It can also note as to whether the partners want to be giving or receiving and other information such as sexual trauma triggers or safe words. Such lists are common in BDSM communities and are separately also popular with sex therapists{{Cite web |last=N |first=Samantha |date=2023-12-28 |title=How to Strengthen Your Sex Life in the New Year |url=https://lifehacker.com/relationships/new-years-resolutions-to-strengthen-your-sex-life |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Lifehacker |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2021-05-20 |title=Yes, No, Maybe Checklist for Sexual Health Providers - Perfect for Couples |url=https://sexualhealthalliance.com/nymphomedia-blog/yes-no-maybe-checklists |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Sexual Health Alliance |language=en-US}} for their clients to improve communication.
