Is it okay to talk about sexual preferences before sex with someone you started dating?

Or is it a turn off?

Superb Opinion

  • It’s more than OK. it’s important to talk about it if you are hoping for a long term relationship. You don’t want to be six months into a relationship, then find out that your partner won’t give head or isn’t into spanking or that he has a strong desire for something you are unwilling to do. You don’t have to get into a lot of detail but you want to get a general idea of sexual compatibility.

  • I think it's a good idea to discuss somethings before sex, it doesn't have to ve a full range of kinks etc, but at the minimum it should include boundaries. More discussions can take place as your sex life develops and you become more comfortable with each other.
    Personally I have no objection to a partber laying it all out in the open before sex.

  • It's not just okay, it's strongly recommended!

  • At some point in a relationship the sex question needs to get discussed.

    within that conversation is preferences, limits, boundaries etc.

    it’s a good healthy way to do things and saves problems later on

  • I'd wait `til the subject comes up. Until then, you don''t even know if there's GONNA BE sex!! Better to let it come up than to scare her off.

  • It's actually a good idea, usually the topic will bridge into birth control, and protection which has to happen anyway.

  • I think it's mandatory if you're going to have sex with someone.

  • I have to talk about it because I'm so rough and mean with certain types (if she's average or below average looking I'm EXTRA rough).

  • Most men are more okay with it than women.

  • Great and good way to start or carry on a relationship.
    I find it nice, erotic and intimate. It also shows responsiblity and maturity

  • I think that’s good

  • I believe it should not be talked about before the first time.

  • I think that's a must lol. It allows you to set expectations and discover what each other likes or would like to try. Communication is key after all.

  • It’s good to learn about each other. Just make a friendship foundation first. You want to know you like each other for who you/they are above anything else.

  • That would be ideal actually.

  • It’s awesome…. Few do it though.

  • It’s not a turnoff at all. I just think it’s something that becomes much easier to talk about once the deed has already been done.


  • No be open with your preferences is a turn on

  • It's fine. Good for people to know early on.

  • To me if a Woman want talk to me about sex then she doesn't truly love me or for me maybe she got to much going on up there an if that is so an I can't get here to brake that fast for me then I'm done.
    Yes for me it is.
    God Bless

  • the fact is, if the woman brings it up it will be fine. If the man brings it up you risk creeping her out

  • I think it's good to know.
