Depends on the person and what needs to be discussed.
Open style questions ...listening to understand
Reflecting back what you've heard and gentle guiding towards topic with more follow up questions.

It totally depends on what sort of person they are.
Are they receptive or defensive when you try to talk to them about delicate things? Do they listen and think about what you've said before responding, or do they immediately bridle and show anger or resentment? |

Say you would like to talk about a topic.
If appropriate explain why it's important to you.
Be ready to listen rather than try to persuade the other person to agree with your agenda.
Explore the subject matter, identify your similarities and differences.
Attempt to resolve differences collaboratively rather than competitively, finding common ground or compromise.
Recap and check all parties are happy with the outcome.
Hug. |

"If it's a conversation in relation to you fulfilling your wants sexually, firstly decide if you're prepared to accept that it may alter your relationship irrevocably and not in the way you hoped"
I do accept that |

"What’s a good way to have a needed open conversation with someone
What are some good ways to guide a conversation to where it needs to be ?"
Are they aware that you have things you need to discuss with them?
Just be honest, empathic, open and listen to their views. If they get defensive or upset then cut the conversation, last thing you want is for them to feel attacked.
Good luck |
