How to learn to talk about sex

Shared by the hosts of a podcast about sex, the body and sexuality.

1.

Talk about sex *with yourself* and explore yourself

2.

Remember that your partner has *their own feelings and desires* — and they may not match yours

3.

Think your words through *in advance*

  • by the way, it's a turn-on

4.

All of this works *only if you feel safe*: you're not judged, not mocked, not abused

5.

And, well, actually talk about sex: as in many other areas of life, *you can't get anywhere without practice*

6.

Learn more about *nonviolent communication* and use it

7.

*Be guided by comfort*, not by "how it's supposed to be": for example, use the words you and your partner(s) are used to

8.

*Don't beat yourself up* over "mistakes"

  • see point 5

9.

On our podcast, we ourselves are learning to talk openly about sex and find the right words. Don't be afraid to talk about sex, and enjoy it <3
