Let's Talk About Sex (So We Can Enjoy It)
LatestCommunicating about and during sex is imperative if you don’t want to get hurt (or get an STD), but it’s also directly (and unsurprisingly) linked to sexual satisfaction, according to new research/something I’m pretty sure Miranda once experienced on Sex and the City.
Study researcher Elizabeth Babin, an expert on health communication at Cleveland State University in Ohio, questioned over 200 people on topics such as how they talked (and moaned) to each other during sex, how confident they were in their sexual prowess, and how anxious it made them feel to talk about doing it. She found that apprehensive people were less likely to have positive sexual experiences and that chillness and self-confidence were associated with more communication during sex, which was, in turn, associated with more sexual satisfaction.
