Making a long-distance relationship work isn’t easy, especially when sex is out of the picture. Absence, they claim, makes the heart grow fonder but what about out of sight, out of mind? Don't fret about losing that loving spark. Couples in long-distance relationships can have just as satisfying sex lives as their geographically close counterparts, says research from the Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships in the US. Here are the tools you need to indulge in some remote-controlled romancing, even if you are an international man of mystery.
1. A Phone
“Phone sex is about maintaining the intimacy and sexuality you both share,” says Lou Paget, author of The Great Lover Playbook. If your woman is shy, start by talking about how you’re kissing her and ask her to describe the type of kiss she’s returning, rather than full-on sex immediately. When things get more intense, encourage her by asking if she likes what you’re doing and why. Considering the falling charges of IDD calls and the rise of VOIP and Skype these days, it's not even as expensive as you'd think.
2. A Romance Novel
Ease an extremely shy woman into dirty talk by sending her a copy of your favourite romance novel. Go through it for the steamy bits, cross out the names of the two lead characters and put in your names, suggests Long Distance Couples: An Activities Handbook for Strengthening Long Distance Relationships by US-based The National Institute for Building Long Distance Relationships. Ask her to read out bits of it to you over the phone or if she’s feeling frisky, the webcam.
3. An E-mail
Instead of mindlessly surfing foreign language channels in your hotel room, write her an erotic e-mail – and ask that she write you one in return. And if you’re worried you’re no erotica master like Henry Miller, there are books that teach people how to write erotic
fantasies, says Dr Gregory Guldner, author of Long Distance Relationships: The Complete Guide.
4. A Webcam
When you’re both having a cosy moment over the webcam, ask her how she’s going to satisfy herself while you’re away. Tell her you’d really like to have this image of her to carry with you while you’re apart. Ask her to show you. If she’s hesitant, suggest she pleasure herself under the sheets while you watch. Also offer to do the same on your end, so it’s more of a sexual experience for both of you rather than her feeling like she’s giving a performance.
5. A Naughty Gift
Nothing raises the temperature like opening a racy package. Ask her to send you a pair of her sexiest panties or favourite corset top. And for something to remind her of you any time of the day, ship her a mini voice recorder with a sexy message from you, to get her steaming whenever she hits “Play”.

Seduce Her With A Serenade You don't need to play the guitar like Jason Mraz or John Mayer, but impress her with a little musical talent and you may end up playing with her G-string by the end of the night.
