Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be…

Talking about sex is crucial, yet so many couples struggle with it.

Understanding the science behind sexual communication can make these conversations easier — for you, your partner, and the fly on the wall.

What gets in the way?

We get it — it’s awkward.

But it’s not just that.

Several psychological factors can hinder sexual communication.

These include fear of rejection, embarrassment, and cultural or societal taboos.

Understanding these barriers is the first step in overcoming them.

Creating a safe space between you

Both partners need to feel safe and respected.

This means a judgment-free environment… Trust and mutual respect are key.

When you feel safe, it's easier to talk about your desires.

Who would want to open up if they fear criticism or ridicule?

Using "I" statements

"I" statements can make a big difference.

Instead of saying "You never cuddle with me," try "I feel loved when we cuddle after sex."

This approach focuses on your feelings rather than blaming your partner.

Choosing the right moment

Time and place!

Choose a good time and setting for these conversations.

Avoid discussing sensitive topics during heated arguments or when one partner is stressed.

Instead, find a quiet, private space where you can talk openly without interruptions.

Learning together

Educate yourselves about sexuality and sexual health.
