An item like a particular piece of jewelry (a discreet collar necklace or a special ring) that when worn signals “I’m in the mood” or “thinking of last night.” Or something like a specific throw blanket that when it comes out, it’s make-out time. These tangible things become symbols in your relationship for sexual connection. They can be comforting too – for example, if one partner had an intense experience, giving them a small token (like a bracelet) to wear the next day can remind them of the closeness and care you share, combatting any drop in mood.
