I struggle to talk about sex

-

I’ve always found talking Q

about sex embarrassi­ng. It was never spoken about by my parents and my ex-husband found it very hard to discuss. Now I am with someone new and he talks about it all the time. But every time he brings it up I find myself cringing. Help. Name and address withheld A Sex is very much a personal thing, and talking about it can be embarrassi­ng, especially if you have come from a background where it was rarely discussed. But you have a chance with your new partner to change this pattern by opening up to him about how you feel. Start by telling him you are embarrasse­d and find it difficult to talk openly about sex. Even something that feels as small as this will open the door for you and your partner to discuss more.
