Talking about
Talking about sex can be a great way of getting 'in the mood'. Good communication between partners also makes for better, safer sex.
Then there are the things we all really should talk about - like using protection or getting tested.
Find ideas on how to get started talking here.
Turn ons
Sharing sexy chat with your partner about turn-ons is a great way to get started talking about sex – and it could improve your experience of sex together.
Turn offs
Just as important as talking about what turns you on is talking about what turns you off.
Using protection
The thought of talking about using protection can be off-putting but it needn't be a passion-killer.
Testing
Talking to your partner about getting a test for sexually transmitted infections (STI) could be the most important conversation you ever have.
Getting pregnant
It's a good idea to talk through with your partner what you'll do if one of you gets pregnant.
