How do you initiate sex with your partner or partner(s)? Do you give them a look, do you send them a text, do you outright ask? Are you someone who always initiates sex? Never initiates sex? 

In this episode, I’ll be discussing research on initiating sex, why being rejected sexually is so devistating in a partnership, understanding why we initiate sex, communication styles around initiating sex, and finally tips in dealing with rejection with the communication tools to help you out. This part 2 of 2 — If you haven’t listened to Part 1, make sure to check it out — #7. The messages we receive about sex when we’re young Part 1 of 2.
