Sex therapist Vanessa Marin says being quiet and passive during sex leaves your partner guessing if you're enjoying it and puts unfair pressure on them. Sex requires mutual participation and communication, not silence.

Is it okay to be Quiet and submissive during Sex? Here's my take As a professional sex therapist, put yourself in your partner's shoes. If you're being totally quiet and submissive, how is he supposed to know that you're enjoying yourself? If you're silent or not very active, it's understandable that your partner is worried that you're not really there in the moment enjoying being with him. It would be the same outside of the bedroom, too. Like, imagine going on a date with somebody who just sat there and didn't say or do anything. Or maybe they just said very simple things like have whatever you're having. Plus, being submissive without an explicit agreement between you and your partner basically puts all of the pressure on your partner to ensure that it's a good experience for both of you. And that's just not fair. The bottom line is that sex is a team sport, and it requires participation from both parties. Check out the caption for some practical tips to help you get more active and communicate.
