    That’s why you have a mouth and hands, potentially even getting your thigh in there.

    Honestly, the penis in the vagina is sometimes the least exciting part about sex with that arrangement of genitals.

      Honestly, the penis in the vagina is sometimes the least exciting part about sex with that arrangement of genitals.

      The same is true the other way round too. Which makes it all the more frustrating that a lot of women think their whole contribution to sex is to lay there and provide a vagina.

          That (a) everyone educates themselves on how their body and the body of their partner(s) work, (b) that everyone educates themselves on how they can pleasure their partners (and optionally themselves too, why not) and © that everyone actively participates and contributes when they are having sex, all of that irrespective of gender or sex.

          It’s ok to sometimes lay back and enjoy your partner running the show, but if that’s the case every single time, then you are doing something wrong.

              Ah, gotcha.

              Think of everything you like being done to you apart from PIV. Chances are that men like that too when you do it to them.

              A woman being actually active, showing what she wants, using her hands both to touch her partner, but also to show what she likes (e.g. putting her hand onto his hand while he’s doing something she likes and pushing/holding the hand there) is incredibly sexy.

              Being touched/stimulated on everything that counts as erogenous zone is nice.

              Think of anything that counts as foreplay with women. Chances are men like that too.

              To put it differently: Think of having sex, and the only thing your partner does is touch your clit and PIV, no other body contact. There’s a lot missing, isn’t there?

              Communication is really sexy too. If you want something, say so. If you like what’s happening, say so.

              Show that you are alive, in the moment, and there with your partner, not just waiting for the time to tick away while thinking about laundry. (Even if that’s not what you are, that’s what your partner might think you are doing if you minimize reactions and participations, and that’s decidedly not sexy.)

              It’s really not so much about that secret magic technique or something, just about really being present, trying to find out what your partner likes, being happy to participate and experiment.

              That said, look up “frenulum orgasm” if you want to surprise your partner with a secret magic technique that they themselves might not even know. It’s the male equivalent to a clitoral orgasm, and many guys have never heard of it.

                Great write up, thank you very much, I will study more.

                Some things are harder to achieve in the moment without former practice, and even sexy talk is better trained in calmer settings, but life is messy and… people in general need less work and more time for themselves and each other.

                  Sex is a skill, and like any skill it takes research and practice.

                  But I’m sure there aren’t many men out there who wouldn’t want their partner to practice on them, so go for it!

                  In the beginning I used to always plan beforehand to have a couple cool things I could do, maybe something to surprise her with or something. And backup plans in case the original idea didn’t work out as expected.

                  After a while it becomes really easy.

                No, that says “there are other ways to have sex than PIV,” it does not say "you should be putting in more effort "

                Your response to a woman saying “there are other ways to have sex besides PIV” is “it would be cool if women put more effort into sex.” You’re telling this to the woman who is saying there are other ways to have sex besides PIV. All she said was “you can use your mouth, too!” to the guy making a joke about lasting 30 seconds. Nowhere did she say anything about men at large. Do you think this is some competition between men and women so you had to throw in to say “no actually women are worse?” Do you genuinely not see how what you said in this context was totally uncalled for and sexist?

                    Or you’re both reading the intended meaning uncharitably and huffing your own farts over your own superiority, which is exhausting and pointless to reply to.

                    The point was clearly, “It goes both ways.” He can use his mouth, too, so can she! Boo lazy men lovers, boo lazy women lovers. Unless that’s what you’re into!

          Yes, the first comment was gendered.

          It replied to a man telling him that he should be doing stuff apart from PIV.

          Of course, if you ignore the context, you can interpret it differently. But ignoring context invalidates any conversation in general.

              Fair enough, I missed a word in the first sentence: “These** men”

              He took great offense to idea of sex being more than a penis being inserted into a vagina. It says much more about him than anything else I’ve said here.

            There’s a lot that goes into why a person may starfish during sex and, maybe surprisingly to you, a lot of it is rooted in lack of sexual education and/or sexual abuse.

                You’re literally talking to a woman who puts in effort with sex. Enough to know there’s a lot more ways to try to please someone than shoving your dick inside and calling it a day.

                You’re certainly not qualified to teach anyone about pleasing others in bed.

                    Are you so sexist that you think women can’t be responsible for educating themselves?

                    If I believed that, I wouldn’t be a woman who took responsibility for educating myself on sex, would I?

                    I’m not the one struggling with reading comprehension here.

                  Geez, maybe it’s because I’m tired af and it’s the end of the day, but I’m really having trouble following the thread here. I shouldn’t have to type out my history, but I’m NOT unfamiliar with SA, nor with having sex with men/masc-types. Falling back on implied accusations of nonconsent/SA to win an argument where it wasn’t brought up until you typed it out is kinda scummy.

                    I genuinely do not read where they are doing what you’re saying they’re doing. All they said was someone laying down and not putting effort into sex may have a history of trauma. Meanwhile, you and the other fella kinda were ridiculing people who do that…

                    Being nasty about women laying back and only offering their vaginas is worse than anything I’ve said.

          What a sexist comment.

          • Man does everything when it comes to sex.
          • Woman says “Sex is your responsibility”
          • Woman doesn’t want to contribute at all.
          • Man makes woman cum every single time for the last 10 years.

          You:

          It’s your fault, because you are a man and complaining about a woman not putting in effort is sexist.

          Of course you didn’t know any of what is actually happening, but because I’m a man, you instantly assumed that I must be doing nothing. That is incredibly sexist of you. Check your privilege.

      PIV is the trigger for my wife which is awesome although I do like going down on her and using my hands but makes me feel like a god when she has multiple orgasms while I’m fucking her.
