A few years back, I was chatting with some friends about sex (shocker) when one of them confessed a half-joking, half-earnest secret worry: “Do you ever wonder if you’re actually good at sex? Like, what if for all the time you’ve been doing it, you’ve been doing it wrong, it’s just that no one has had the heart to tell you otherwise?”

In school, you get grades. At work, you have performance reviews. On The Bachelor, you get a rose or you get sent home. But in the bedroom, we don’t have an agreed-upon ritual for evaluating success. How do you know — really know — if you’re doing it well?
