What, you know, times of day should we experiment with having sex?

But then there's the communication that happens during sex, which we assume shouldn't need to happen.

But the reality is that even in a long term relationship, we need to be able to ask for what we want.

Right.

And so sometimes using phrases like guide me.

Show me.

Tell me what you want.

Does this feel good?

And or behavioral types of feedback, right?

Initiating something that you want to do.

Showing a person with your hand where you want to be touched, right?

Using both verbal and nonverbal cues.

Using noise, moans, sighs, things that allow your partner to understand how is this feeling and paying attention to those verbal cues of your partner and behavioral cues, the rate of their breath, right?

How are they responding to what's happening?

Because that is all part of sexual communication.

People have different sexual communication styles, right?

Some people are going to naturally feel very comfortable using their words and being very forthright about exactly what they want to try.

Other people might feel a little bit less comfortable with that, right?

And that's where these more behavioral and nonverbal types of communication can come into play.

And then there's the communication that needs to happen after the sexual experience, which is kind of the debrief, right?
