Why Don’t We Ever Talk About What We Actually Want in Bed?

About this episode

A deep dive into one of the most consistent findings from our survey of over 1,000 married Christians: couples who can talk openly about sex report dramatically higher satisfaction than those who can't. Check out the show notes here for more details and links.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why so many couples stay silent about what they actually want in bed
  • The communication gap: satisfaction scores by comfort level across manual sex, oral sex, and mutual masturbation
  • Who is actually talking — and how many couples are stuck wanting to but don't know how
  • What openly discussing preferences actually does to sexual satisfaction
  • Why the gender picture is more surprising than you'd expect
  • Why the silence persists — and how it calcifies over time
  • A note on couples who don't discuss it and are doing fine anyway
  • How to start the conversation if you've been sitting on something unsaid
