Yes, No, Maybe So: A Sexual Inventory Stocklist
“Starting deep and honest communication about sex can be daunting, especially in areas which can be more loaded, tricky or where we feel vulnerable. Someone might ask what you do or don’t like, or what may or may not be okay with you, and you may find you — or a partner, when they’re asked — have a hard time knowing how to respond. It might be particularly tough to start these conversations if talking about sex openly and out loud is something you’ve never done. When sex is newer to us, we may not even have a sense of all there is to talk about. It can feel like being asked what you want to eat at a restaurant without having a menu to even know your options. We might also sometimes find ourselves feeling inclined to only say what we think a partner wants to hear, or only responding to what they bring up rather than putting our own stuff on the table and initiating our own questions.”
So useful!
