How to Know You’re Good in Bed
When we do something, we like to know if we’re good at it and if so how to improve further. Yet when it comes to sex, many people feel shy and embarrassed talking about it much less ask for feedback.
Here are the 10 Signs you’re an amazing sex partner!
1. You communicate about sex well
You appreciate the role of sexual communication before, after and during sex, and do so without being long-winded and belabouring your point.
2. You’re open to trying new things
You’re open to your partner proposing new things, and you also take a proactive role in expressing your desire to try new things without shaming or guilt-tripping the other.
3. You respect boundaries and consent
You don’t take any “no” personally, but instead remain open and curious about supporting your partner’s sexual evolution.
4. You’re generous in bed
You encouraged both of you to take all the time needed, because sex is meant to be fun, enjoyable, and pleasurable.
5. You are ready to adapt and adjust
You treat each person as the individual that they are – and you ask questions, explore, and focus on their individual preferences.
6. You feel comfortable having sex with lights on
You know that when you’re comfortable with yourself, your partner will be more likely to be comfortable with you.
7. You don’t imitate others
You don’t allow yourself to be intimidated or insecure by others and are comfortable in your own skin.
8. You feel sexually confident
You know what, when and how to apply speed, pressure, rhythm and in short, you know what you’re doing when interacting with your sexual partner.
9. You don’t get intimidated by sex toys
You welcome sexual aids and sexual variety because they are rightly only there to support your sexual expression does not replace you.
10. You’ve been told this by more than one sexual partner
They tell it to you because they feel it’s true – no need to second guessing and doubt them. It’s their opinion and it’s meant to be a compliment.
