I'm in need of some advice about bringing up different and potentially embarrassing sexual topics with my S.O. I don't really feel like giving all the personal details, so I'll use a hypothetical situation... If I had an interest in having my GF change the oil in my car, and I was fairly certain that she wouldn't naturally be open to this idea, and that she might even be offended if it were brought up in a brusk or otherwise inconsiderate manner, how would you recommend I begin discussing it. We're talking about a serious long-term relationship here, so I'm not worried about a quick solution... I'm assuming that taking my time and being patient are a part of the basic package. I realize this sounds rather obtuse, but if anyone has any thoughts, it would be much appreciated.
