Intimacy deepens the better that you know someone, and pleasure is easier to access when you\u2019re having honest conversations about sex and life in general.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking about sex, no matter how fun it is, can be daunting.\u00a0 So we\u2019re here to offer some inspiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re looking to spice things up with a long-term boo or want to start off on the right foot with a new fling \u2013 we\u2019ve got some conversation starters sure to take your sex life to the next level!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Emotional Relay<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional vulnerability is sexy! Have you had those moments where you dump your heart and soul into someone and all of a sudden you\u2019re so much more present with them? That\u2019s because you tend to feel more comfortable sexually when you\u2019re being open and honest with your partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you certainly don\u2019t need to unload all your baggage to have great sex with someone, it can help connect you and make you feel like there are fewer barriers between you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, different people bring different things into your life. Some partners may be there just for sex. While some you may want to deepen your relationship with. These are the dynamics where it\u2019s helpful to share what\u2019s on your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversations like talking about past relationships, what you want out of your relationship, and things that may hold you back sexually or emotionally can all help deepen your connection \u2013 and make the sex that much better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tune In To My Fantasies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all have fantasies. Sexy daydreams and naughty places that we drift off to. Maybe they\u2019re with past partners, celebrities, or even with your current partner. Fantasies are normal, and certainly nothing to be ashamed about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it can be incredibly sexy to share these fantasies with your sexual partners. Have you always <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/tips-for-having-a-successful-threesome\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dreamed of having a threesome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? What other people are involved? What sort of *activities* do you get into? What role does your partner play in this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, they\u2019re not entitled to know every thought that\u2019s going through your mind. You can share however much or little you want to share with them. You can also tweak the plot if need be, maybe by replacing your celebrity crush and making your partner your co-star in this scene. Who knows? Maybe they\u2019ll even be able to make your dreams come true.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Share Your Sex Bucket List<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have one yet, it\u2019s time to make a sex bucket list. You can probably figure out what this is, but a sex bucket list is a list of sexual activities that you would love to try some time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some fun ideas to get you started:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have sex while on a hike.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/shibari\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try rope bondage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to a swinger\u2019s party.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to a sex toy shop with your partner and have a little shopping spree.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiment with temperature play.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now don\u2019t keep this list all to yourself! Make a fun activity out of it by taking turns reading yours and your partner\u2019s lists. Not only is this a great sexy conversation starter, you may get to learn new things about your sexual partner, and hopefully get some inspiration to keep in your back pocket. You can even make a list together \u2013 hot!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sexual Words of Affirmation\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who doesn\u2019t love to be buttered up a bit? If your sweetie has been getting straight A\u2019s, it\u2019s time to tell them what a great student they\u2019ve been.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know what\u2019s a huge turn on to hear? Positive feedback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applauding your partner for what they\u2019ve been doing right in the bedroom not only gives their ego a nice boost, it also encourages them to keep doing that thing. Say it be whispering in their ear with intermittent kisses and they might just go back in for extra credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Words of affirmation don\u2019t just have to be about praising all their good deeds. You can also gush about how much you love their calves, their belly, or other unmentionables. Just kidding, tell them you love their cock or pussy or whatever your word of choice is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s Quality and Quantity<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve got some inspiration, hopefully the ideas are flowing, and you\u2019re feeling ready to put these prompts to the test. Remember that in this case, quality and quantity both count.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does that mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality refers to the level of honesty and clarity that you have with your partner. Did you really share what was on your mind? Were you actively listening when they were giving you feedback or talking about their fantasies? Quality means the way you show up for each other and your ability to maintain communication around one of the biggest parts of a relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantity is how often these conversations are taking place. Life happens, we get it, so, by no means will we put a specific number on it. How much you\u2019re talking about sex depends on your life, your relationship, what you have space for, and what the relationship needs to grow and get juicier. It also means having these conversations at the right time, aka when you both have the emotional capacity to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Communication Can Be Tricky<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re having a hard time talking to your partner about sex, even if it\u2019s the fun-light hearted parts of it, know that many people experience this problem. You are worthy of having your desires heard and met, and of being able to have honest conversations with your sexual partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need some extra support, you may want to consider <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">going to a sex therapist <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or another mental health provider to help give you more communication tools.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sexual chemistry starts in the brain.
