Going the Distance
Dear Mistress,
My fiancé will be leaving for a month-long class in June. He'll be on the West Coast, and I will be here in Vermont. I'm not worried about our relationship, as it's only a month — but I am going to miss being intimate with him! We have sex just about every day, and I've become accustomed to starting my day with a huge orgasm.
I'm trying to be supportive of his decision to take off for a month and not be too selfish about not getting my orgasms, but I'm wondering if you have any tips for keeping our sex life fresh while we're apart.
Signed,
Long-Distance Diva

Dear Diva,
Kudos to you for keeping the home fires burning while your fiancé’s away.
First and foremost, make sure you have a good cellphone plan, because you're going to want to reach out and touch someone. Your man can still help you orgasm every morning — you're just going to have to learn how to masturbate and hold a phone at the same time. That or invest in a Bluetooth. If you're more visual, Skype sex is the way to go.
Of course, technology can get boring, so try going old school. Send him some steamy, hand-written love letters describing what you plan to do to him when he returns home. Not a pro with prose? Pick up an erotica book, underline your favorite pervy passages and pop it in the mail — he'll love receiving a care package from home, especially if you include a pair of your panties or a spritz of your perfume.
Above all, remember to be patient. Even the best-laid plans can get derailed by life's everyday nuisances. Remember, it's just a month — so treat this as a fun, experimental time in your relationship, not a burdensome arrangement.
Going the distance,
MM
