Don't Pressure for Immediate Answers
Some questions may require time to think about. Give your partner space to process and respond when they're ready.
Don't Focus Only on Physical Aspects
Intimacy includes emotional, mental, and spiritual connection. Don't limit conversations to just physical desires or techniques.
