Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a friend I have known for two years, and we have a friends with benefits arrangement. We engage in sexual activity about once a month since he lives in another town. I trust and feel comfortable with him. I am interested in taking more control during our encounters, and I believe he will appreciate it as well. However, I have never taken control in such a way before, and I am feeling a bit nervous about it. What steps or advice can you offer to help me navigate this?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

When it comes to sex, consider it as an avenue for expressing your feelings and sharing moments of intimacy. Be open about your desires and preferences with your partner. If you want to take control and believe he would be receptive to the idea, discuss it openly and go for it. Remember, it is an expression of your emotions and there is no need to be overly nervous about it.

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you.
