Stroke That: How to Rub Her the Right Way

I worked at a copy shop. It was not a glamorous or sexy job, but it paid the bills. Some days the job required me to stand for mindless hours at a counter taking orders. Customers would line up and wait impatiently for my time. As they stepped up to the counter they would pass me their documents, and I would take the details of their orders and pass the jobs on to the machine operators.

I had little interest in the customers. I did not want to know the details of their day; how they needed this in a rush because they had a flight to catch. I was not interested in interpersonal contact. For this reason, eye contact was not required. But as we passed papers between us I took to really looking at their hands. They innocently shuffled papers and pointed out details of their jobs while I perved their skin, fingernails and gestures. I could determine how well they cared for themselves, if they performed manual labor and what kind of dexterity they may have in these moments.

Ultimately I sorted customers into two piles: yes or no. Yes meaning I would have sex with them based purely on what I could glean from looking at their hands. Or no, I would not. It was a simple game where I got to objectify people for my own sexual amusement. It passed the time.

Upon confessing the details of my game to other females over the years, many have admitted that they assess hands too. Women look at your hands. How well you care for them speaks to us. And how well you use your hands on our bodies tells us even more. Your hands are sexual tools. Here are some tips that may turn your partner upside down.

An orgasm, no matter how it is triggered, is a series of involuntary muscular contractions. Those muscles span out into a woman's inner thighs, which means that the thighs are a part of every orgasm. When you touch her inner thighs, you are in direct contact with her orgasmic platform. Beyond that, inner thighs are very erogenous. No one touches a woman's thighs but her lovers. That means that we are hyper aware of any touch we receive in this area.

How to do it? She may like to feel your fingers move slowly up her thighs. If you are a little rougher, you might give her inner thighs some slaps or grab them with confidence while you tell her how hot she is. This will get her heart thumping before you even head for her sweet spots. (For more insight, check out The No.1 Secret to the Female Orgasm.)

Stir more anticipation by holding the palm of your hand over her whole vulva, pressing against it while covering her completely with the warmth of your hand. Hold it there longer than you think you should. Really. Hold it ... until she starts to wiggle and ask for more.
Ready for friction? She is. Using a quality lube will amplify the fun. Try water-based or silicone. Each will give a very different experience. Try both. Best of all, lube will protect her skin from the microscopic friction burns that can happen even during light play. This will keep her body healthy and make longer, hotter bouts of play not only possible, but way more fun. (Get more advice on how to choose a lubricant in The Ins and Outs of Sexual Lubricants.)

Run your wet fingers up and down, from her perineum to near her clit, dipping a finger or two just inside her vaginal opening every now and then. Let your middle finger be the lead with your thumb grazing her clit with each stroke. Then watch. Her breath will deepen and her body will open up. These are signs she is happy. Pay attention to her response and develop the pace and rhythm that meets her needs.

I would never be so bold as to tell you how to touch your lover’s clit, but I can give you lots of inspiration and insight.

The clitoris is not a button or a pea or a pearl. It’s actually a little shaft about one inch long that is covered by a protective hood of skin, right where the labia come together at the pubic mound. Thousands of nerve endings gather at this one area. These nerves go deep, under her lips, then span up towards her navel and between her legs, past her anus and up her spine to connect directly with her brain. The clitoris is so deeply embedded in a woman's sexual anatomy that today we call it the clitoral complex. (Learn more about this amazing part of a woman's body in Holy Clit, Batman! 9 Amazing Facts About the Clitoris.)

Some clits are so sensitive that she may not want you to touch it at all. Other women want a lot of rough circular motion, and hard pressure against the pubic bone. Some women prefer no direct clitoral contact, but like a little rubbing to the left or the right. Learn her. Start light, gauge her response and put what you learn to work.

Here's an easy one: Encourage her to touch herself, watch what she does and steal her moves. When a woman touches herself, she is communicating with you. She may also communicate verbally, by talking with you or making sounds. So fuck her with your ears. She will also talk with her body, so watch for subtle movements, tension, release of tension, quivers, hips rising, toes pointing, breath being held or becoming deeper. Pay attention, be present and learn her body.
If your intent is to excite her, then experiment. If your intent is to give her an orgasm, then you want to go for consistent, rhythmic movements. You might feel her thighs, ass or pelvic muscles pumping with your motions. If not, tell her you want to feel her muscles pump with you. This will inspire a bigger orgasm. (Learn more about this in For Better Orgasms, Flex These Muscles.)

When you find the motion and the spot that has her going over the edge, stay there - don’t let up. The worst thing you can do is find something she really likes and then move on to something else without responding to her reaction.

Regardless of gender or orientation, there are no sexual tools that can compare to your hands. From the soft pads of your fingertips to the warm palm of your hand and all the little muscles that make their movements so versatile, your hands are amazing. And learning to use them can be an amazing experience for both of you.

“I am worried because of frequent wet dreams, please help!”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

Experiencing wet dreams is a pretty normal phenomenon especially in young age. Some men experience this as frequently as every second or third day and some probably once a week or month or never. This variation is normal and doesn’t affect your sexual health. Therefore, you shouldn’t feel worried. Usually the frequency of wet dreams decreases with time and when you get involved in a sexual relationship.

My sister got a Pap smear done in the U.K. What is Pap smear? Is it available in Pakistan? When should I get it done?

June 28th, 2011 // faq

Pap smear also known as the Papanicolaou test, Pap test or cervical smear is a very simple and painless gynecological test done to identify certain changes in a woman’s cervix which can later lead to development of cervical cancer. If these changes are identified early, a very simple treatment procedure can prevent a future disaster. Since its advent, the incidence of cervical cancer, which once was a leading cause of cancer death in women, has fallen by 99%.

The test is commonly done in Pakistan. You can talk to your gynecologist about it.

Every sexually active woman should have this test done every three years starting from after 1 year of her first sexual encounter.

”Is intercourse safe during pregnancy?”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

Sex is considered safe during all stages of a normally progressing pregnancy.

However, in the presence of certain complications or risk factors, your doctor would label your pregnancy as high-risk and advise against sexual intercourse. Some of these risk factors include;

• a history or threat of miscarriage

• A history of pre-term labor (you’ve previously delivered a baby before 37 weeks) or signs indicating the risk of pre-term labor (such as premature uterine contractions)

• unexplained vaginal bleeding, discharge, or cramping

• Leakage of amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby)

• Placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta (the blood-rich structure that nourishes the baby) is down so low that it covers the cervix (the opening of the uterus)

• Incompetent cervix, a condition in which the cervix is weakened and dilates (opens) prematurely, raising the risk for miscarriage or premature delivery

• Multiple fetuses (twins, triplets, etc.) (Not always a contraindication)

“I think, I unintentionally pass urine when I reach orgasm. Is there any way to avoid this embarrassment?”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

The fluid that you pass during orgasm is actually not urine but the female ejaculate. This fluid which comes out of the same opening from where the urine comes out is produced by a gland surrounding the inner urethra (the tubes which carries the urine out). This gland is commonly referred to as the female prostate.

Female ejaculation is a completely normal process and you should not feel embarrassed about it.

“Is intercourse safe during menstruation?”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

Sex during periods is a matter of personal preference and cultural beliefs. Medically, it is safe to have sex during your period as long as you don’t use it as a ticket to have unprotected sex.

There are however, some risks in having sex during menstruation. These include;

• The likelihood of an HIV-infected woman’s passing the infection to her male partner is higher during her periods

• A woman’s chances of contracting an infection, (for e.g. herpes) from her male partner, are higher during her periods.

• Sex during menstruation puts a woman at higher risk of pelvic inflammatory disease

• A woman is also more likely to pass on other blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis- B or C to a partner during her period

• A woman is more likely to develop yeast or bacterial infections like candidiasis or bacterial vaginosis.

Following points should be kept in mind while having sex during periods;

• It’s advisable to use contraception, preferably a condom, as it will prevent transmission of infections and also protect you against any chances of pregnancy

• Consider using a dental dam while having oral sex during periods. They are available in various sizes and flavors

• Remember to remove your tampon before having sex!

“I am a very busy man and my wife is losing interest in sex?”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

The fact that your wife is losing interest in sex is most likely because she is not enjoying it. As emphasized earlier, it is almost impossible for a woman to have sexual pleasure and attain orgasm without being sexually aroused. Foreplay is almost mandatory for making a woman sexually aroused. Some women become sexually aroused (the stage when she cannot resist intercourse) after few minutes of foreplay while others might take as long as an hour to reach that stage.

Reaching orgasm becomes very likely when sexual stimulation (physical or intercourse) is done slowly and when she is fully sexually aroused.

“I feel a lot of dryness and painful friction during intercourse. Are there any lubricators available in the market? How safe are they?”

June 28th, 2011 // faq

There are different types of vaginal lubricants available in the market. There are 2 main categories; water based and silicon based lubricants. Many women are sensitive to silicon based lubricants and so prefer the water based ones. KY jelly is a very common water based lubricant. If you and your partner use condoms, it is important to first see on the label whether they are compatible with artificial vaginal lubricants.
