Successful intimate communication — talking with your partner about your sexual relationship — requires more attention and focus than most of us give to it. It’s a high-intensity, high-stakes interaction with lots of feelings on the line. Too much of the time, we slide away from facing squarely this very important conversation.

I’ve written two short, thought-provoking articles on my blog at DavidYarianPhd.com:

Do You Have a Dysfunctional Intimate Communication Style?  — which describes a number of the ways in which these special conversations go wrong;

Optimal Intimate Communication, which suggests some approaches for getting these conversations right.

I hope you check out these articles. Stay posted, I’m sure I’ll be writing more on this important topic.
