We often feel a lot of shame talking about sex with our partner. Acknowledging that sex is a part of your relationship is the first step toward building comfort in discussing it. Open the door to exploring early memories, fantasies, and favorite sexual experiences. To start these conversations, try asking:
- What is your favorite sexual memory with me?
- What comes up when you think about the words sex, vagina, vulva, or penis?
- What were you taught about sex, and what do you wish you had been taught?
- What does great sex mean to you? What is your favorite part about it?
- What does intimacy mean to you?
- What is your favorite sexual memory with me?
- What comes up when you think about the words sex, vagina, vulva, or penis?
- What were you taught about sex, and what do you wish you had been taught?
- What does great sex mean to you? What is your favorite part about it?
- What does intimacy mean to you?
