Sexual Communication

Interesting that we dont often talk openly about the kinds of communcation we use between sexual partners. Just like all other forms of communication there are specific ways that we speak ( or dont speak), touch, look, invade/engage in other peoples space etcetc:

I have just been reading a great little article on communicating in sexual health.(Uni of Sydney course notes) It quotes a beatiful passage from the book Urge by G. Morrissey ( 2002) (pg 112-113)

" Whispering sweet nothings, dirty talk, groaning, shouting his/her name, yes yes yes, are all good forms of communication, but they arent particularly helpful in terms of giving good head. If something isnt working for you SPEAK UP! Or if you are wondering whether what you are doing is hitting hte right spot, Ask."

This just made me wonder? When we teach young people about sexual health and relationships, should we also be teaching about how to communicate in a sexual situation??
