Love Beyond Performance: The Hidden Skills of Emotional Connection

Being great in bed can help make sure that your partner is always satisfied during sex. However, sexual prowess is not the end-all and be-all of love. You should also establish a strong emotional connection with your partner. 

Let’s take a look at some of the most effective ways to emotionally connect with your partner and strengthen your bond beyond your sexual game. 

Communicate 

Communication is an integral part of a healthy relationship. While some men are too afraid to share their emotions, it pays to share your thoughts and feelings with your partner. Tell your partner how your day at work went. Share something interesting or funny that happened to you that day. Above all, your partner is not merely your fubu but your ally in life, so it’s natural to tell them your stories. 

Remember: communication is not just about talking. It also involves listening. Ask your partner how his or her day went. Listen intently and show genuine interest in what they have to say. Express appreciation for what she does, whether it’s about being an excellent partner, a great mother, or simply being there for you. 

Be emotionally available 

Being emotionally available for your partner shows that you have complete trust in him or her. It shows that you want your partner to see the real you without the fear of judgment. By being completely open to your partner, you are also showing them that they are in a safe space where they can do the same. 

It shows that you consider them as a crucial part of your life. Share your dreams and goals. Tell them about your plans for yourself and your relationship. Aside from reassuring them, it gives them a chance to raise concerns or objections that you can talk about as a couple. 

Spend quality time 

No matter how busy you are, set aside quality time for your partner. Plan date nights to give your partner a break. Arrange for a babysitter or a family member to take care of your kids if you have any. 

Spending quality time doesn’t always have to be a date. It can be doing something that you and your partner enjoy. Try a shared hobby. Enroll in a class, whether it's dance, music, or arts and crafts, to discover something new together. 

Build trust 

Mutual trust is a solid foundation for a healthy relationship. Establish trust by keeping promises and commitments. Make sure that your partner can rely on you to be there in both small and big moments. Show your partner that you trust and believe in him or her. Support them in their endeavours. 

Trust is also having the faith that your partner will accept you despite your shortcomings and imperfections. If you have ED or PE, trust that your partner will support you in your battle. Have them with you during medical consultations so both of you can understand the situation. It will also give them a chance to be a part of your journey towards healing. 

Have fun together 

Humour makes life better and easier. Being able to laugh together and enjoy the little things can help create a strong emotional connection between partners. Find joy in even the little things. Laughing is an excellent way to relieve stress. 

Find ways to have fun even when doing trivial chores. For example, play upbeat music while cleaning the house with your partner. You can also make intimate moments fun. Try new sex positions or use sex toys. If you and your partner are up for it, try role-playing in bed. These new adventures can spice up your sex life while improving emotional connections. 

Be understanding 

Emotional connections are like plants, they don’t grow overnight. You need to care for and nourish them. You need to give it time to grow. Be patient if you think that you haven’t achieved an ideal level of emotional connection with your partner. Remember that even if you are a couple, you each have an individual journey that you need to complete. 

Be understanding when it comes to intimacy. Respect his or her boundaries in bed. If you want to try something new, discuss it with your partner and ask for their consent.  

Show physical affection 

Physical affection can deepen emotional connections. And we’re not just talking about sex. You can show physical affection through kisses, hugs, cuddles, or holding hands. 

If you have a sexual dysfunction, like premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction, try finding new ways of being intimate with your partner. It can be by giving him or her a sensual massage or using sex toys. It can also be something as simple as reading a spicy novel together or watching a romantic movie. 

If your partner prefers penetrative sex, seek treatment from licensed professionals. While buying over-the-counter drugs can be an economical option, they may not be effective and could cause various side effects. Custom treatment is your best option to address specific needs and concerns. 

It's important to consult a healthcare professional who can provide personalised advice and treatment plans tailored to your situation.
