They mentioned the four basics of sexual communi- cation: to negotiate suc- cessfully each individual act of intercourse so that it's satisfying for the Cou- ple: when, where and how frequently does the couple have sex; balancing sexual desires with their personal relationship and controlling procreation by a method of contraception acceptable to both. No steadfast rules exist for sexual behavior and a single parent can range from having no sex to be- ing promiscuous, he said. Communication also plays an Important role in a sex- ual relationship. A partner may say one message but imply another, leading to confusion. Verbal and non- verbal conversation during the sex act is important. and a couple should talk about sex and how they feel following intercourse. they said. To possess a sense of sexual well-being, a part- ner should be able to sur- vive without constant at- tention from the other part- ner, he should believe in his own self-worth and he should be able to relate to his partner what he or she prefers. he said.
