How do you bring it up to your partner without hurting their feelings? This question is a reflection of how uncomfortable most of us are with talking openly about sex. We don't have the experience doing it. We feel embarrassed and awkward and nervous, and so any sort of communication feels like a criticism. But here's the thing. There is nothing critical about this nightly makeout. You can say something like, hey, I saw this reel today. I listened to this podcast episode. They're not going to get defensive or upset. It's just all about the delivery.
