#1: Partner Pillows

Have a pillow that's a similar size and shape to your partner's body type. Partner Pillows are a good way to cuddle with your sweetheart and have a better bodily connection with them.

#2: Transferring kisses

Try kissing the palm or the back of the body's hand and then pressing it against the body's face, similar to blowing kisses.

#3: Wearing sweaters

Wearing sweaters and clothes that are tight around the torso can give the feeling of a warm hug. It's even better if the sweater was bought as a gift.

#4: Mirror kisses

For deeper kisses, try using a little pocket/makeup mirror so you can see them when you kiss them, even if it's the body you're seeing. Alternatively, for fictives, you might be able to find a piece of merchandise of them (like a plush or poster) for you to kiss.

#5: Surprise them with things they like

For systems that don't overlap too much with consciousness and memories, try setting up a romantic gesture while your partner isn't in front so you can surprise them later (example: a basket of treats, or something they've wanted/needed to buy for a while).

#6: Sensory associations
