I'm going to even ask my partner, because maybe you don't even know how to initiate, right? Let's say your whole life. And I have to say that... I'm not usually the initiator. I did say that in the podcast too. I'm not. And it's because maybe I was with more higher desire partners or being a woman to bring gender into this.

I think often my heart goes out to men because they have so much pressure, I think, typically in heterosexual relationships. Like you've got to know all the sex things. You have to make the move. You have to ask someone out. You have to make the money. You have to know, understand their bodies. You have to be hard and ready to go. Like there's so much pressure. pressure.

And I think for men, and I'm not saying there aren't women who initiate a lot. I'm just saying you're in our typical stereotype, typical relationship. We're like, okay, at least I just have to respond to something. But there's a lot of power and empowerment in saying, I'm going to learn what makes me want to initiate. And it can even be with your partner.

Like what I love about the communication around sex is saying to your partner, I realize that I'm not always the one initiating, but help me out here. what would be a really hot initiation for you? What would that look like? Because then I don't have to make it up.

And my partner would say like, oh, I would love if you just came in and grabbed me, or you started making out with me, or you dressed up in something that made you feel sexy, or you blocked out the entire night for a date night, or I came home and you had candles lit, and you had music, our favorite music playing. It could look like however you want, but sometimes we just need a starting point.

We just need a cue. So then you can go, okay, I'm going to light a candle when I come home. I'm going to light a candle and that's going to be a signal or I'm going to kiss my partner's neck. And then eventually we might have some more confidence to say like, okay, I know how to initiate now. I know how to do it. I'm gonna take responsibility for it.

Because again, yeah, your partner might be feeling like some rejection. I don't think we realize it, that the rejection builds up. over time and then your partner might say like, I'm not going to keep initiating because you don't want sex. So this is where not talking about it creates all these stories, right? I mean, again, our thoughts are not the truth often.
