Why is good communication a must in a healthy sexual relationship?

• Good communication helps you know what your partner likes and dislikes.
• It helps to know one another’s sexual history.
• You can talk about the different ways to protect yourselves.
• Once you’ve talked about your limits and protection, the real fun begins.
• Many people find that talking about sex beforehand can be sexy.
• You can share fantasies and things you want to try.
• Communication is the best sexual technique – the best way for both parties to get what they want from the sexual relationship.
