To tell my husbund there's something I'd like him to do differently in the bedroom?

[Glassalmostempty]

Been on mumsnet years but have name changed fro this.
I've been with my dh for nearly 16 years, we have a reasonably healthy sex life ( I'd like it more than him but that's another post).
The question is there's something he does a particular way and I'd prefer it another way. Would it be hurtful for me to tell him as obviously he's been doing it like that for a long time. He's not generally sensitive but I worry he'd take it as I hadn't been enjoying his way.

You could phrase it more "how about we try doing it like this for a change"

You're not outright saying you don't enjoy it the previous way, you're just suggesting an alternative.

If you do enjoy it the new way, make a bit of an extra show of it and he's more likely to remember that the new way is better :)

Definitely tell him. Just tell him you want to try it another way. Life is too short for crap sex

I agree with the other posters, definitely tell him
Just say oh can we try it like this instead, I’ve been wondering how it’d feel this way round
Or something like that!
He might also feel like he wants to do something different and it’ll help him open up too

Just talk about the different things you want to try and he may suggest new things too which you both enjoy. Could be the start of new and fun things for you both. :-)

Frame it as you wanting to try another way for the sake of experimenting, not necessarily because you don't enjoy it a particular way (unless of course you aren't enjoying it because it hurts or whatever). A healthy sex life and relationship is founded on being open and honest with your partner.
