Chuckle. I don't think I could use slang expressions. I use the very clinical terms.
I asked my therapist if he was embarassed at the sexual topics we've been covering lately, and he admitted to being a bit embarassed. I asked because it occurred to me, yet even so I was surprised. I have a way of making sex sound decidedly unerotic.
In fact, my husband says I can do that with any number of topics. I spoiled his college years by telling him I didn't think drunks were anything like "Arthur". That they didn't look rosy to me. They looked pale, flaccid, and sweaty. He just couldn't get drunk after that. ;)
P.S. My slightly embarassed therapist ended up passing on a bit of sexual education that shocked even me. I guess he wanted to pay me back for educating him on feminine anatomy. So I guess talking about being embarassed cured him of it. lol.
