EPISODE SHOW NOTES
If you want something different in the bedroom but don’t know how to bring it up...
If you have a hard time wrapping your mouth around any of the words for sex acts or body parts...
If your partner has been uncomfortable with you talking about the sex you two have or don’t have...
This episode is for you.
We NEED to have this conversation about conversations about sex - how meta is that? - because in our puritanical-yet-sex-saturated culture, we have been taught that it’s not “nice” to talk about sex… but also that we’re supposed to have great sex… in the absence of talking about it!
We're going to talk about
How we change the world every time we talk openly about the s3x we really want
The 3 steps to successfully starting a conversation about physical intimacy
The 3 keys to listening well when your partner is telling you about their experience of s3x with you and their desires
How to ask for something different without hurt feelings
The six kinds of s3xual language and when you might want to use each one
And more.
Join the conversation by listening, then share your story or response inside our free Conscious Couples’ Circle on Mighty Networks.
"We dismantle oppressive systems when we talk openly and skillfully about sex. This is how we tear down our repressive body-numbing, live-in-our-heads culture."
- Michele Lisenbury Christensen
