6 Tips for Talking to Your Partner About S*x ✨ ✨
Open and honest communication is the foundation for a healthy relationship and a better s*x life. To break down communication barriers and overcome anxiety about the topic of s*x, try the following tips.
1. Make sure the context is right . Don't bring up a new kink you want to try in the heat of the moment, right after s*x, when your partner’s running out the door for work, or right before hosting a stressful dinner party. Make sure it's the right time and that you're both feeling good. Initiate the s*x talk in a neutral place, like the kitchen table. Chatting during a walk or long car ride can eliminate the pressure of eye contact. Keep your tone open, curious, and nonjudgmental. You’re proposing a change for the benefit of your shared pleasure, not criticizing, or complaining.
2. Use a compliment sandwich. When you want your partner to change how they have s*x, frame a suggestion around positive aspects of your shared s*x life. Say something like: “I love making out with you. The way you kiss my neck is a huge turn-on. If we could spend a little more time on foreplay, I know I'd be even more aroused when we start to have s*x.”
3. Demonstrate what you like. Sharing your dislikes can make your partner feel inadequate if you aren't careful. A positive and fun approach to explaining your s*xual desires is to suggest playing a game. For example, if you don't like how your partner kisses, show them your ideal kiss and ask if they can show you theirs as well. Then try all different kinds of kissing until you figure out what you both like.
