Why is it so hard to talk about sex, even with the person who regularly sees you naked?

You know communication is important in a relationship, but you just don’t know how to get started with such a sensitive subject. Maybe you’ve never talked about sex at all, and the thought of it makes your palms sweat. Or you’re feeling so disconnected from your partner that sex is the last thing on your mind. Maybe you’re too scared to be honest about what you really want. Or you have no freaking clue what you want, so you’re not sure how to tell your partner anything helpful!

Sex Talks “helps us overcome the myths that drag us down” (John Gottman, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work). Together, sex therapist Vanessa Marin and her husband, Xander, show you that the best thing you can do for your sex life doesn’t even involve taking off your clothes.

Sex Talks covers the five essential conversations every couple needs to have:
1. Acknowledgement: a.k.a. “Sex is a thing, and we have it.”
2. Connection: a.k.a. “What do we need to feel connected to each other?”
3. Desire: a.k.a. “What do we each need to get turned on?”
4. Pleasure: a.k.a. “What do we each need to feel good?”
5. Exploration: a.k.a. “What should we try next?”

With gripping storytelling and an intimate peek at what really goes on behind other couples’ closed bedroom doors, Vanessa and Xander share their successful advice that has already helped thousands of clients. Sex Talks “redefines what it means to have great sex” (Logan Ury, author of How to Not Die Alone), providing the sex education you wish you’d had, plus the tried-and-tested tools you need to create the sex life of your wildest dreams.

I learned so much through out this book and found out some of the reasons I act the way that I do. Embarrassment, fear of sharing my needs, being uncomfortable with my own body. I really needed this!

I love their honesty how supportive Xander and Vanessa are

Really liked this one.
I only think it is way too slow at the beginning. When it gets closer to the actual talks, it get exciting and you want to read (listen) more and more.

Well structrured, full of great tips and insights.

At this point in my marriage, our sex life is "good". Much better than its ever been. But I wanted to keep that good energy flowing, and find new ways to keep up the momentum and build a stronger emotional connection. This book gives extremely practical tips you can implement each and everyday. There's literally no reason why married couples shouldn't have a wonderful sex life! It's not the be all end all sex book. Especially for those that struggle with serious trauma, resentment, or who are on the verge of divorce. But it's a good place to start if you have a foundation in place. Or even if you want a relationship but are single and trying to work through your own sexual shame and insecurities. I started with the Pillow Talks podcast and it led me to this book! I am ever so grateful I took the time to read the hard copy at the same time as I listened to it. My husband is also listening to it. And it had been really instrumental in getting us to talk about sex more. I can't recommend this book enough!

wow, just wow!
