What are our boundaries around kissing, snuggling, back rubs, butt taps, location boundaries and kissing curfew. You and your partner need to be having frequent conversations around physical intimacy. Not just a one time DTR. It is a great idea to talk about it before you introduce a new level of intimacy.  4. What types of physical connection have created safety for you so far in our relationship? Has there been anything you have been uncomfortable with? 5. What is our plan for responding to feeling disconnected outside of physical experiences? 6. Does our PDA create an environment of honor, safety and peace for those around me?   Want more content?
