Let’s start with people with a new Partner and want to know how to start to talk about sex,
The hardest one is probably don’t wait till you have had sex; you could be taking risks or make hasty decisions that could be regrettable
Try and talk about Contraception in advance get to know your options,
Try and choose a time to talk when you are alone and there are no interruptions like phones or people walking in on you.
What do I say is a big question, I am sure when the time comes to talk you will think of something and it’s not always going to be the Guy that’s going to ask the questions either
So how about
• What are your feelings on sex,
• Would you like to have sex with me when you are ready,
• Then you should talk about safer sex
Keep it simple but not heavy or threatening
Maybe a good idea to find out about your partners sexual history
Always good to discuss this before,
A good opening line could be “before we have sex I need to talk to you,
We all know about one night stands and they do happen so always make sure you carry Condoms around with you, don’t want to catch any infections or have unwanted Pregnancy
Sexual Health For those in a relationship
If your sex life isn’t What it used to be
Here are some steps that you can take to make Sexual Health better.
Again a good start is by talking to your partner about how you feel. What you are feeling is going wrong. Don’t start blaming each other for mistakes that are happening all you will get is an argument, and that won’t help at all
Talking is important with keeping any relationship healthy, the old saying Sharing is Caring also goes with talking this is so true with your sex life
Talk about things especially in your sex life don’t keep your problems to yourselves especially if you are worried about something
If the cuddles and sexual life stops or you feel that you don’t need sex as often as you did your partner is going to think the worst that you don’t Love them anymore or you have found someone else So it is vital that you talk Share your feelings,
Don’t forget that our bodies change and so do our needs as we get older,
The problem could be undue Stress that you are going through maybe its work or Money problems whatever the reason you must let your partner know then you can work on the problem together
Often a couple will talk a lot together but when it comes down to sex the talking seems to stop don’t be embarrassed try talking it always helps.
There always seems to be never the right moment to talk this is a good delaying tactic
You have to pick the right moment when you are on your own the kids are out or make sure the kids are away for a few hours unplug the phone and Turn the Telly off
What do we say?
Well if you are not happy with your sex life then say so but don’t mention it just after you have made love that is not the right time
Explain as to why you are unhappy there could be a variety of reasons, but you have to be Honest with each other
Don’t be frightened about hurting your partner’s feelings if you are in a loving relationship you can work it out together
Try and be sensitive with each other’s feelings, Try saying something like I’ve noticed that you have not been making love as often as we did and I’m a little worried about it| “What do you think about it”
This statement could be quite shocking to your partner but you both need to address the situation and find out what you can do differently it might just be a case of spicing up your sex life, there are plenty of good books and videos on the subject don’t be embarrassed to learn from these.
Or you may feel the need to talk to a Sex Therapist they can suggest ways that you can move forward that would be suitable for both of you.
