Mutual
Pleasuring Exercises
The first of
these exercises consists simply of
touching and stroking the body in a
relaxed and non-demanding way.
This allows the couple to discover their
erogenous zones and to feel sensual
pleasure without any pressure to
perform. When pleasuring each other in
this fashion, the partners can gently
guide each other's hands in order to
increase their enjoyment. In addition,
they are often encouraged to use some
massaging oil or body lotion which may
help the woman overcome her fear of sex
as "wet" and "messy". After a few days
of these exercises, the couple can begin
to concentrate on stimulating the female
sex organs. The best way to do this is
for the man to sit directly behind the
woman who spreads her legs by throwing
them over his thighs. This position
enables the man to hold the woman
reassuringly close while he manipulates
her breasts and her vulva. The woman, in
turn, can guide the man's hands to those
areas of her body that give her the
greatest pleasure. At the same time, she
can teach him to avoid stroking the
sensitive glans of her clitoris directly
and to caress instead the general area
of the clitoris and the minor lips (labia
minora). As she becomes sexually
excited, her vagina begins to lubricate
naturally, and this lubrication can then
be spread to the clitoral area to reduce
the possibility of irritation. Both
partners are warned, however, not to
strive for orgasm. Instead,
they are encouraged to relish their
sexual feelings and to abandon
themselves to the pleasures of the
moment. |
