How open are you with your partner with your sexual preferences?

Contributor: WD40watcher WD40watcher
At first I was more reserved with my preferences, but since I've started to be more vocal I feel like our sex lives have gotten alot better. She is still a bit "shy", but I feel that if we learn each others bodies then we will both enjoy our time together.

Our sexual communication has gone way up since we discovered our love of toys and experimenting with them. Watching porn helped helped ease into the communications level, we can and do tell each other everything that we want, fantasies and how things feel, in great detail.

Things are getting better - we're both getting better at verbalizing what we'd like.

We communicate, but it's usually me telling him what I want, my husband's not that picky.

We usually tend to figure it out along the way, but if there's something in particular that I really like or don't like, I'll say so.

You both have to be honest or things get stale.

me and my wife have been really good about opening up to each other since we started hanging out on eden. We have realized that there is a lot that both of us want out of our sex lives and know that we have to keep things spiced up, so we have been trying to be more vocal with each other.

I have always been really open and my partner told me that he really appreciates that. We both have always been very open about what we want and it has brought us much closer I think.

We're fairly open, but things are a bit awkward sometimes still.

I have in the past mention things I want to do or try but he has excuses why we can't. Now I don't bother, there is no point in telling him anything.

We have learned some really great communication techniques that allow us both to express things we'd like to try or not try. Being able to talk so openly and freely makes us feel a lot closer to each other.

We also understand that neither of us needs to feel obligated or compelled to try it if we really don't want to - but so far, that hasn't happened since we both are pretty open and definitely want to please each other in that department.

We try to be a little subtle at times to be teasing. We rarely say what we want without any pretense.

The longer you are together, the automatic and natural it becomes; till you both know exactly what the other wants without words.

It's a work in progress. I'm trying to help him get more vocal about his wants, but it's hard when all he wants to do is make me happy. Any suggestions?

I am very open about everything, she tends to be on the shy side. Not sure why she is.

I can relate. I don't know why my girlfriend is still shy. We know each other so well that I'd think she'd be comfortable around me with everything.

I'm always slow to speak up at the beginning of a relationship but after I really get to know the person we tend to find out everything about each other in a sexual way or when something comes up it is mentioned right away. It is much more enjoyable for you and your partner when communication is open

It does take time. We've changed over time.

One thing that my girlfriend and I pride ourselves in is our ability to talk about sex and what we want and expect from the other. Keeping communication open about and during sex has made our relationship stronger.
