What are some good conversation openers when discussing sex?
It’s not unusual to feel awkward and uncomfortable when sex is the topic. You don’t have to pretend to be an expert or let your anxiety hold you hostage. Talking about sex can start with acknowledging any discomfort, ignorance, or embarrassment that you feel. You might try, “I really don’t know HOW best to do this. I’ve never talked about these things before…and I don’t feel comfortable. But I’m willing to try because I want so much to be close to you and to build on what we already have.
