How Do You Get Your Partner To Touch You More?

Vanessa Marin explains how to ask for more touch without making it awkward. Tell your partner exactly what kinds of touch you like, praise them when they do it, and be willing to start the touching yourself.

First thing to do is show them that original TikTok. Just say that you came across it and you thought it was really interesting. You want to show your partner and ask them what they think. I love using these kinds of things as conversation openers with our partners because it makes it feel like it's not something that you've been some secret you've been harboring that you've been waiting to talk to them about. It's like, oh, yeah, I saw this today. What do you think about this? The other important thing to remember here is that if your partner is not naturally a touchy person, it's probably going to be something that's a little difficult for them to remember to do. So first thing, you need to let them know that you enjoy touch. And be specific with them, too. Like tell them the kinds of touch that you like, where you like to be touched, how you like to be touched in that place. Whenever they do give you touch, give them plenty of praise. We need a lot of positive reinforcement to develop a habit. That's something that doesn't come naturally to us. And also be willing to initiate a lot of touch on your own at first. I know a lot of us want our partner to just know how to love us and go ahead and do it without us having to prompt it. But if touch is not your partner's natural way of showing care, affection, love, they're going to need to be prompted. So don't take this personally. Don't think of it as a sign that you guys aren't compatible. Just be willing to take some of these steps and see what happens from there.
