Common Mistakes Couples Make When Communicating About Sex

Communication is the #1 best way to improve a couple’s sex life, but it’s also the hardest skillset to improve in your relationship and I’ll tell you why. Here are the brief notes - watch my video for the full interview!

Assumptions – the biggest barrier to creating solutions in your relationship. Assumptions are the termites of any type of relationship, especially a physically intimate relationship.

Communication loop of doom – Healthy conversations about intimacy have never been learned or practiced so when there’s a crisis you begin to talk about it and make promises for change, but most people don’t know how to change sexual behaviors so begins to cycle of communication – lack of action – frustration- back to communication.

Seeking help - placing the importance of the work on just one partner – it’s a couple’s issue and should be worked on together.

Emotional intelligence – Feeling shame or guilt around sexuality can cause an underdevelopment in expressing emotions in a responsive way. A lot of people become reactionary when talking about feelings around sex. Reacting is quick while responding is a slower approach to conflict resolution.
