25. Connection: Men

26. ResponsivenessWhen you openly tell your husband what you desire and what feels good, you instantly put yourself into an active role as opposed to a responsive one. Verbal feedback is crucial to your pleasure. It helps to develop your own sexual language. You should try to find a new way to let your husband know what feels great in a way that's comfortable for you. It might be words, it might be moans, but figure out how to let him know you're loving every minute of it or at least which minutes you're loving.

27. Initiation: MenIf your husband is always the one to start things up, eventually he'll wonder, 'Why doesn't she ever initiate lovemaking? Doesn't she want me anymore? A man wants nothing more than to know he's sexually desirable to you that you want him like crazy. Guys chronically complain that they always have to initiate sex. When you take the lead, you're explicitly telling him that you love to spend time with him - it immediately eliminates the guesswork for your guy. What's more, when you approach him, you're in the driver's seat. Too many women let men call the sexual shots between the sheets. Being the initiator gives you an opportunity to set the tone and the pace.
