Does anybody have any tips on how to stay intimate?

Since sex isn't an option until I find the right treatment to make my pain go away, does anybody have an tips or advice on other things to do to maintain that closeness with your partner? Blowjobs are getting boring and taking turns on each other is just too much of a chore after so long of this. Any tips to spice things up?

Roleplay I guess would be one way

Could you explain which definition of "sex" you're using? PIV sex, or any kind of genital contact? Also what you mean about "taking turns on each other"? It gives us more of an idea of how many options are open to you.

Blowjobs do get boring don't they! lol. I'm no expert but maybe you could like dress up for him and talk dirty? my boyfriend loves all that. Or watch something kinky. Or you could just accept that sex isn't right for you at the moment and be intimate and affectionate in other ways such as kissing and cuddling

anal sex is actually pretty awesome. Especially if hes not too big and you guys take it slow at first. The orgasms (if your stimulating your clit while hes doing it) are incredible. 10 xs more intense, Im serious.

Anal sex has been my standby for 4 years now, and its saved me so much more insanity and frustration dealing with this condition, if you cum, its as satisfying if not more satisfying than vaginal. Once i stated doing it, I understood what all the fuss was about with gay men, lol!! )

Theres something about anal sex that is hard to explain and very intense, and men Love it too, so try it, and remember to keep CLEAN, and shower each and everytime you do it, right after, both of you, do not fall asleep without showing, youll get an infection very easily.
be very careful not to let bacteria get into your vag area, no mishaps, etc..

I'm a man and have only ever been intimate with one woman with v (now my wife) so I'm no expert, but I've read that it affects different women differently. For my wife, penetration is an absolute no-no, but oral doesn't cause a flare-up and can sometimes help. If that's the case then maybe just get your man to go down on you. We guys tend to enjoy doing that :-)

I appreciate all the feedback! Thank you! My bf and I have discussed anal but it sounds quite scary to me. I heard that is not an area to penetrate because it can easily tear. It may be something to consider until I am able to have vaginal sex again but I am not 100% sold on the idea.

I don't think you should try vaginal sex if you have any concerns that it could trigger or worsen your condition. No man who loves a woman would want to risk that. Only do things when you feel the desire, and focus on stuff that you enjoy and make you feel better rather than worse.
