Long-distance relationships

[ohathena.livejournal.com]

Hello VPers!
I think I may have accidentally gotten myself into a long-distance relationship with a guy that I've been close to (we met in high school but then I moved and we stayed in touch through msn conversations) for 3 or 4 years. How this came about is a rather long story. The bottom line is that I've always avoided this sort of situation because sex, sex-related activities, and other forms of physical intimacy are super important to me. The dude lives 800 miles away; he's in the US, I'm in Canada. We're both in university.

I just wanted to ask how those of you doing the LDR thing survive the sexual frustration, or if I am making a big mistake by pursuing this in the first place, no matter how casually. If this is inappropriate for VP, please delete! 
Thanks in advance. :)

EDIT: thanks so much for all the awesome suggestions! You all rock me like a hurricane with your lovely insight.

Email dirty stories, too!

I was in a LDR for about a year. It was stressy but... Yah, well, certain variations of phone sex were useful. O:> (And I've been married to that fellow since 1991. So. O:> )

I also second relationhelp. O:>
