Let’s Talk About Sex

Talking about sex with your partner is such a difficult task. Talking about good sex, what we want both in and out of the bedroom and what they can do to please you almost never happens.

According to The Gottman Institute, a leading researcher on love and intimacy, “Only 9% of couples who can’t comfortably talk about sex with one another report they’re satisfied sexually”. How can you report being satisfied when you never tell your partner how to satisfy you? That’s crazy talk!

Talking about sex and intimacy allows you to create an erotic guide (so to speak) of what your partner likes and dislikes. And when I say talk about sex and intimacy, I mean actually talk about sex and intimacy!

“What turns you on?”

“What can we do to make sex more like lovemaking?”

“Please share your thoughts and fantasies during sex.”

Have fun with this. Explore each other’s desires, learn new ideas to share an intimate connection and think of unexpected ways to express your love to your partner.
