The mainstream media has always shown us the love connection of candlelight dinners and snugly cuddles, but Two and A Half Men has taught us the importance of communication in the bedroom. The unclear expectations, the missing conversations around STIs, the painful after-sex ghosting, and the heartbreak brings to a valuable lesson of ‘the bedroom talk.’
LET’S START WITH WHAT IS A BEDROOM TALK?
While it can imply any conversation happening in your bedroom, we say this conversation is all about intimacy and pleasure-related talk with your partner(s). Yes, it includes the moaning and screaming instructions during sex but, the bedroom talk is so much more than that- sharing likes and dislikes, exploring fantasies, discussing relationship expectations, sexual feedback, and everything in between. However, conditioned to see sex in thralls of shame and discomfort, many couples hesitate to talk about sex with their partner. We seek stability in our relationships, so afraid of our partners’ susceptibility to the discussion about sex, lack of satisfaction, or change in desire- we choose not to rock the boat.
