When to talk about sex with someone new

Here’s exactly what to say

Hi there,

It doesn’t matter who you are or how sex positive you are: The reality is that sex complicates the dynamic between two people. And that’s not a bad thing — it just requires some navigation. 

When it comes to sleeping with someone new in your life, communication is everything. The problem is: People don’t talk about it. They don’t share their boundaries or expectations and end up getting attached prematurely to the wrong people. They end up compromising themselves and getting hurt. 

I’m on a mission to get people talking about it.

My approach might seem controversial, but I stand by it. It involves knowing and understanding yourself — and speaking up for yourself and your heart at a specific, key moment.
