Q. My fiance and I have an active sex life. I am not a “screamer”–even though I am very responsive while engaged in sex. I find that when I attempt to be aggressive and verbal, I lose touch with what I am feeling. The other night, however, I attempted to be aggressive and verbal. My fiance said that it just wasn’t me. What can I do to become more vocal yet not lose touch with my own emotions and feelings?

A. Many people find that they get distracted by “screaming” or talking or doing anything that takes their attention from the physical sensations of making love. You don’t have to feel guilty about this, and obviously your partner doesn’t mind, so my advice is to just be yourself and forget about it.
