Yes, usually when she either starts it by introducing a sexual topic or if she leaves a door wide open...I always walk through it and then joke with her that she left the door wide open for that one and that I am always going to walk through it when she does that. Almost always get a positive response to that and most say they are happy I wasn't afraid to do so...
From my sense if you just allow those type of things to occur as a natural part of the conversation you'll do far better than trying to force that which feels weird.
Women want to have those type of convos but they want to have them with guys they don't get weird vibes from who also know how to do so in the proper way.
Yes, there is a right way and wrong way to do it. And from my convos it seems a lot of guys do it the wrong way.
