But we're going to move past that because the exciting thing is that when couples do move past all the blocks, then they have the incredible, connected, beautiful, loving sex that they desire.

Yeah, I'll talk about that because it's really, really, it's actually very important because it's not just like we're talking about, I'm trying to think of another conversation that might be easy. Like, are we, you know, where are we going on our summer trip? Or even conversations about money. Although this... tactic could be used then too. This is a really delicate conversation.

So I have the three T's of communication, which is timing, tone, and turf. And so, because I don't recommend that you just, you know, when you're in the bedroom and your partner, you feel like something's gone wrong sexually and you feel rejected again to bring up sex. No, we have to be very, very mindful about this conversation. So timing, tone, and turf is timing.

Find a time when you are just the two of you are relaxing, you're hanging out, maybe it's date night. And I always wanna say, you're not halt, you're not hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Those are not the times to have any awkward or serious conversations. The tone is curious and open and supportive and loving and light. Maybe do some breath work beforehand.

You make sure that you're coming from a place of collaboration. And the turf for this conversation is outside the bedroom. I just would love people to consider your bedroom as a place for sleeping and for sex.

And it's not a place to have these conversations because often people think, well, we're having sex or something just happened awkward in the bedroom or I got rejected again when I made an advance and this would be the time to have it. I couldn't be further from the truth that a great time to have it is when you are perhaps out taking a walk.

You're not making eye contact, which can still be very awkward for people. Or you're on a road trip. Those are great times to have these conversations. Then that's when you would say, hey, let's talk about something that we haven't before. Let's talk about our intimate life.

Absolutely. And this is exactly, this is exactly it that if your partner and they might, because going back to your question, I really want to unpack that. If they've stonewalled or they said, this is off limits, I am never talking about sex. And I'm telling you, I hear this all the time. I hear from the partner who's, you know, wants to talk and their partner is completely shut down.
