This page will contain information and links about navigating acts of sexual intimacy as a nonbinary person, or as the partner of a nonbinary person.
Tips
- Though certain sexual acts may be traditionally associated with a binary gender, or with femininity/masulinity, this is not inherent.
- Communication before, during, and after sex is vital. For example:
- Make it clear what acts you are comfortable with, and which ones you do not want to do. Consider working on a "Yes/No/Maybe" list for yourself and your partner(s).
- Let your partner(s) know if there are certain words (for anatomical parts, terms of endearment, etc) that you are comfortable with or not.
- Let your partner(s) know if there is an area of your body you do not want touched, due to dysphoria or any other reason.
- Orgasming is good, but not required for sex to be satisfying. Depending on hormonal levels, orgasm may be very difficult or impossible for someone to achieve.
