Hello readers!


How are you guys doing today? I hope you’re not feeling too stressed with the year coming towards an end and with all the final assignments piling up on y’all! Are you guys only facing academic stress or also stress about ‘how to initiate physical contact with your boyfriend.’ Initiating physical contact may be different for everyone. For some people it might be easy, but for others it might be hard and it’s okay to feel shy while trying to initiate physical contact. After all, it is an intimate love language, thus, both partners should agree to it. Physical touch is a form of a non-verbal love language. The physical nature of this love language only makes people think it as a means of fulfilling sensual desires. However, desiring physical touch is more about feeling safe. It might be hard to initiate physical contact with your partner, but it’s never NOT POSSIBLE. Here are some ways to help initiate physical contact with your boyfriend:


  • Hold hands: From taking a walk in the park to walking each other class, holding hands is one of the oldest ways of initiating physical contact. It is the olden way, but also the golden way.

  • Hold them closely: Whenever your partner is feeling low, hold them closely, and express that you are there for them and will support them throughout the way.

  • Giving hugs: Getting into the habit of giving hugs before leaving each other can help initiate physical contact. Giving a hug to someone or receiving one from someone means that they feel secure with you or you feel secure with them which can help in the formation of a trust bond. When people trust each other, that’s the time, when they’re most likely to get intimate with each other. So make sure, both of your partners trust each other and are both willing.

  • Cuddle up: Cuddle up with your boyfriend while watching a movie either at home or at the theaters. This way both of you will be close together and feel a spark of physical intimacy rise up between you two.

  • Don’t wait: Lastly, if you really want to go for it, then just go for it! OF COURSE, COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER IF THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE! If they do, then initiate intimacy whenever you feel like it is the right time.


Initiating physical contact with your loved one can cause a rise to feelings of excitement and nervousness. It’s a plethora of feelings whenever one talks about physical contact with one’s partner. There’s nothing wrong in initiating physical contact with your boyfriend, in fact it can be exciting since you two can explore together. Just make sure that whatever you both do, both are comfortable. There should be a verbal solid consent present from both sides. Good luck and have fun ;)


Love,

Dear Letterbox
