However, intimacy can take the backseat when a man is struggling with erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE). Here are some sensual activities to restore intimacy amid ED and PE.

#2 - Bathing together 

Sharing a warm bath helps you relax and relieve stress. You can up your game by using scented oils, scented candles, and sensual music to create a romantic atmosphere for you and your partner. Bring glasses of wine and take a long soak with your partner for that ultimate romantic experience. 

#3 - Reading 

It may sound mundane but reading to each other can help enhance intimacy. Choose a romantic or sensual book and take turns reading to each other. Aside from enhancing intimacy, it helps strengthen your bond because you’re spending quality time with your partner. 

#4 - Dancing 

Slow dances to the tune of your favourite music can help you get closer to your partner. Dancing helps you connect and get closer to your partner’s body. If you’re up to it, learn sensual dances like Tango, Rumba, or Salsa for a more exhilarating experience. 

#5 - Exploring erogenous zones 

Having a long-time sex partner can lead to complacency. Break this complacency by going back to the basics and exploring your partner’s body. Use your hands, lips, and tongue to discover new erogenous zones that give pleasure to your partner. 

#6 Creating art 

Creating art can be a sensual activity even if you’re no Picasso or Van Gogh. Painting or drawing on each other’s bodies can be a fun yet intimate activity. Try creating a naked painting of each other. You can also explore naked photography to see if you have the flair for it. Just make sure that you keep the finished products secure and safe from the eyes of other people. 

#7 - Exploring fantasies 

We all have sexual fantasies although most of us are afraid to talk about them. Broach the subject of bringing these fantasies to life to increase intimacy between you and your partner. You can even buy costumes and props to re-enact sensual scenarios. List down scenarios you find sexually exciting so you can choose one that you and your partner can re-enact. 

#8 - Trying sex toys and gadgets 

Sex toys and gadgets are excellent tools to use when battling erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. You can use dildos or vibrators to stimulate your partner. You can also use anal beads, cock rings, and butt plugs if you’re up forto it. Sex toys and gadgets can help bring your partner to the brink of orgasm so you can easily bring her to completion when you penetrate her. 

#9 - Increasing sexual intensity 

If you’re always having vanilla sex with your partner and it’s no longer as exciting, you might want to up the ante. For example, you might want to try BDSM or explore some of your hidden kinks. However, make sure that your partner is comfortable with this idea so as not to damage your relationship. Talk about boundaries to know your limitations. Physically intense sexual activities also require complete trust between participants so avoid doing them with casual sexual partners.   

#10 - Speak up 

Words are great agents of intimacy. Expressing your feelings and desires can help excite your partner before, during, and after sex. Complimenting your partner can help her feel more important and wanted. Tell her how much you love her, how wonderful her body is, or how much you appreciate everything that she does for you. If you’re feeling adventurous, explore the possibility of engaging in dirty talk. However, make sure that your partner is comfortable with talking dirty because some people feel turned off or degraded by sexually explicit language. 

Bonus - Work as a Team 

Intimacy flourishes when couples work as a team to nurture their emotional and physical connection. Engaging in open communication, exploring new ways to connect, and spending quality time together should all be joint efforts. Working as a team, you can strengthen your relationship and enhance your overall satisfaction.
