Talking about our feelings about sex is quite easy because most children had parents that discussed it easily and openly. Because so much of our sexual communication is direct, clear and verbal, there is little risk of anything being misunderstood. An important first step in trying to talk openly about sex is negotiating or agreeing on the vocabulary to be used. If a woman is interested in the man who is looking at her from across the room, she can communicate this by meeting his glance for a few seconds. Wives, rather than husbands, tend to give neutral messages.
Wives tend to set the emotional tone of the argument.
In new relationships, communication about sex is generally indirect and unclear. I am a college student who lives off campus in a house with three other female college students. We have noticed that our menstrual periods happen about the same time each month. One of my friends said she read somewhere that women who live together often experienced the same thing. Yes, this is true.
