Tips when Talking to Your Online Date About Sex Life

Filed under Online dating tips, February 20th, 2010 by pompano

When you get involved with an online date, there always seems to be a tad of uneasiness when it comes to conversations, especially when it comes to certain topics that are more difficult to discuss. A good example of such a topic would be about sex life. Bringing up the topic of intimacy – whether past, present, or future – can potentially make your online date feel uncomfortable. Still, it is important to discuss sex life and intimacy if you want to be in a serious relationship with your online partner. If you have an online partner and you want to share a deeper, more meaningful relationship, then you may want to follow some of these tips on discussing intimacy:

Make sure you and your online date are comfortable with each other

Perhaps the most important consideration to keep in mind is that you want both yourself and your date to be comfortable in conversation. It would be rather awkward to discuss such a deep and meaningful topic if you and your partner hardly know each other or if you are still uncomfortable talking with one another. Try to spend some time getting to know each other before discussing topics such as sex life or intimacy. Without taking the time to get to know one another, you may easily scare off or send the wrong impression to your online partner, especially with such a touchy topic that may have repercussions if not handled carefully.

Wait for a good time to bring up the topic

Another thing to consider is your timing. It will not be very beneficial to start off a conversation talking about something as serious as one’s sex life. As the saying goes, timing is everything. Take heed and wait for the right timing to bring up the topic about intimacy or sex life. If you are truly intent on discussing the topic, then you may want to think of some questions that you can ask to steer your conversation in the topical direction that you want. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to let the conversation and your relationship take their natural course. Instead of trying to choreograph or plan your conversation to get to the topic of sex and intimacy, maybe you should just wait for the topic to come up in your natural dialogue. At least then, you would know that the timing is natural and that there is nothing to feel ashamed or anxious about.
