Celebrate Intimacy with Relationship Sexpert Larry
James Detailing Foreplay (For Men Only) Part I
If you are truly interested
in improving your sex life, remember this: "Foreplay
begins with taking out the garbage without being asked!"
You must be willing to give your partner what she needs
on a practical and emotionally level. This means connecting
with her emotionally outside of the bedroom, in ways that
she needs.
She needs to hear you say, "I love you." She needs
to be appreciated; to hear that the house looks great after
she's spent all day cleaning; to hear that she is still
beautiful to you.
She needs to see you "take the initiative" and
share in the responsibilities of the home, including the
household chores. She needs you to notice her new hairdo;
to pick up the kids after soccer practice.
It is easy to couple with someone emotionally for the time
it takes to have sex. But what about foreplay? What about
making love? Foreplay isn't just removing clothing so that
you can have sex. Foreplay is doing whatever your lover
needs to feel ready to make love.
Most often it has more to do with how she is treated outside
the bedroom rather than inside it.
You begin making love to your partner when you give her
a smile, tell her she looks and smells good and by declaring
a cheery, "Good morning!" It continues when you
take a moment from your work at the office and give her
a brief phone call, one that says, "I was thinking
about you!" Perhaps we could call this, "all-day
foreplay!"
If you always expect this variety of kindness to lead to
sex, you are missing the point. Being there for her when
she needs a shoulder to lean on and being a committed listener,
one who offers her your complete attention when she only
wants to talk, is all part of being a good love partner.
Paying sincere compliments, equally sharing household responsibilities
and being her best friend is not just being good to her
to get what you want! It expresses love.
Women can detect insincerity a mile away. When you offer
her your complete attention, you give her a wonderful gift.
You call attention to the fact that you respect her as a
woman and your friend without demanding anything in return.
When you make love, get your senses involved.
Touch your lover's skin with your tongue. Is it warm? Slick?
Wet? Sticky? Soft? Pay attention to taste. Salty? Sweet?
Listen for sounds that say you are being enjoyed. Did that
soft whimper tell you you are doing something right?
Watch your lover. When you do what you are doing, does she
close her eyes? Does her body move slowly to the rhythm
of the music or rise to meet your touch?
What scents have you become aware of?
Intercourse is only a small part of making love. Her skin
is very sensitive to your touch. Take into account all of
your five senses to more fully enjoy lovemaking.
Never rush sex, unless you have mutual agreement for a quickie.
Gypsy Rose Lee once said, "Anything worth doing, is
worth doing slowly." Think fast. Go slow.
Give her a warm oil massage while she is blindfolded and
while you're wearing sexy silk boxers. She will smell the
scented candles you have placed all over the room, listen
to the soft, romantic music you have in the background and
feel the gentle touch of your magic fingers and slow hands
all over her body.
Pause often to quench her thirst with her favorite cool
beverage. Have your special massage be no less than an hour
of foreplay. Keep an eye on the clock if you must, but make
it last. Don't rush.
Make love while she is still wearing the blindfold. Help
her feel like the sexiest woman on earth when she is in
your embrace. Be gentle, caring, selfless, and in beautiful
words, whisper enticing ideas of love.
Allow your partner to get lost in your lovemaking. Let her
hear the sounds of your own pleasure and feel the good vibrations.
Savor the erotic fragrance of your lover's scent. Be deliberate.
Make her body feel like it is enveloped in a sensual trance
and only you can pull her out. She'll be like putty in your
hands!
You "need" to know what women want. Your love
partner needs to feel wanted. She doesn't want to be needed.
She needs to be wanted, to feel connected to her partner.
She wants someone who is a slow lover. Someone who takes
his time; someone who makes love on purpose. She does not
want or need a "two-minute wonder!" Be more on
purpose and intentional.
A woman wants to be more than a wife. She wants to be your
best friend and your lover.
She wants you to do things that cause her to feel like a
woman. . . not a wife. She wants romance.
Send her an occasional "warm fuzzy" greeting card
for no special reason, not just when you need to say "I'm
sorry" or want something. She wants lots of unexpected
hugs and meaningful kisses.
She wants an occasional breakfast in bed. Guess who gets
to be Chef?
She wants and needs time alone. Honor her space. And when
she is with you, she wants everyone to know she is with
YOU. She wants affection. She wants to know she is really
loved.
In that sense, she is just like a man. You may say, "She
knows I love her!" This may be true AND she still needs
to hear you say it. Be generous with speaking, "I love
you."
Your partner wants you to feel free to say what you feel.
. . not what you think she needs to hear.
A woman wants you to take time to talk about things that
are important to her, regardless of whether YOU think they
are important.
She needs you to listen to what she is saying. Give her
all your attention. She needs sincerity. She longs to be
in the shelter of her lover's arms. She wants your time
together to make her feel like she's been given a gift.
And most of all, she wants and needs respect!
It's all called, "foreplay."
