the anxiety-inducing frameworks of the "serious discussion," the bedroom, etc.
So when I developed my sexual communication workshop, I encouraged love letters. I
gave two suggested points of departure for a love letter:
1) Describe what happened during a sexual encounter you had together, with particular
emphasis on what your partner did that you really liked -- and what you liked about it. ("I
love it when you fuck me" is a great thing to say, but you give much more information to
your partner if you say "I love it when you fuck me from behind,” or even better, "I love
it when you fuck me from behind and it feels amazing when your balls hit my clit." [This
blog does not necessarily reflect the desires or encounters of Miss Clarisse Thorn. ])
2) Describe a fantasy you have. Bonus points if you explicitly put your partner in it. ("I
like to imagine you sinking your teeth into me until I scream." This blog does not
necessarily... oh, who am I kidding.)
Postscript: In the comments on this piece, a reader noted that they might feel anxious and
pressured if a partner described them doing something specific. I hadn't thought of this,
but I totally believe that it could be a problem. Certainly, I've sometimes had experiences
writing to a partner where I described him doing something and he thought it was
ridiculously hot... but I've also done it and had partners dislike it. I guess my final advice
is that -- as with all communication -- you'll want to consider the audience, and be ready
to apologize.

[storytime] Sex Communication Case Studies
I wrote this post in 2011, years after the events in my coming-out story, and a long time
after I'd done all the above research into communication tactics. By 2011, I'd picked up
lots of sexual and BDSM experience with a variety of partners. I had just written a post
about my most destructive past relationship; the post got a lot of readers and was
eventually cross-posted to Jezebel. I wanted to do something positive with all the
attention, so I decided to offer a productive counterpoint.
