Why Is It So Hard?
For many of us, talking about sex feels vulnerable and intimidating. Whether it’s due to cultural taboos, past experiences, or fear of judgment, starting an open conversation can be difficult.
However, avoiding these discussions can create distance and misunderstandings. Research from the Archives of Sexual Behavior shows that couples who openly discuss intimacy experience stronger emotional and physical connections.
Tips for Meaningful Conversations
1. Start Small
Timing is everything. Avoid serious discussions during arguments or stressful moments. A relaxed, private setting makes it easier to talk openly.
