The letter highlights a couple's intimacy issues stemming from one partner's critical approach towards the other’s performance in bed. Instead of offering constructive feedback, the writer takes a superior stance, making the girlfriend feel insulted and defensive. The response stresses the importance of tone and receptiveness in communication about intimacy, suggesting that constructive criticism should be delivered with sensitivity to avoid shutting down the partner's willingness to improve. It ultimately advocates for a more empathetic approach to fostering intimacy.
Your approach may be the biggest problem; using critical language can make constructive feedback feel like an attack, rather than a helpful suggestion.
Constructive criticism requires sensitivity; if your tone conveys superiority, it may inhibit your girlfriend from being receptive to your feedback.
