How do I get my partner to try something new?

At the base of reluctance is discomfort.  By making your partner comfortable you can decrease the anxiety they may feel.  Creating an environment of trust and relaxation can greatly improve your partner’s attitude toward a new experience. Have your lovers’ favorite sexy song playing, light candles, have relaxing and sensual aromas in the air, or anything you know that will help bring their guard down.  Loving communication is another way to open your partner’s mind.  By letting your partner know what your intentions are for the experience and allowing them the space to do the same, puts both of your minds in a place of trust and comfort.
