Have you ever been at a complete loss when your partner asks, “what do you like in bed”?

Like many people you may draw a blank when asked this question.  The reason why is that being put on the spot about one’s likes and dislikes can be difficult.  It’s a top down question.  There is an expectation that the mind somehow knows what the body likes.  And this can be especially difficult to answer when it comes to sex.

A better technique is to try a few things and let the body inform the mind – a bottom up approach. When you experience pleasure in the body the mind then has a reference point. 

I explain this technique a little more in the video below.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Best,
