In “sex-tip” magazine articles from Cosmopolitan to Playboy, or books by sex experts, most sexual advice available to couples overlooks one small idea that research shows has a big impact on a couple’s sexual satisfaction: sexual communication. As a couple of sex researchers (pun intended) an licensed marriage and family therapists, Dr. Rebecca Lucero Jones and her husband Dr. Adam Jones have published several papers on sexual communication in committed couples, and they even started a podcast to make our work more accessible to the public. As sex therapists and researchers, couples are often surprised to find that this couple's work focuses less on suggesting new sex positions, sex toys, or finding the right contraceptive, and more on helping couples communicate differently about sex. In this TEDxTWU talk, they address the common misconception by clinicians and couples that improving general communication skills translates to the bedroom and highlight how sexual communication is a distinct skill that sexually satisfied couples possess, sharing research-based strategies that couples can use to develop sexual communication skills and improve their sex life. Dr. Rebecca Lucero Jones and Dr. Adam Jones are a dynamic duo of marriage and family therapists, and in addition to their professional partnership, they are happily married to each other. As professors at Texas Woman’s University in the School of Human Sciences, they bring a wealth of expertise to their work on sexual communication in couples. Together, they host the engaging podcast Keeping it up with the Joneses, where they delve into their published research on sexual communication within committed relationships, offering valuable insights and research-based guidance for couples. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
