Sexual communication within marriage has been a long-neglected topic in Vietnam. The research described in this paper explored how educated husbands and wives communicate about sexuality in urban settings in contemporary Vietnam. Twenty married individuals living in Hanoi were recruited to participate through snowball sampling. Data were collected through unstructured interviews. Thematic analysis showed that respondents were able to talk with each other relatively openly about sexuality. While the issues raised were various, sexual communication decreased in quantity and quality with the length of marriage. The ambiguity of discourses of sexuality was reportedly both the main catalyst and barrier to conversation.
