Slowing Down and Being Patient

One key recommendation for couples to enhance their sexual connection is to slow down and be patient. Many individuals who have grown up in conservative cultures or experienced shame and fear around sexuality often feel the pressure to rush into sexual experiences. However, the female body especially requires time to become aroused and comfortable. By pacing oneself and checking in with one's own body, both partners can have a more enjoyable and safe experience.
