I really appreciate this article that should, hopefully, debunk the idea of maintaining some sort of false frequency of sexual intimacy. I am glad the idea that communication is the true way to understanding and coming to know your partner’s desires and wants and needs.
If there is going to be some kind of constructed, planned, scheduled aspect to your sex, make that event conversation. Plan to talk about your sex life. Maybe you have a new fantasy you’d like to try. Maybe you’re overtired and not able to talk about it at the time your partner initiates. Maybe you have a funny joke about sex.
Despite society continually trying to shut down conversations about sex (Hello Tennessee!), communication really is the key.
