1. Non-sexual
Stroking
First, both the man and
the woman have to learn to give and
receive pleasure simply by touching each
other's bodies. At that stage,
they are not allowed to have coitus
or even to try reaching orgasm any other
way. Instead, they are encouraged to
pleasure each other with gentle strokes
and caresses. They are also told how to
increase their pleasure by slowly
guiding each other's hands. Often the
use of some lotion or body oil is
recommended. However, there is no
specific area to be singled out, no
specific goal to be reached, and thus
there is
no pressure to perform. Once
the partners have practiced such
pleasuring a few times, they usually
begin to relax, lose their
self-consciousness, and abandon
themselves to their sexual feelings. |
