Sex, desires and fantasies are life-affirming act, one of the most intimate things you can do with another person. But talking about it? So much harder!

The good news is, at any stage in your life, you’ll be happier if you open up. Talking to your partner about sexual fantasies or desires can be an important and healthy conversation for your relationship. Choose a comfortable and private setting, express that you want an open and non-judgmental discussion, and use "I" statements to communicate your feelings and desires. Listen actively to your partner's responses and be respectful of their feelings as well.

Remember, clear communication, mutual consent, and understanding are key to having a successful conversation about sexual fantasies.
