It would seem that there can be no embarrassment in front of an intimate partner, and yet women are often ashamed to ask even the most important questions on which their health depends. We talked with sexologist Irina Nim, who told us what her clients most often keep silent about in intimate communication with a man.
Contraception issues
Often a woman cannot ask what types of contraception a man prefers. “A woman may even refuse protection in principle if she does not find the strength to ask a man which condoms are suitable for him,” says Irina. In any case, our expert recommends that women always have barrier contraception with them in order to offer it to a man at the right time, thereby taking the initiative and taking care of their health.
Preferences
Not every woman can openly discuss sexual preferences, including her own, with her man. “Sometimes sexual preferences can be a surprise for a woman, and not always pleasant, and sometimes dangerous,” comments the sexologist.

Questions about where sex will take place “ A woman’s comfort and safety are directly related to arousal, so it is extremely important to agree with a man where and how intimacy will take place,” says Irina. You should not agree to have sex in a public place if such experiments cause you to panic, such an experience will not end well.
