Often a question comes in people’s mind whether we should talk about pleasure with our partner. Some consider it right, while many say that it is against moral values, but recently sex educator and relationship expert Seema Anand has given her opinion on this.
He was asked whether it is right to talk “dirty” to his partner? On this he clearly said that such things should be talked about with the partner. According to Seema Anand, people call these dirty things because society has taught them to look at things to pleasure in a wrong light, whereas in reality these are things of pleasure and mutual connection.
Seema Anand says that I don’t know why people call it dirty things. Instead of this word, words of pleasure should be said. If two adult partners share their desires, likes and dislikes and feelings with mutual consent, then there is nothing wrong in it. The problem arises when society makes these topics taboo and openly discusses them as wrong.
Seema Anand also said that if you do not talk about pleasure with your partner, then with whom will you talk? In a healthy relationship, along with emotional connection, physical and mental connection is also necessary. In such a situation, talking openly can make the relationship stronger, provided both are comfortable and agreeable.
However, Seema Anand also made it clear that it is right to talk about pleasure, but there is a time and place for everything. Giving an example, he said that if someone talks like this while eating, then who will listen?
Talking about pleasure with your partner is appropriate only when both are comfortable in it. Any conversation without consent can create discomfort and distance. Therefore, it is important to understand each other’s boundaries and not try to impose anything on anyone. Talking about pleasure with your partner is neither wrong nor a matter of shame, if it is done with mutual consent, at the right time and in the right environment. Seema Anand’s statement has once again forced us to think whether we should still ignore things to pleasure by calling them ‘dirty’, or should we consider them as a part of a healthy relationship.
