When couples navigate changing gender identity and sexual intimacy

My partner came out as non-binary six months ago and we're both trying to navigate what this means for our sexual relationship — they're exploring their body and desires in new ways and I want to be supportive but I also feel lost and sometimes scared to touch them wrong or say the wrong thing. We're both walking carefully around each other when what we need is to find our way back to passion and playfulness.

What we've seen

Two people are learning how to desire and be desired within a relationship where identity itself is evolving, and care has temporarily displaced the erotic.
