Sex advice with Suzi Godson: My wife likes me to stay silent during sex

Female sexual satisfaction is more complex and some women develop idiosyncratic strategies to coax orgasm, says Suzi Godson.

Q. I like to tell my wife how I feel during sex, but she doesn’t like it. She tends to get annoyed and asks me to stop talking. Does it indicate a lack of intimacy, that she does not want to express her desires? How do we bridge this gap in our preferences?

A. There could be any number of reasons why your wife prefers silent sex, but I’m pretty sure that lack of intimacy isn’t one of them.
