Welcome to the Sex Talks card deck!

These cards will help you and your partner have better sex, simply by talking about it openly! You’ll discover what you both need to feel open to intimacy, how to bring back that new relationship spark, and what makes sex amazing for each of you—and you’ll have lots of fun and laughter along the way. Before you know it, you’re both going to be feeling more playful, joyful, and in love. And ready to race into the bedroom!

We’ve experienced the power of these conversations in our own relationship, and we’re so excited for you to get started.

The cards are organized into five categories:

1. Acknowledgement: a.k.a. “Sex is a thing, and we have it.”
