3 Significant Elements Of A Healthy Sexual Relationship

It’s a type of connection that feels both physically and emotionally fulfilling. It’s not about checking off boxes on a list of “wants” or “needs” in terms of the frequency or the type of sex you are having.

Therefore if you are the type of person who loves to get a bit kinky and desires to roleplay or you don’t love a certain sex position, it is your prerogative to say so. A healthy relationship should be playful, fun and intimate. You and your partner enjoy it and feel comfortable sharing with each other what works and what doesn’t work for you.

Open Communication Is The Key

Open communication is a key element to the success of a relationship. Sexual partners should be safe when sharing with their partners about their sexual desires without fearing to be judged. It is part of maintaining a liberated attitude toward sex that’s free from shame.

This means that we should feel confident about setting boundaries and our concerns without fearing that our partners will shun us. After all, we wouldn’t want to share a fantasy with a partner who will laugh at us, say something derisive or judge us. You should be comfortable sharing your fantasies with your partner. If they make you feel bad about bedroom activities or sex positions that you enjoy consider that a huge red flag.

Maintain Respect In Your Relationship

Respect is important in creating a healthy relationship that’s based on intimacy and trust. Showing respect involves showing each other consideration and kindness. It also refers to honouring one another’s boundaries.

It is empowering to know that your partner values you. It allows you to be most authentic more comfortably. When our partners make us feel respected we can openly tell them what is bothering us or what we feel about them without feeling like our partners might reject us.
