Answer to Question 1

When it comes to sex, verbal communication about your likes and needs is far better than nonverbal communication, but nonverbal communication can be much less threatening than verbal communication. For example, if you would like your partner to touch your breasts more during foreplay, you can moan, or even move more, to communicate your pleasure when your partner does it. You might also try performing the behavior on your partner that you wish she or he would do to you, but be aware that this approach can sometimes backfire.

Answer to Question 2

Overall, women are better than men at decoding and translating nonverbal communication (deLange, 1995). Women's nonverbal techniques include more eye contact, head nods, and minimal encouragers (nonverbal cues signaling that they are listening) than men's techniques (J. C. Pearson et al., 1991). Women also smile, lean forward, and touch more often than men in conversation (Wood, 1999).
