One of the most important parts of a healthy and exciting sex life is learning how to communicate your desires and your boundaries. But for many people, talking about sex can feel awkward, vulnerable, or intimidating — especially when we’re not fully sure what we want ourselves.
That’s where the Yes / No / Maybe Game comes in.
The ‘no game’, the ‘yes/no game’ and the ‘yes/no/maybe’ games are not the most playful or erotic games, but they are some of the most important. Sexologist Alice Child uses them with every single client at some point in our work together, so it makes sense for them to be the first game in Pillow Play.
These games will help you:
- Practice asking for what you want
- Practice asserting your own boundaries / say no without fear of repercussions
- Learn how to hear a no without getting upset / rejected / defensive
- Learn how to only say ‘yes!’ when you truly feel it (your embodied consent!)
- Practice chatting about new fantasies or sexual ideas together with zero pressure or
- expectation
These are vital skills for trying new things in the bedroom, talking about what you like, and navigating things like mismatched libido.
Be warned - these games may seem simple, but it’s very common for emotions to come up. Go gently with each other and take your time. Please book in a session for more support.
