Preemptively experimenting with sex life?

I think whether TTC or not, communication is so important. I was someone who never really felt comfortable talking to my husband about what I like, don't like, want more of, don't want. However, about 8 years into our relationship I just... started talking to him about it.

The more we both talked the better things got and the more open we have been to trying new things and learning (and fumbling lol) through it together. I think the best place to start is asking what he enjoys and telling him what you enjoy - be honest! Then maybe come to a point where you both talk about something that you'd both feel comfortable doing! I'd imagine one of you might have a thought or two on something to try without getting too intense at first. My husband was so receptive. He knows I have a lower sex drive, so he really listened and wanted to try things so we could keep things fun for both of us and both enjoy ourselves.

It'll feel weird to just bring it up if you're not open about it usually, but once you start talking it gets easier. Talking about everything wiyh my husband was an amazing decision in hindsight 2 years later. Hope you have the same experience! Also, don't be afraid to chuckle in the moment if you need to ;) sometimes things get silly and that's okay! Haha have fun!
