Sexual Communication
By James Hughes
With a framework and some simple guidelines, you can learn to talk about what you enjoy, what you like, what you don’t like, what you want, how where and when you want to be touched, kissed, etc.Most of our partners want to pleasure us; they don’t always know how, they don’t know how to ask, or what to ask. Most of us want to be beautifully, wonderfully satisfied. We don’t know how to ask for what we need.It’s seemingly so simple. What it means is far from simple. It’s vital to intimacy, to connection, to being heard and acknowledged, to know that you’re important, that your needs matter. It helps open other paths of communication. It teaches you to be vulnerable. It gives you the courage and the tools to talk about other things. It creates safety.Learning to talk about your pleasure needs is HUGE!It shows how our sexuality is connected to every aspect of our selves, and how, as we heal and enhance this, so much else can change with it.
Let’s begin with intention.
Think about the intention you bring to this; it helps you hold the purpose of communication clear. It creates safety. It opens the channels of listening and of being heard. Create an intention that’s about giving and receiving greater pleasure, about learning what your partner wants, understanding their body better, being more receptive to their guidance, etc. When you can hold this intention you become more patient; you put your ego aside, you listen. There’s a purpose to the communication. Then it’s important to have a learning session. That’s what it’s about. Exploring, talking, trying things. It might not be about orgasm. It may only be for one of you. The purpose is to learn something about pleasure, touch, etc. You’re coming together for a purpose. It’s helpful for this and often makes it easier, to set boundaries. This is what we’re going to do.
Let me give you an example of this, which is also a good way to start learning about each other.
Start gently, build the space, build the safety, allow it to grow and deepen. Trying to go from no or very little communication in one step may be heading for failure. Build a foundation; it’ll serve you well in the long term.Use your hands to begin with, touching your partner’s hand.
It’s safe; it’s sensual, it allows you to practice how to communicate about touch.
There are two ways to do this.
The first, the person receiving the touch guides you. There are eight magic words for sensation communication. Harder, faster, slower, softer, left, right, up and down. Let your partner tell you how they would like their hand to be touched. The more specific you are, the easier it is. Keep guiding them until it’s exactly what you want. A little slower, a little slower, that’s it!The second way is for you to ask questions about what your partner wants. The easiest way to do this is to ask questions that have a yes or no answer. Is this good, should I do it a little harder, a little faster… It’s that easy!And when you can do it on each other’s hands, you can slowly go further and deeper and make it more intimate. It sets the foundation for sharing more about different aspects of sex. It takes courage to take the first step, to ask for what you want. The possibilities it holds are huge and important elements in the journey to sexual freedom and authenticity. So, take a deep breath…Credit: The Good Men Project
