deed. Sending flirty messages and voice notes might help to create enthusiasm.

4. Think about organizing virtual sex ahead of time - While spontaneous virtual sex may be thrilling, you might want to consider scheduling it ahead of time when you're just starting out. 

5. Avoid establishing lofty expectations - Dive into the encounter with the goal of trying something new, rather than anticipating anything particular, such as an orgasm. When we approach tasks with the purpose of having fun, the pressure is naturally reduced.

Don't allow distance to get in the way of your sex life. Experience virtual sex with your partner till you meet each other again!
