From behaviors to billboards, suggestions of sex and sexuality filter into our lives. Yet having the vocabulary for sex doesn’t always translate so seamlessly into comfortable conversations.
Especially when it’s about what we want from, and even during, sex.
But communication is part of having good sex. The willingness to talk about the kind of sex we have or want to have is a key skill.

By having these conversations, you and your partner’s relationship can have emotional, psychological, and mental benefits. Read on to learn what McCombs and other experts recommend when approaching this intimate topic.
