Contrary to popular opinions, ‘shall we do it?’ is not the sex talk you need to have with your partner. Here is why and how having the ‘talk’ will help!
Are you an urban Indian, looking for a partner? Do you talk about sex? If no, why not? Psychology says, the basic physiological needs of a human are- air, food, water, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep and… SEX.
Did you know that in almost three-fourth of the relationships, the ‘sex talk’ does not happen! Why did I quote sex talk? Because it is not as normal as it should be.
We live in a world where we have made so much progress in urbanisation, industrialisation. And we also have platforms for individuals to find their matches, yet we still avoid talking about sex!
Casual and committed are two vastly different types of relationships which depend on the choice and relationship goals of the partners. However, different they as may be, discussing physical intimacy is extremely important.
In a relationship, you talk about your hobbies, goals, aspirations and family openly since these lay a foundation to know your partner. But an equally important factor is your physical intimacy. It needs to be discussed with the same normalcy and is as important as knowing your partner’s goals or hobbies.
Whether casual or committed, all kinds of relationships require discussions on important topics, and physical intimacy is one of them. The sooner you do it, the better.
We live in an era where global matchmaking platforms for dating are becoming widely popular. Thus, there is a greater need to discuss physical intimacy before getting into a committed relationship.
If you think knowing a person’s personal and professional goals are the only things to know while choosing your partner, maybe you are wrong. Not discussing physical intimacy with your partner before getting into a committed relationship may cause problems in the long run.
Let’s see why:
Say, you’ve discussed the aspects of physical intimacy with your partner and discovered that their sex drive is different than yours. Well, first of all, congratulations, for having taken the major step in a committed relationship.
Secondly, it is completely alright. Having a different sexual drive does not mean that you are incompatible. It only means that you are in an honest relationship.
Here are some tips that you may like to consider.
For a committed relationship, talking about your sex drive should be among your top priorities. Discussing physical intimacy is an important step in your relationship and missing a step leads to falling off the stairs!
If you have discussed your sex drive with your partner, kudos to you!
But if not, here you go!

Most of my women clients are caregivers—as mothers, wives and daughters. And so, they tend to feel guilty about their ambitions. Belief in themselves is hard to come by.

After the May 2022 split verdict on marital rape by the Delhi High Court, the case has gone to the Supreme Court, which will hear it on 21st March 2023.
India’s rape laws have undergone many changes, especially after the 2012’s Nirbhaya Case. Following this case, India saw a massive protest demanding stringent rape laws. Within one year, in 2013, an amendment was welcomed that further changed the rape laws.
However, marital rape continues to remain a taboo term due to its legal treatment. Rape laws in India are governed under Section 375 of the IPC. Exception 2 of Section 375, however, does not recognise marital rape as a crime.
To change this, a petition to criminalize marital rape was filed by a nonprofit called the RIT Foundation, which sought to strike down Exception 2 of IPC Section 375. On January 2, 2022, the day-to-day hearings of the case began. On May 11, 2022, the Delhi High Court handed down a Split Verdict on Marital Rape. This petition has now been taken to the Supreme Court, listed for 21 March 2023.
