When we try to satisfy our need for touch only through sex, we remain frustrated. Remember that making love starts many hours before the sexual act. It doesn't work to be grumpy with your partner all day and then expect to make sublime love when going to bed. Cultivate feelings of attraction by appreciating your partner all throughout the day, giving little gifts of thoughtfulness, even helping each other with chores. Let it feel like you are making love all day long, rather than merely a single act.
Love helps create magnificent sex.
Sex does not necessarily create magnificent love. Some people tend to use sex as the method to feel love. The sexual experience can be a powerful way into the heart. When it is relied upon as the only way to intimate connection, it becomes abused. This is true romancing.
