Beginning sex can be both daunting and intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. With proper planning and communication in the bedroom, you can feel at ease as soon as you begin engaging.
Keep in mind that your partner's desire may change abruptly, so don't take rejection personally; they could simply be in an unexpectedly different mood on that particular day.
1. Know Yourself
Most people know what turns them on sexually, so it is essential that this information be shared with your partner. Furthermore, open discussions regarding sexuality can make both partners feel safer and closer. Some couples even take turns initiating intimacy.
If your partner doesn't initiate sexual relations, this could be for any number of reasons outside your control. They could be experiencing symptoms related to an illness which impairs their libido or they simply might not feel like initiating it at this time. Long-term couples frequently find themselves facing sexual dissatisfaction.
Through open dialogue and creative problem-solving techniques, it's possible to find solutions. Remember that just because someone may not want sex at any given moment doesn't mean they don't love you; simply show that you support their needs and wants and find other aspects of them attractive.
2. Know Your Partner
Understanding your partner's sexual needs and desires will allow you to initiate in an effective manner. Some partners might respond better to a subtle hint or some light flirtation; for others, a straight forward ask might work better.
Be mindful about when and how your approach will come across - is it suitable given their current circumstances or stage in their relationship? Some couples like to experiment with new ways of sexual interplay, like leaving flower petals leading directly into the bedroom or wearing costumes.
The key is using creativity that excites and excites both you and your partner while building anticipation; just be sure that communication remains open and honest throughout. Bear in mind that discussing sexual intimacy can be unnerving for both parties involved, so it is normal to feel anxious when broaching this subject. Furthermore, if your partner says they're not feeling it right now it doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on you; perhaps they simply need some space or emotional comfort you?
3. Know the Time
Initializing sexual relationships can feel like an enormously daring act. We worry about crossing our partner's boundaries or pressuring them into doing things they may not want - all valid concerns.
But this shouldn't prevent us from communicating our sexual desires to them. As an example, when your partner is feeling overwhelmed or fatigued it may not be best to ask them for sex - chances are they won't want to give you what you desire or if they do it will likely be in a rush and with little passion or fulfilment.
Instead, try setting the scene by sending flirty texts or emails during the day, cuddling naked in bed together in order to signal that you're both in the mood, or using nonverbal communication such as grabbing their hand or pressing against them to convey this message.
Doing this allows your partner to receive your ask without feeling defensive or guilty for not wanting to participate immediately and you can offer up an alternative experience suggestion that might better meet their needs if they reject you outright.
4. Know the Place
Even within long-term relationships, sexual desires can change over time and having open and clear communication about such shifts can help avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings when the urge strikes to get intimate.
Your partner should feel safe and relaxed before initiating any dramatic scene with them. Try pushing them against a wall while kissing them on the lips or sneaking up behind to give them a neck massage; use visual and physical stimuli to get their attention before initiating any dramatic situations. Remember, being able to initiate sexual intimacy in a healthy manner is an indication of emotional intimacy in any relationship.
Therefore, taking the initiative to do this in yours is important; but at the same time respect your partner's desire for privacy and intimacy when they express disinterest - rejection doesn't say anything negative about either party - you can always try again later!
5. Know the Feeling
Anxiety about sexual progress with your partner is normal, especially after some time has gone by since initiating sexual encounters. Starting to initiate sexual encounters can be both thrilling and risky; to successfully make progress happen again it's essential to be upfront and honest about what your desires are with each partner involved.

To address this situation head-on you both can make progress more quickly by being open with each other about them both being open about communicating your desires openly when initiating sex can make great progress toward intimacy between partners as it can prompt other moves along the same line if there hasn't been much sexual progress either way between them both!
