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.
