It is healthy to discuss sex, even in a professional capacity, with a counsellor or mentor.</li>\r\n<li>The best way of relaxing a client when it comes to talking about sex, is to have a confident professional driving the conversation, normalising the terminology until it becomes second nature.</li>\r\n<li>Many parents believe that if they discuss sex, it will encourage them to do it from an early age. Studies have shown that this isn't the case, though.</li>\r\n<li>There is nothing wrong with exploring yourself in order to best discover the things you like and dislike. We are all unique, and we all have different needs. Communicate this to your partner. Sex is a two way experience.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p><strong>BEST MOMENTS </strong></p>\r\n<p><em>'Sex is a big part of life'</em></p>\r\n<p><em>'Why is it so taboo?
