A wizard's materials: c2-1. What are good books to read up on? "Man's Body: an owner's manual" "Woman's Body: an owner's manual" "More Joy of Sex" Elf's (elf@halcyon.com) recommended reading list includes: "The New Our Bodies, Ourselves." The Boston Women's Health Book Collective, 1984. I don't care what sex you are, male or female, BUY AND READ THIS BOOK COVER TO COVER! If you feel it is necessary, ignore the feminist attitudes taken in the political sections of the book and rely on the technical details. Although it was written before the age of AIDS, NorPlant, and RU-486, it contains information on every other method of birth control, as well as articles on abortion, reproductive technology, and sexually transmitted diseases. An utterly invaluable book to women and people who love them. "The Joy of Sex," by Alex Comfort Although these two books have a few problems, they are excellent introductory material for people who wish to try a few new things. These books were written in the 1970's and it shows; homosexual and bisexual issues are under the "Problem" header, for instance. "Delicious Sex" by Gael Greene. Since I rarely buy "mainstream" sex manuals any more, this one may be just a typical example. But it does have fun and sexy examples. "Sex for One," by Betty Dodson. The best guide to masturbation ever written. "Bi Any Other Name" Is a useful book for people dealing with their own or a loved one's bisexuality. "Coming to Power" by SAMOIS Although primarily written for lesbians, "Coming to Power" is the most practical guide to SM I have ever had the pleasure of reading. First Aid, physical and emotional safety, personal testimonies, politics (sigh), and a few hot stories to boot! Also useful from the same source, "The Lesbian S/M Safety Manual," not for lesbians only. FICTION: "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty," "Beauty's Punishment," "Beauty's Release." By Anne Rice, the author of "The Vampire Lestat" and "The Witching Hour," "The Erotic Adventures of Sleeping Beauty," is a wonderfully hot and sexy fantasy for anyone willing to spend a few sleepless hours. Excellent bathtime reading. "Exit to Eden," also by Anne Rice. Another sexy SM story, this one is set in modern-day New Orleans. --------------------------------------- c2-2. What stores sell sex-toys, etc.? From: elf@halcyon.com (Elf Sternberg) There are several different places to buy sex toys. The most common is the typical "adult" bookstore, where dildoes, vibrators, and such can be bought. Typically, though, these places are ugly, dirty, and uncomfortable. The most common place for people to buy sextoys are lingerie stores, which usually have a shelf set up to sell vibrators, oils, body flavorings and paint. (Recommendations- whipped cream and strawberry jelly are better than anything you could buy in one of these places). If you want a _real_ quality vibrator, buy a "body massager" at a major department store, such as Service Merchandise or Bests'. With wall current you've got all the vibration you could ever need and never worry about battery failure. Just remember to use lubricant! See c2-3 for more info on vibrators. --------------------------------------- c2-3. Should I buy a vibrator? What kind of vibrators are there? Do vibrators 'desensitize' women? Can I be replaced by a vibrator? From: elf@halcyon.com (Elf Sternberg) Vibrators come in three distinct 'types'. Many women find satisfaction in the most common (and more often thought of), the classic penis-shaped, battery powered shaft of plastic. These suffer, however, from a lack of real power and inconvenient battery death. The second type of vibrator, the 'wand' vibrator, overcomes these problems with wall current. These large, club-shaped vibrators provide LOTS of stimulation, and wall current provides all the power you could ask for, but the designers apparently intended for people not to view these things as sex toys, but as "personal massagers," and the ungainliness of these things reflects that. The third type of vibrator, the 'handle' type, looks vaguely like a small hairdryer with a small, perpendicular shaft out of the thicker end to accommodate a variety of soft plastic or latex heads. The best of all possible worlds, these vibrators never die, fit in one hand, and can provide a variety of sensations. Shower Massagers make a wonderful variation on the classic vibrator, and if you enjoy the warmth and wetness of the tub, you probably want to consider investing in a shower massager. Like the wand and handle vibrators, shower massagers have a host of uses beyond masturbation, too! BUYING A VIBRATOR: Don't make buying a vibrator a traumatizing experience. If you MUST have one of those penis-shaped things, most lingerie shops carry them. But most department stores sell the 'wand' or 'handle' vibrators under the guise of "personal massagers," and buying one from reputable department stores means a warranty, you can return it if unsatisfied, and it won't have "Doc Johnson's Love Machine" emblazoned across it in pink letters in case mother comes to visit. CAVEAT: Before using any mechanical vibrator, apply lubrication! Your lover probably does not rank friction burns in the same category as love bites. Use a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y (always recommended), Aegis, or Wet. CAVEAT: Do not purchase a vibrator specifically designed to deliver heat to the body as a sexual device. If they work on muscles, great, but don't use them on your cunts and cocks. I know of at least one case where a woman burned herself with one of these things because her climaxes were so strong she didn't notice how much the heater had burned her. RECOMMENDATION: I prefer the 'handle' type myself, with the Con-Air and the Oster "personal massagers" as my all-time favorites. Oster makes a 'heating' type of vibrator, as well, so be careful when you buy. ADVICE: Nobody knows how to masturbate YOU better than you do, and the same rule applies to everybody else. Don't use a vibrator on someone else until you've watched them use it on themselves, preferably several times. Men, especially, should watch how their girlfriends/ wives use the vibrator alone before taking the reins. No mechanical piece of plastic can replace the love and affection of a human being; try to see the vibrator as just another toy, and not as competition. Some women do experience a temporary 'desensitization' after the effects of a powerful vibrator, but put the toy away for a week and sensitivity returns to normal. Vibrators do not cause long-term desensitization. Should you buy a vibrator? That's a decision only you can make; I personally have bought two for my wife, and a shower massage, and they've made our sex life a whole lot better, not worse. As always, your mileage may vary. --------------------------------------- c2-4. How does one make a simulacrum (artificial orifice)? From: "The Contrivor" Question - We all know women have vibrators and water massagers, but is there any really good (orgasm inducing) sex toy for men? Answer - Yes, and you can make it yourself. There are commercial alternatives as well, but they are not very satisfactory. The device described below, called "the simulacrum", can be used alone or with a partner. It can also be held between the legs of a partner, constituting a form of "safer sex". Materials: 1. A piece of foam rubber, approximately 4" x 5" x 6-7". Generally, the softer the foam the better. You may want to try more than one grade of foam. High quality, soft, foam can be purchased at a good upholstery fabric store. 2. A latex, non-lubricated condom. The best brand for this application is "Gold Circle Coin". 3. An O-ring larger than the diameter of the man's penis. The average penis is about 1 1/2" in diameter, so the typical O-ring might be a 1 3/4 inch inner diameter. A good hardware store will have many sizes of O-rings. 4. A water-based personal lubricant. The best is probably "Astroglide". Look in any drug store near the female hygiene/contraceptive department. 5. A wooden clothespin. Construction: 1. Cut a slit through the length of the foam, being very careful not to cut yourself. I recommend wearing leather gloves and using an electric turkey carving knife. It can be done with a sharp knife, but is considerably more difficult. Make the slit about 2" wide, going through the whole length of the foam. You want plenty of foam all the way around the slit, so try to center it. See the diagram below. __________________ /. /| / . / | 6-7" / . / | / . _____ / | / . . . / | / .___.___.___/_____| / / . . / / ------------------- / | / . . | / | / . . | / 4" | / ----- | / | / 2" slit | / |/ |/ ------------------- 5" Usage: You may want a wet washcloth available. 1. Unroll the entire condom. 2. Bring the open end of the condom through the O-ring, then stretch the open end of the condom over the O-ring, the way that a plastic trash can liner goes on a trash can. 3. Lubricate the inside of the condom with a water-based lubricant, working the lubricant around to insure that there are no dry spots. DO NOT USE skin lotion, vaseline, baby oil, vegetable oil, or any oil based lubricant. Use a water soluble lubricant such as below: - Astroglide personal lubricant - Prepare person lubricant - HR jelly - KY jelly - Today personal lubricant 4. Push the closed end of the condom down into the slit in the foam. You may find this easier with the wooden clothespin already clamped onto the tip of the condom. 5. Reach through from the other end of the foam and pull the closed end of the condom through. Fasten the clothespin on this end; If the condom is stretched tight a smooth texture will be achieved, if left looser a rougher texture will be achieved. 6. Lubricate the penis with the water-based lubricant. If you use an oil based lubricant, the condom will break. 7. Wipe your hands off on a wet wash cloth. 8. Insert the penis through the O-ring into the foam slit. You may find this difficult if the inside of the condom is not fully lubricated, or if the the slit is too small. The width of the slit will determine the fit. You may wish to vary this width to find the perfect fit. Be careful -- too tight and you may irritate your penis -- never a good thing! 9. The foam may be moved with hands, or wedged between pillows, or against a bed. It is recommended that the user experiment with various speeds, angles, pressures and so on. Slow rotation is particularly recommended. It is possible to rotate, flex, change the angle of movement etc., in order to provide different effects. Also, the amount of lubricant used and the tension on the condom before attaching the clothespin will affect the texture and sensation achieved. Also, a drop or two of honey may be added as a thickening agent, to increase the amount of friction. I'm interested in hearing feedback about the simulacrum. Please post your feedback to alt.sex.wizards. - The Contrivor ================================================================= Category 3. GENERAL STUFF c3-1. What should I do to make (the first attempt at) vaginal sex easiest? FOR THE VIRGIN FEMALE: 1) Do it in a place where she feels safe, ideally in her own bedroom. 2) Do it at a secure time, when roommates won't come barging in, a firedrill is unlikely, etc. 3) Simulate it in advance: a. Go almost all the way. b. Practice the thrusting motions of sex while fully clothed. c. Have her give you a "hand job" so that she will know what your body does when you have an orgasm. d. Have a bright lights "show and tell" session, to allow you to feel secure around each other's naked bodies. 4) Plan it, but don't talk about it being planned, on the actual day that you do it. 5) Stretch the vagina out a lot with the fingers in advance. If she feels comfortable with the idea, she can even do this herself when you're not around. 6) Remember that it is her day--everything, within reason, should be done how she wants. 7) Spend the day with her beforehand; do something fun but generic-- if you do something complicated, it will become "your" thing to do together forever, due to the association, so make sure it's something you can stand doing again on any potential anniversaries. 8) Have a special dinner before you "start." a. Nothing that can possibly upset the stomach. b. A moderate amount, even if you're nervous. You should both stay a little hungry and not feel bloated. 9) Use plenty of lubricant. I recommend k-y jelly for the first few times; after that you may want to consider a slightly less slippery but spermicidal lubricant, several brands are available commercially. 10) Entry should be "missionary" style, this leaves the vagina as wide open as possible. Some women find that placing a pillow under the buttocks enhances this effect, others have said it doesn't matter. 11) If she can do it, she may be best off to do the actual entry herself, but many women would rather not. 12) There's no point in getting it over with right away, since it will only hurt the next time, but there is also no need to draw it out. I'd say 10-30 minutes is a good range, but it is actually going to vary a lot depending on the particular couple involved. 13) Take forever, if necessary, before putting it in. Only when the woman is really ready should this be done. I'd recommend asking verbally, and then interpreting that to see if she really means it's time. 14) Stay with her afterwards. Spend the night, at least. If possible, take her to do something spontaneous the next day. Discuss what happened if she wants to, many women won't want to until some later time. 15) Encourage her to talk to other women ahead of time to give her some idea of what to expect. The unknown means fear, fear leads to tension, tension leads to difficulty relaxing, and difficulty relaxing leads to pain. 16) A useful technique, for guys who can do this, is to keep the erection soft, at a sort of middling state, and then push the penis in with a finger. Then slowly let it harden. This will produce a stretching rather than a sudden opening of the vagina. If you can't do this, then at least go in slowly and gently, "getting it over with fast" is not likely to be better. 17) Be more or less "in love." This is something you can't just decide to do, but it can help to wait until you love each other. FOR THE VIRGIN MALE: (from: Carole Ashmore) OK. This is on the assumption that he's told you it's going to be his first (some men tell you *afterward*) and that the two of you are not first-timers fumbling together. In the both-first-timers case I recommend strong egos, mutual respect and affection, and a great sense of humor. Also theoretical knowledge *helps*. Read the fucking manual. (Sorry I just couldn't resist the play on words.) I recommend anything by Alex Comfort; THE JOY OF SEX and THE FACTS OF LOVE are very good. But on the assumption that he is a virgin and you are experienced: 1. There is a socially prevalent notion that men make love and women are made love to, so an experienced woman with an inexperienced man is going to be gritting her teeth enduring his fumbling ineptitude. *Actively counter this notion.* Tell him the thought of his being a virgin makes it a special and especially delightful encounter for you. Tell him the thought of initiating him into the joys of love- making is *very sexy for you*. Strongly convey the notion that you expect to have a great sexual experience based on his attractiveness, his enjoyment, and *your* skill. Make him believe that he has no responsibility for 'making this work' and can just enjoy it. 2. Take the initiative physically. You kiss him, don't wait for him to kiss you. You start undressing him. You make the move in the direction of the bedroom. ETC. On the other hand, don't insist on the initiative if he takes it eagerly -- be appreciative, encourage it, but don't go limp and assume he'll take it from here. 3. Tell him you find at least one thing about his body particularly attractive. Stay away from "You have beautiful eyes.", but almost anything else will do: Tell him you love men with hairy chests, or tell him he has a great ass, or tell him men with strong hands particularly turn you on, or tell him you love the way he smells, or tell him running your fingers through his hair is *so* sensual, or... something *specific*, not just, "You've got a great body." or "You're so sexy." After you tell him this, *show* him-- run your fingers through his hair, enjoy grabbing the sexy ass, etc. as appropriate. 4. Tell him you find at least one thing he does particularly attractive -- again, it is the *specific* thing that is believed and appreciated. "I love the way you kiss." or "Yes, touch me exactly like that." beats the hell out of "You're a great lover." 5. He's going to be convinced he was either too fast or too slow -- the chances of simultaneous orgasm after whatever the culture has led him to believe is the 'proper' amount of time are just about nil. So be prepared ahead of time to convince him that this: A. isn't a problem B. happens to just about everybody. For 'too fast' tell him the first time just takes the edge off and he (not you) will have more time to enjoy the next session of lovemaking -- and meanwhile he has this wonderful opportunity (of *unspecified* length) to learn what pleases you while he's not so distracted. Assure him that you consider 'not being too distracted while learning' an *advantage* in lovemaking. For 'too slow' tell him you *enjoy* prolonged lovemaking -- either it gives you a chance for more than one orgasm or it gives you a chance to enjoy the wonderful sensuality of post-orgasmic sex. If it's obvious that it's too slow for him, that he's not going to make it if he keeps at it for the next two hours, let him know that he gave *you* a wonderful time and that everybody's nervous the first time, he'll be more relaxed and ready to enjoy it in the morning. 6. Tell him you want to sleep with him again; don't assume he knows it -- don't make him ask, you ask. --------------------------------------- c3-2. What should I do to make (the first attempt at) oral sex easiest? (See questions c3-4 and c3-9 for the related topics, hand jobs and the G-spot) From: hurd@fraser.sfu.ca (Peter L. Hurd) Message-ID: <hurd.699947179@sfu.ca> Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1992 05:46:19 GMT So I asked the expert, she said: 1) really like the penis that you're sucking 2) don't let any air in through the back of the throat, big vacuum. 3) Horizontal strumming with the tongue across the base of the head on the underside to get limp penises up 4) Use the top of the tongue to make friction on the head, pressing it up against the roof of the mouth. I'd add: watch the teeth & I know this isn't anything new or exciting, it's really difficult to describe how to perform oral sex on a man, just as it is very difficult to describe to someone how to tie shoelaces or bowties. But for the good of the species, I think it's worth a try. From: sesharp@happy.colorado.edu The best way to learn is to experiment and learn from feedback. Different people like different things. There are some general comments that might be worth making. At the least it will get someone to contradict me and start a useful discussion. FOR HIM: Deep-throating apparently requires handling the gag reflex by swallowing when it happens. In my opinion, it isn't that important. Complete enclosure isn't the strong point of oral stimulation. If that is important to you, try something else. She may be able to help by using her hands on the part of the shaft she can't enclose. The advantage of oral stimulation is the control and variety it provides, which are only available with shallower penetration anyway. From others.somewhere.edu: I find that it helps if you are hungry when you do it. Never attempt going down on a guy if you've eaten a big meal recently. Make sure that you're not thirsty when you start. For some reason thirst closes up the back of your throat. Also, concentrate on breathing through your nose deeply while doing it. (This is the only way I can hold off chocking on my toothbrush every morning.) According to Linda Lovelace of "Deep Throat" fame, the most comfortable way to give a blow job is if your throat is straight. In order to achieve this, try laying on his chest. She also suggests that you practice by sticking your fingers down your throat and wiggling them around til you feel the gag reflex and then ease off. Repeat until you've defeated the reflex, it'll take time she says. From sesharp@happy.colorado.edu: FOR HER: First of all, recognize that women prefer gentler and more rhythmic stimulation than men. An advantage of using the tongue instead of the fingers is that it naturally produces about the right amount of pressure. Stimulation inside the vagina needs to be firmer and also requires more reach, so it is better handled with the fingers. If she is sensitive internally, there is no reason to be a purist and insist on using only your mouth. Trying to apply firm pressure or get too much reach with my tongue is the only way I've ever had it get tired. Otherwise it seems to be inexhaustible for hours. The tongue and lips are obviously the source of most oral stimulation. I have read descriptions of using the teeth for stimulation but I don't recommend it. The tissues are very sensitive and one uncontrolled body movement from her could cause a lot of pain and leave a scratch. This can also occur with fingernails, so keep them short, with no rough edges. The only use I've found for teeth during oral sex is pressing their front surface through the cushion of the upper lip to apply firm pressure to the buried root of the clitoris at the base of the pubic bone. If she really wants hard pressure on the clitoris, you might try using your teeth with your lips rolled inwards to cover the surfaces (a technique borrowed from nipple stimulation). The clitoris is your main area of concentration. Some women don't like it to be stimulated directly because it is too sensitive. It also may disappear under its hood at some stages of arousal and stopping to try and locate it again disrupts the stimulation. In both these cases, the hood and labia (lips) nearby should be stimulated to indirectly stimulate the clitoris. The labia are sensitive themselves as well. Trying to stimulate the vagina orally is difficult and not very effective except for a little variety. I've always found the 69 (mutual oral sex) positions give the wrong angle for best access, though that might be due to less experience with them. They definitely make it more difficult for the female to stimulate the male well, since they place the sensitive underside of the penis away from her tongue. It is usually better to take turns giving and receiving anyway, just to avoid distraction. There is a wide variety of types of stimulation that can be used. The tongue can be used flat to broadly stroke areas or pointed to tease a small area. Linear, circular or any other imaginable motions can be used. The lips can apply suction, press something between them, or have their wet and outward rolled inner surfaces used for broad strokes like the tongue. The nose can provide some interesting stimulation when the tongue is occupied lower down. Mustaches and beards can be used to tickle with. You can blow a narrow stream of cool air at a spot or breathe warm air over an entire area (just don't try to inflate the vagina; it may be dangerous). Experiment and find out what works best for you and your partner. It may change at different times and levels of arousal. Light teasing and varied stimulation are good for early arousal, but steady rhythmic stimulation is best for bringing her to orgasm. You just have to learn her responses to avoid changing stimulation too quickly for her to get excited or staying with the same stimulation after it has lost effectiveness. --------------------------------------- c3-3. What should I do to make (the first attempt at) anal sex easiest? Compiled, edited, and reorganized by adchen@phoenix.princeton.edu with material from (stsou@hpcupt1.cup.hp.com (Sharon Tsou), KAT, clw5@po.CWRU.Edu (Christopher L. Wood), kwatsi@athena.mit.edu (Atomic Playboy), and rpeck@jessica.stanford.edu (Raymond Peck) STRETCH FIRST The key to attempting anal sex is two-fold: stretching exercises and relaxation. This is to accomplish two things: 1) to get your virgin ass used to something inside it, and 2) to get your ass used to something as large as your partner's cock. Stretching exercises will give you a chance to learn the needed relaxation for the first attempt. The faster you learn to relax the muscles involved, the easier it will be. You can use either a dildo or fingers for the stretching exercises. USING A DILDO These are available at just about every adult bookstore and many mail-order places. Once you get one, you should just practice using it. You'll probably find it easier to at least use some lubricant, at least on the first couple inches of it (more on this later), as well as on your asshole, and a little inside your anus. This is to make the penetration much easier. The actual penetration of the head of the penis is probably the most difficult part, which is why a dildo is more realistic, and you should most likely spend a fair amount of time getting used to it. This can either be just inserting it up to the head, then pulling it out and putting it in again, or completely inserting it, and then removing it. You should do it enough until you get to the point where you feel pretty comfortable with it. (Well, as comfortable as it can be.). There are two steps to practice insertion with the dildo. First, you want to insert it the "normal" way, moving and rotating the dildo around to find the most comfortable position for you. Do it this way, so that you know which ways are more acceptable, and which ways are more difficult or feel a bit painful. When you have this down, you want to repeat the "exercise", only now trying to keep the dildo as stationary as possible, moving your ass and body to facilitate its entry. This is a better simulation of when he really tries to penetrate you, because (especially if you're on the bottom and he's on the top) you really can't expect to be able to reach around and move his cock to where you want it. You're going to have to be able to adjust your body to his thrusts. I really can't tell you the best way to do this, although doing it in whatever position you expect to be in with him (on your stomach or back, for example) would probably be the best way to also practice it. USING FINGERS All you need are your or your partner's fingers. Of course, you can't have long nails. You start out by slowly pushing one well- lubricated finger (index is best and hand lotion or vaginal juices work fine). Slowly move this in and out, gradually pressing more against the walls of the anus. Since an "anal virgin" will probably be nervous about this, his/her anal muscles will tend to contract, causing pain. So it helps if he/she/you (I'll use 'she' from now on) reads, listens to music, or masturbates so her mind will be off her anus. After the muscles loosen up, put another finger in along with the first, and then keep moving them the same way. Eventually, add a third, and, usually, by the time you can put four fingers in comfortably, an average sized penis should be able to fit (although keep in mind most penises are *longer* than fingers, so you may not be able to push it in as far). THE REAL THING USE A CONDOM AND LUBRICANT When the time comes that you do have anal sex with him, I would recommend having a condom. I think we all know the potential dangers of sex (especially anal sex) when not using one, so there's no real explanation needed. They also help reduce the mess (although if you go to the bathroom before this, and wash your ass with a wet rag, the inside of your rectum will be quite clean, and you should be able to put a finger in it without it picking up any solid particles), and you can have anal sex with a condom on, then pull off the condom and have vaginal sex. Remember to urinate before getting buttfucked, because this position puts pressure on the bladder. The next item is a good lubricant. I always use it with my one inch thick dildo, so I have to think you would definitely need to use some with a much larger real cock. While Vaseline is okay to use when practising yourself, it is unacceptable to use when using a condom, since it will start to break the latex down. KY is usually the preferred choice. Lube up both the outside of the anus and the penis shaft (very important!). Any lubricant that is condom compatible is ok, that means water-based. So do not use vaseline, baby oil, or cold cream. Use KY Jelly, AstroGlide, HR, or PrePair. PrePair is a good one because it contains nonoxynyl-9, which is a spermicide that also can kill many bacteria. Spit is also a viable lubricant, provided that you keep replenishing it. It evaporates more readily than other lubricants, especially during lengthy (ho ho) sessions, so you'll have to be aware. GOING FOR IT: take it *slow* Okay, now that we've got the preparatory details out of the way, it's time to enter. You should proceed VERY slowly. Place the head of your penis against the anus, and then, apply a SMALL amount of pressure so that the penis enters very slowly. It is important to maintain control on entry because if you apply too much pressure and the anal muscles just 'give way' it could hurt like hell. Once you two become accustomed to doing this, it will become much easier. Getting inside may take anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes. Don't be impatient! If you push too hard or go too fast, you can tear her. This isn't really serious, but it'll surely end your fun for the day! She may want you to ease up on the pressure at times to allow her body to get used to the opening. When she gives you the go-ahead, it often helps to do a bit of short stroking, starting with ~1/8" and going to maybe 1". When you start to slide inside, she will most likely open up and relax better. Don't start out thrusting, just gently move back and forth, or just get it inside and rest it there until she's used to it. This is the most important part for her comfort and pleasure. Basically, you apply a bit of pressure, and as she relaxes she will let you in. Sometimes the act of her "pushing out" (like defecating) will relax her sphincter. After you become more used to it, a slight (~ 1/4") pumping of the pressure will let her open up faster. Sometimes she will find it painful for you to go in all the way: it's similar to hitting the cervix. Don't go in all the way! Just be very gentle at bottom of the stroke 'till it eases up. After a while, if she is properly relaxed, you should not need to be gentle: you can pump away with mad abandon. In fact, some find this most stimulating. I pump all the way in, and then all the way out, pulling completely out of her for a moment (although not too long, 'cause she'll start to contract right away). OTHER STUFF Never switch orifices (i.e. going from anal to vaginal play) without carefully washing with soap and water. Bacteria from the colon can cause nasty vaginal infections. If you are using sex toys (dildos or anal plugs) cover it with a condom first, so you can simply pull off the condom and put on a fresh one to use on another orifice or another partner, provided that you don't have contaminated lubricant oozing all over the place. You may or may not be need some type of pillow. This is basically to prop under the ass or lay under the stomach to make the angle of penetration a little easier. Whether you need this will depend on where you have sex (it may be impractical to bring one, or the positioning may be good enough already). If you are into learning from pornography (and if you just want a good laugh ;-)) I would suggest that you check out Hollywood Video's "The Best of Caught From Behind: Part II". It's very pornographic, very informative, and very funny. It's up to you though. POSITIONS As for positions, it's usually easiest for insertion (unless she's *really* excited!) in the spoon position. This also gives you access to easily stimulate her in other ways. Be careful not to transfer anything from the anal region to the vagina: this can cause infections. I usually keep a set of fingers or a hand "clean" for this purpose. This is also, of course, important for non-intercourse anal stimulation, such as cunnilingus with some fingers rubbing, some inside her vagina, and some in her anus. Keep those fingers partitioned! We usually switch to "on the knees-face in the pillow, her pressing hard on her clit and pubic bone", to avoid severe abrasion burns! ;-) Spoon position allows her more control over initial insertion, while the other, well, it has its own advantages! The other positions, after initial insertion, to face-to-face, with her legs on my shoulders. This really allows some serious depth. The position depends largely on how well you two fit together. If you are tall and if your SO is short, you might want to try having her lie flat on her stomach. You could also have her lie on her back with her knees drawn up. In this situation, it might be a good idea to place a pillow under her buttocks (depending on what the two of you like). If dimensional factors permit, she could also be on her hands and knees. --------------------------------------- From: superdj@cs.mcgill.ca (David JOHNSON) Newsgroups: alt.sex.wizards,news.answers Subject: [alt.sex.wizards] FAQ (2/4) Summary: frequently asked questions for alt.sex.wizards Message-ID: <1992Dec1.235756.6106@cs.mcgill.ca> Date: 1 Dec 92 23:57:56 GMT Organization: SOCS - Mcgill University, Montreal, Canada Lines: 1074 Archive-name: alt-sex/wizards-faq/part2 Last-modified: 1 Dec 1992 c3-4. How does one give a hand job? How to Give the Perfect Hand Job by Brooks Peters Sex means more than intercourse; exploring all the different variations enhances your sex life and keeps it from getting stale. Masturbating your partner can be very exciting for both of you. So, read on and learn how to let your fingers do the walking. Mutual masturbation can be a thrilling experience, but first, we need to study the basics of manual technique. Most men feel women aren't skilled at handling penises. Their grips are too limp, lacking conviction and exuberance. They seem afraid to apply pressure, yet often pull or tug at inappropriate moments, disrupting the rhythm. They also have a tendency to scratch. Clearly, we all need to be more knowledgeable about the proper methods of mutual masturbation. Either you or your partner can perform the following exercises. But it is written with an experienced woman in mind. The first concern is always a matter of size. Is it large or small? Somewhere in between? No issue has ever received greater attention than the size of a man's penis. Man's obsession with cock size is probably a mental vestige of his primitive primate past, but as far as human sexuality is concerned, it's a waste of time. A large penis doesn't have any effect on a woman's physical enjoyment unless she has a deep-seated psychological attachment to well-endowed men. How about its shape? Is it curved like a boomerang or is it straight like an arrow? Does your fist fit around the spongy mass of the shaft? Does your hand completely engulf it? This is good because you can squeeze it all at once. But don't be an organ grinder. Be gentle, yet firm. If the penis has an unusual girth, your hand may not completely encircle it. In such cases, try both hands to insure you don't miss any of the tender areas while stroking. Explore every square inch of his genital surface area. A man loves to have his penis worshipped, played with, tickled, fondled, massaged. Let him know that you are not afraid, ashamed or disgusted. Don't start stroking or jerking quite yet. Just feel the fullness of it all. Let your fingers run from the balls to the top of the cock head, swirl around there, then slide back down the other half and end back down at the balls.The movements should be swift and smooth, without bumping or stalling. Now you're ready for some stepped-up action, but you don't want to suddenly lapse into a series of beatings, whackings, jackings and jerkings. Tease the more sensitive areas of the penis. These include: the glans and corona, and the tender part of the bottom side of his penis. Bring your palm up to the top of the glans and park it there flat out, fingers held together and stiff, thumb pointed straight out. Spin it around as if you were trying desperately to remove the tight lid of a jar. Your man will be groaning in delicious agony. The glans is super sensitive and this motion will bring him exquisite pleasure. He might grimace and cry out, and probably try to push your hand away, but he's loving every second of it. Now's your chance to be the one who ploughs ahead even though he's pleading with you to stop! After you've done this for a while, slip your hand down his testicles and ever-so-gently grab them in your fingers, softly tugging them down away from his shaft. If they are big and bulky, like Grade AA eggs, bounce them up and down a couple of times in your hand. Tell him how heavy they feel, how sexy they are. Whatever you do, don't squeeze them! This could put a real damper on your lovemaking for the rest of the day. You might notice that one of his nuts hangs lower than the other. This is perfectly normal. Once you feel comfortable with the way his balls feel in your hand, gently roll them up the underside of his shaft. Depending on their size and the amount of room in the scrotum, they will most likely reach to half way of his penis. He will like the way this feels. Now, let go of his testicles and bring your fingers together in a makeshift goosehead formation. Very lightly, begin to stroke his erection with your fingers, running them all over his sensitive shaft and balls. You may wish to slip the pocket of your goosehead handhold over the tip of his penis, letting it rest there for a few seconds. About this time the penis will probably start to emit its natural lubricant. Pre-seminal fluid is nature's way of moistening the canal of the urethra so that the spermatozoa can swim more easily out of it; it also lubricates the head of the penis. An uncircumcised penis gathers up this lubricant within the foreskin and keeps the head very moist and slick. Use the juice to lubricate the shaft. Sometimes, its musky smell can be an aromatic aphrodisiac for you both. If there is little or no pre-cum, don't be concerned. It is not a requirement, and it doesn't always appear at exactly the same time. In any case a good lubricant will work just as well. Add a drop of moisturizing lotion to the shaft and gently rub it in. Alexandra Penney, in her book, "How to Make Love to a Man", is very keen on massaging the lotion between one's hands before putting it on the penis because sometimes the cream is cold and the palm-rubbing warms it up. If your partner doesn't seem to have a very firm erection, try using a cinnamon-based ointment which you can find at your local sex novelty store or acquire through a mail catalog. The slight burning sensation often causes the penis to become rock-hard. Adding a little dab to the testicles also helps. If you really want to do a number on him, slip a dollop of Ben-Gay on his balls and watch him go through the roof. One of the secrets of great manual sex is varying your hand motions. Here are a few indispensable techniques: SWITCH HITTER Use both hands, alternating back and forth in a pattern you develop to offer him the most arousal. He will notice the difference. Don't get into a routine where the strokes are dull, and noncommittal. Give it to him good. Get him to the point where he's singing out, "I second that hand motion!" DOUBLE WHAMMY How about going double or nothing! Bring both well-lubricated hands down on his shaft. Some cocks are so big they require both hands. If your partner's doesn't, then use the other hand to caress and lightly flutter his balls, or tighten around the base of his shaft. If both hands fit along the length of the shaft, move then together, up and down, in the typical pumping motion. Pretend you're holding a baseball bat and are about to score a grand slam. You can also vary the directions of your hands, one up, one down at the same time. There's no doubt that two hands are better than one. THE ANVIL STROKE Bring one hand down, letting it stroke the penis from the top all the way to the bottom. When it hits the bottom, release it. Meanwhile you're bringing your corresponding hand down to the top of the shaft, creating an alternating beating motion, hence the name "anvil stroke." Think of those blacksmith duos who keep up a double beat pounding motion as they beat that rod of iron on a piping-hot anvil. THE SHUTTLE COCK Not many people have heard of the "shuttle cock," but it's one of the best. Take the penis in both hands, fingers lightly touching the sides of the shaft. In order to visualize the position, think of yourself holding a clarinet. Now flick the penis back and forth between your two hands by holding on to the loose skin of the shaft. Shuttling it back and forth in this manner may not seem incredibly thrilling to him at first, but pretty soon, as it builds up momentum, it will drive him out of his mind. Orgasms encountered via this method are sometimes messy, but always memorable. THE BOOKENDS Place both of your hands side by side against his shaft like a pair of bookends. Now push hard against his penis. Then lift your hands up and down. Continue in this manner for a while. The constant tugging of the skin around the balls and the mons pubis will do the trick. THE FLAME Place your hands down on either side, your fingers pointing away from the cock. Pretend you're a campfire girl and start spinning his pecker like a stick of wood. This way you'll keep the home fires burning for a long time to come. THE BASE CLUTCH Tighten your thumb and forefinger around the base of the shaft, pressing down on the balls. This will cut off the blood (acting as an impromptu cock ring) and help you steady the shaft in your hand. If the skin on it is slick and immutable, you can stroke the penis with more friction, thereby enhancing the excruciating experience. THE LOVE TUG As you are stroking him, lightly pull on the wispy strands of pubic hair sprouting from his testicles. Don't pull so hard that you remove them, but tease them gently, lovingly. This will make him holler with delight and awe at your inventiveness. THE TWO-TIMER Tickle his balls with one hand while the other jerks him up and down. THE THIGH-SWATTER Use the hand that is currently unemployed to firmly but lovingly pat his inner thighs. BEST FIST FORWARD Place your fist against his perineum as you're stroking him. He'll probably start opening his legs a little wider, giving you more space to press against. Guaranteed to drive him wild. As always, it is the psychological impact of what you are doing that makes the sex so satisfying. Let your mind escape into the uncharted wilderness of fantasy. As a sexual pioneer, it is your manifest destiny to explore the outer limits of your sensuality. From: "The Contrivor" "How to give the perfect handjob" has inspired the following additions. All of the techniques below require good lubrication... Vaseline or alboline are recommended. A fifty/fifty mixture of these two lubricants is excellent. THE MILKER Opposite of the Anvil - Hands alternate 'milking' up the penis, starting at the base and working all the way up past the tip. THE PERPETUAL PENETRATION Like the Anvil, but rather than just grabbing the penis at the top, let his penis 'penetrate' into your fist on each stroke. Before the head of his penis pops out of your hand, bring the other hand up for the next penetration. This way it seems to him like he is penetrating deeper and deeper into an infinite vagina. Make sure you keep the penetration continuous for best results. Try faster or slower to taste. THE PALM SWIRL - Use your open palm to swirl around the head, the way your tongue would lick an ice cream cone. This sensitizes the head, and will make it get larger and turn (even more) red. Try reversing direction for a surprise. TINY CIRCLES - As in "The Palm Swirl", use your open palm on his glans, but stop at each "hour of the clock", and make circular motions with your open palm. This will make this part of the head EXTREMELY sensitive, so move to the next hour after a few circles. THE RING - Make a ring with your thumb and forefinger, and pump up and down with this ring. When you get to the top, close the ring, then make him squeeze his way in as you slide back down to the bottom. THE DOOR KNOB - Turn the head of his penis like a you're trying to open a door knob coated with grease. It won't turn, but he may flip. Now try turning the other way. Repeat. THE SHAFT - Stroke only his shaft, ignoring the head. You will notice it swelling and turning red. When it's bright red and rock hard, use the Door Knob, the Palm Swirl, or the Perpetual Penetration. THE SPOT PINCH -- Lightly and slowly run a finger up the under side of his cock. Ask him to tell you where the most sensitive spot is. Pinch it, squeeze it, nibble it, tease it. This is a good spot to pinch to turn a soft cock rock solid. --------------------------------------- c3-5. What is circumcision and why is it done? From: Travis Lee Winfrey <travis@ZONKER.gs.com> "Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis. When performed in a hospital, it is usually done shortly after birth by a doctor or midwife. Circumcisions are also given to Jewish boys by a _mohel_ in a ceremony eight days after birth. Some (all?) Islamic boys are circumcised when they are older, around 12. The majority of American boys are circumcised. Common reasons for circumcision include: better hygiene, "normal" or "better" appearance, and "his penis should look like his father's." Common reasons against circumcision include: it is no longer necessary for hygienic reasons; it is a painful, barbaric practice; possibility of infection or surgical error; "normal" or "better" appearance; "his penis should look like his father's."; and "greater sensitivity of uncircumcised penis." Female circumcision is used to refer to a variety of practices, including the removal of the clitoral hood. It is primarily practised in Northern Africa.'' -------------------------------- c3-6. What is the Venus butterfly? This is allegedly a technique which is supposed to do orgasmic wonders. It was mentioned in an episode of L.A. Law, but of course, was never explained. Some people have suggested a method that might fit the name: Put your palms together, finger to finger, spread your fingers, and insert one pair of fingers into the vagina, another into the anus, plus another pair, stimulating the clitoris. This provides a sort of triple stimulation. --------------------------------------- c3-7. What are the contents of semen? From _SEX A TO Z_ by Robert M. Goldenson, Ph.D., and Kenneth N. Anderson Copyright 1989 by Walter D. Glanze, Pub. by World Almanac, P. 243: Semen content - a term usually referring to the total content of semen (whereas the term semen analysis usually refers to the analysis of sperm). The question of semen content arises especially among persons who regularly swallow semen, as in fellatio, and who are concerned about calorie intake and nutritional substances. The average ejaculate of aboutonia, ascorbic acid, blood-group antigens, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, spermidine, spermine, urea, uric acid, vitamin b12, zinc...For analysis of sperm, see SEMEN ANALYSIS. Note FRUCTOSE and SODIUM (salt) ARE listed. --------------------------------------- c3-8. Does what I eat affect the taste of semen/vaginal fluids? From: unknown The old adage "You are what you eat" has been known for a long time. I have heard that the Chinese, most of whom have a genetic trait commonly known as Lactose Intolerance, think that Westerners "smell funny" and this has been attributed to the milk in the Western diet. Regarding vegetables, one of my old girlfriends had a habit of eating a lot of sweet fruits and veggies; she tasted wonderful. On the other hand, Xaviera Hollander (The Happy Hooker; Call Me Madam) once gave advice to a man who was seriously considering becoming a gigolo: Don't eat spicy foods. Your customers will smell it in your natural odor and may end up tasting it in your semen--a bad experience to receive. --------------------------------------- c3-9. What is and where is the G-Spot? FIRST ARTICLE (Author: unknown) G wiz aka g-spot aka Grafenberg spot Summary: 1) The g-spot exists in all women. 2) sensitivity varies. 3) Reaction/interpretation/openness varies. G-spot IS female analog to prostate. It really does exist. The road map (can by used by a man/woman with a woman partner or a woman on herself). Start from the pubic bone, it is the bone running across the lower end of the abdominal region -- between the thighs and a little above the clitoris and labia. The g-spot is behind this bone -- so you need to find a way around to the other side. Fortunately, there is an alternate approach in women -- up the vagina. The walls of the vagina are somewhat wrinkly, a testimony to how much the vagina can stretch (say to the size of a baby's head). On the forward surface there is a smoother patch in about 2 knuckles (1.5-3 inches, 3.5-7 cm.). If a woman was to lay her palm on to of her clitoris and curl a finger (or fingers) in to the vagina in to a loose clench, the tips would be in the right region. The g-spot is buried under some layers of tissue so it may take some pressure to stimulate this area. Repeating some general hints. Arousal of the g-spot is usually more effective if the woman is already sexually aroused. Sharp or long nails are probably a no-no. Some pressure may be necessary. Two fingers are usually employed -- esp. since few people use mechanical typewriters (which would give fingers strength and endurance). Initial sensations in the woman may be a) discomfort, an urge to urinate (the urethra from the bladder is being stimulated), or a pleasurable sensation. As stimulation continues (few minutes), the g-spot will begin to swell. "Continued stimulation of the area _may_ result in an orgasm that is often quite intense." [see above regarding being sexually aroused -- first. No arousal -- no orgasm]. Ejaculation is possible, but the fluid is different from vaginal secretions and from urine. This does not work for all women. Discuss with your intimates. Compare notes. For some women, this area may receive stimulus in penile-vaginal intercourse given the right angles. Rear entry ("doggie style") may facilitate penile pressure in this region. If the partner you are playing with is a man, you can try for a similar effect on his prostate entering through his anus -- Long or sharp nails are a big NO-NO. You might want to use glove or condom over fingers. I should not need to say: DO NOT allow fecal material on or around woman's vagina. Note this can actually cause an ejaculation from a man without orgasm or an intense orgasm or something in between or nothing at all. PLEASE: Practice safe sex. No exchange of bodily fluids -- blood, feces (which may contain blood), semen, or female ejaculum; unless you both have been monogamous... SECOND ARTICLE (author: Peter A. Merel) ok, I got a copy of this thing from two different people, and it was the same manual, so I guess this is the authentic one after all. I also received an interesting letter from a girl in California that claimed she had written the g-spot manual. I would leave her address, but she probably wouldn't like that so if you want it, drop me a note and I'll give it to ya. Well, good luck finding it! I know I'll be having some fun tonight! Okay, I've found G-spots in three women of my acquaintance. Two of them were completely delighted with the discovery, and the other one wasn't real crazy about it no matter what. Chacun a son gout. It took some time and patience for one of the delighted ones, but the other delighted one reckoned that she'd hit it by accident a few times and just not known what happened. She responded immediately, and with gusto. Now I guess it's time for sex-ed 101, so listen up all of you who have a sexual interest in female anatomy. The rest of you probably ought to hit 'n' now. 7 will get you 2 that not a single netter hit 'n'. Well, let's start with a nice juicy diagram. You'll have to bear with my ability to render in ASCII. In an ideal world I'd sit one of the secretaries on top of the fax machine, but, sadly, we are restricted to text here. If you have access to ######### These hashes are supposed a set of female genitals ####### to be pubic hair covering I'd suggest that you ##### the pudendum. compare them with this ### schematic. Single females might like to use a mirror /U\ U is the clitoris (or two) to verify that /' . `\ . is the urethra they're set up like this. /' _ `\ The rest of the characters I should probably say { | / \ | } are supposed to be the outer that this is intended to { ` \ / ' } lips (labia majora), the represent a view of the \ ` ~ ' / inner lips (labia minora), genitals with legs spread, \ ` ' / and the vagina (or is that looking up through the torso ~|~ vulva?) as if the woman were a O O is the anus telescope. For those who never had a close look before and are a bit worried, I ought to say that, except when quite sincerely aroused, female genitals are usually not this clearly set out. The clitoris likes to hide under it's own little hood, the lips stick pretty close to one another, and it is quite likely that if the owner of the genitals is standing up and unaroused you won't really see more than some enticing tufts of hair and maybe the outer lips. Folks whose knowledge of these matters derives mainly from Playboy pictorials may be quite surprised that there's more here than 'just a hole'. Traditionally it was thought that all of the sensation available from the female genitals derived from the lips, entrance to the vagina, and especially the clitoris. In other words, what you see above. It was thought that the interior of the vagina was practically numb to sexual sensation. Now one of those old coots who spent the seventies sticking their noses into other people's intimate businesses was a guy called Grafenberg, if memory serves. Dr G. had this theory that there was an area within the vagina, which was called the Grafenberg spot or G spot, which not only was sexually sensitive but which could trigger bigger and better female orgasms than the clit and the exterior bits could by themselves. Now the trouble with Dr G.'s claim was that not everyone seemed to be able to find this spot, which he reckoned was analogous with the male prostate gland, and those that did find it didn't necessarily like it much, and so there was some controversy, especially in the popular press. A number of folks who did find it and did like it eventually sussed out the mechanics of the spot, and over the last few years there've been a number of quite good books about it. The story is basically this: The G-spot is a flat area about as big as a one or two cent piece, about two inches inside the vagina. It's just behind the pubic bone, on the vaginal wall that is closest to the belly-button. You can reach it with your index finger. If the genitals you're playing with are not very aroused then you might have difficulty finding it, or it might not feel very interesting or nice to the owner. The trick is to make those genitals very aroused, and then have a go at the G-spot. The best way is probably cunnilingus, which is latin for having a lick, but any technique that provides good stimulation of the clitoris will do for starters. Now bear in mind that I'm skipping over a lot here. I strongly recommend a good deal of foreplay before diving into a woman's muff, like at least half an hour, and longer if you like. If you can manage dinner and a good bath beforehand, even better. Actually, I reckon that a bath or a shower before sex is a reasonably good idea anyway, because we're dealing with equipment that can be quite off-putting if it's on the nose when it's on the nose, if you take my meaning. Besides, bathing is fun. So, presuming that your woman is content with the preliminaries and you're going hunting, you're going to have to begin by relaxing. Softly Softly Catchee Monkey. If you're so pent up that slamming your dick in the door has a pleasurable side to it (sorry feminists, I'm not certain what the female equivalent to that state is) then forget all this until you've had a bloody good rogering or two. Once you've achieved a state of patient interest, slowly start to stimulate the clitoris. You've got to be really careful here, because clitori are damned sensitive little beggars, and too much of a good thing is not really a good thing at all. Also, different clitori like different things. Some like quite direct stimulation, some prefer one side or the other, others are so sensitive that they like you to mainly stick to the clitoral hood or the labia. Some like a circular motion, and others like to be lightly flicked back and forth. The best way to find out what your clitoris likes is to ask it's owner, and if she doesn't know then do some experimentation. That's fun too, so don't get pissed off if it takes a little while to figure out what's good for you. As I said, my preferred method is cunnilingus, but if the owner of your clitoris doesn't like that for some reason ("no, my dear, it's not germy and it does taste rather nice") then you'll have to use your fingers. I find that the best thing for clitori is a nice regular stroke, with regular exotic interludes. Basically it's the same thing as for penises - you don't want all sorts of unpredictable jerking around, and you don't want to feel like it's caught in a vise, and you don't want it to feel like it's attached to a reciprocating engine going at 5000 revs. Take it easy. If the owner of your clitoris wants more stimulation you'll notice her writhing around and pushing it at you. If she wants less then she'll draw away. If it's just right then she'll sit where she is and enjoy it. Pay attention to what she does. So, you've got a nice regular stroke going - say, seven strokes and then something exotic, and then another seven strokes and another something exotic. Of course the G spot is in the vagina, and you're going to have to know what's going on in there if you're going to find it and do something with it. Slowly insert a finger or two. Don't grab, because that can be rude and distracting. Now hopefully the vagina that you're dealing with is well lubricated, but that won't necessarily be the case. If you spend a long time at this even the juiciest woman can start to dry out, so it never hurts to have a little lubricant handy, just in case. I'd recommend K-Y jelly, which you should be able to find at any chemist, but there are lots of alternatives. One that I wouldn't recommend is vaseline - too thick. Another is baby oil - too thin, and besides we should conserve the babies :-) You can entertain yourself by running your finger around the inside of the vagina, trying to discern its shape. Unless your female is coming (having an orgasm), you should probably find that the vagina is reasonably form-fitting, although some are tighter than others. If your female is not coming or consciously causing contractions you'll probably find that the vagina isn't doing anything in particular, just sitting there and producing lubricant. If you bring your finger to the front wall of the vagina then you'll find it less yielding than the rest, because there is a bone in front of it called the pubic bone, part of the pelvis. If you feel along this unyielding section or just beyond you may find a slightly raised area. This is the G spot. It might not be raised, but it will engorge once your female starts to come. Don't poke this spot yet. Don't do anything with it, yet. At best you won't have any effect, and at worst you'll be distracting. You've got to wait for your female to start to come. Now this might happen in thirty seconds, or it might take an hour, and you've just got to be patient and keep things regular and smooth. You'll be able to tell your woman is coming when: - she tells you - she moans one hell of a lot and her breathing changes - she flushes, over her face, neck and/or chest - her vagina begins to flutter rhythmically around your finger You may see all of these things, or you may see none of them. If you miss an orgasm, don't stop unless you or she wants to. Women have startling recuperative powers, particularly when they're receiving the right level of attention, and generosity is its own reward. Multiple orgasms are not mythical. Once you believe that your woman is coming you should shift your attention from the clitoris to the G spot. Keep up the same rhythm, but use more pressure. You may want to keep some sort of contact with the clitoris, but just as a penis becomes supersensitive during orgasm, to the point of discomfort, so can a clit. As with the clitoris, you should pay attention to whether the woman pushes towards you, draws away from you or just sits there to gauge the amount of pressure you're giving. You probably won't need to vary your speed much, but pay attention to what she says she wants. Now as you go at the G spot you'll find that your woman keeps coming for longer than you've seen before. You may even experience that most startling of sexual phenomena, a female ejaculation. I've seen three of these (actually I got a mouthful), but I can't say whether the fluid comes from the vagina or the urethra. It's quite nice, sort of like salad dressing. It's definitely not urine, and it is probably polite and hopefully reciprocal to swallow it. Keep going at that G spot. Eventually you will feel the vagina draw away from your finger - it becomes bigger and the walls get taut, and not form-fitting, sort of like a little cave. When it does this it's time to switch back to the clitoris. Keep up the same rhythm. When the vagina begins to contract on your finger again, go back to the G spot. If you keep this up for a while (and if the owner of your female genitals wants to stop, then stop - this isn't a competition), you'll find that the nature of the vaginal contractions changes. The cave effect becomes less and less frequent and you can spend more and more time with the G spot. Also, the contractions in the vagina become less simple squeezing and fluttering, and more a sort of reverse swallowing - a contraction that starts deep within the vagina and travels to its entrance. It feels a bit like the vagina is trying to push your finger out. Eventually (may take hours and patience and many tries) you've got nothing but these push-out contractions, and you can go on as long as the owner of the genitals wants to, and your tongue and fingers don't wear out. If you go on this long you're almost certainly going to need some extra lubricant, so be prepared. There you have it. At least in my experience, women can have orgasms that last orders of magnitude longer and seem to be much better than those that men can have. I guess I better add a disclaimer that all of this is only one man's experience, and I could be completely wrong about the female genitals that you have. I'm not certain there is such a thing as device independence where sexual equipment is concerned. I don't think that any of the things I've advocated can do you any harm, but see your doctor if you've doubts. The main thing is to have fun. Happy fucking. THIRD ARTICLE (for those who prefer a more scientific approach) From: N51LS801@ncsuvm.cc.ncsu.edu Message-ID: <167B7BB6F.N51LS801@ncsuvm.cc.ncsu.edu> Date: 27 Mar 92 18:19:42 GMT The following information about female ejaculation and the Grafenberg spot is quoted from a widely used, frequently revised college text on human sexuality: Robert Crooks and Karla Baur, OUR SEXUALITY, 4th ed. (Redwood City, CA: Benjamin/Cummings Pub. Co., 1990), 117, 206-208. [HQ21.C698 1990] Cited references are given at the end of the selection. The Grafenberg spot is an area located within the anterior (or front) wall of the vagina, about one centimetre from the surface and one-third to one-half way in from the vaginal opening. It is reported to consist of a system of glands (Skene's glands) and ducts that surround the urethra (Heath, 1984). This area is believed to be the female counterpart of the male prostate gland and to develop from the same embryonic tissue (Belzer, 1981; Heath, 1984). The Grafenberg spot has generated considerable interest because of reports that some women experience sexual arousal, orgasm, or perhaps an ejaculation of fluid when stimulated there. There is wide variation in response from person to person (Zaviacic et al., 1988). (117) In the last few years, a number of studies have reported that some women are capable of experiencing orgasm, and perhaps ejaculation, when an area along the anterior wall of the vagina is vigorously stimulated (Addiego et al., 1981; Alzate & Hoch, 1986; Belzer, 1981; Perry & Whipple, 1981; Sevely & Bennet, 1978; Whipple & Komisaruk, 1988; Zaviacic et al., 1988). This area of erotic sensitivity... has been named the Grafenberg spot (or G spot) in honor of Ernest Grafenberg (1950), a gynecologist who first noted the erotic significance of this location within the vagina 40 years ago. However, the presence of glandular structures in this area was noted in the medical literature over 100 years ago (Skene, 1880). Recently, it has been suggested that the Grafenberg spot is not a point that can be touched by the tip of one finger but, rather, fairly large area composed of the lower anterior wall of the vagina and the underlying urethra and surrounding glands. Adequate stimulation of this much vaginal tissue may require use of "the full breadth of the middle two fingers and at least two thirds of their lengths" (Heath, 1984, p. 205) Robert Mallon (1984), a pathologist and medical researcher, recently presented evidence of glandular material similar to prostate tissue in the Grafenberg area of 42 females examined by postmortem autopsies. Corroboration of this research was provided by another study in which complete urethras and surrounding tissue from 17 autopsied females and a portion of a urethra from one surgical specimen were examined. Over 80% of the specimens had prostatelike glandular tissue, the majority of which contained substances known to be produced by the male prostate (Heath, 1984). The Grafenberg spot, or area, may be located by "systematic palpation of the entire anterior wall of the vagina between the posterior side of the pubic bone and the cervix. Two fingers are usually employed, and it is often necessary to press deeply into the tissue to reach the spot" (Perry & Whipple, 1981, p. 29). This exploration may conducted by a woman's partner, as shown in Figure 6.9 [Diagram omitted] Some women are able to locate their Grafenberg spot through self-exploration. (206) During initial searching for the sometimes elusive Grafenberg spot, a woman or her partner must rely on the sensations produced by manual stimulation. When the area is located, women report a variety of initial sensations, including a slight feeling of discomfort, a brief sensation of needing to urinate, or a pleasurable feeling. After a minute or more of stroking the sensations usually become more pleasurable, and the area may begin to swell to a discernible size. Continued stimulation of the area may result in an orgasm that is often quite intense. Perhaps the most amazing thing about Grafenberg spot orgasms is that they are sometimes accompanied by the ejaculation of fluid from the urethral opening. Four researchers describe their observation of this event: [Begin quote] With the aid of the subject's husband, four of us (Addiego, Belzer, Perry, and Whipple) were able to observe her response to digital massage of her Grafenberg spot, which led to expulsion of liquid, and reportedly and apparently to orgasm, on several occasions. On none of these occasions did stimulation of the clitoris, direct or otherwise, appear to occur. Orgasmic expulsions occurred after less than a minute of stimulation; they were separated in a multi- orgasmic series by similarly brief periods of time. The urethral area was clearly exposed in bright light, and there was absolutely no doubt that the liquid was expelled from the urethral meatus. Sometimes it exuded from the meatus. At other times it was expelled from one to a few centimetres. On one observer occasion, expulsion was of sufficient force to create a series of we spots covering a distance of more than a meter. (Addiego et al., 1981, p. 17) [End quote] (207) Research indicates that the source of this fluid is the "female prostate"... The ducts from this system empty directly into the urethra. In some women Grafenberg orgasms result in fluid being forced through these ducts and out the urethra. In view of the homologous nature of the Grafenberg spot tissue and the male prostate, we might speculate that the female ejaculate is similar to the prostatic component of male seminal fluid. This notion has been supported by one study in which specimens of female ejaculate were chemically analyzed and found to contain high levels of an enzyme, prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), characteristic of the prostatic component of semen (Addiego et al., 1981). Many women report that the fluid has a mild semenlike scent. A later study of six female ejaculators failed to differentiate samples of their urine and the fluid they ejaculated during sexual response (Goldberg et al., 1983). However, a still more recent study of seven women who ejaculate reported that the collected urine and ejaculate samples differed substantially in the amount of PAP present (Belzer et al., 1984). The inconsistency in these findings may be due, at least in part, to a methodological problem arising from the fact that both ejaculate and urine are delivered through the urethra. A very recent study reported finding concentrations of fructose in the female ejaculate (Zaviacic et al., 1988b). (... fructose is a major component of male ejaculate.) The fructose level in the orgasmic expulsions of women is considerably higher than that found in their urine, a finding that "suggests that the female ejaculate cannot be simply regarded as urine..." (Zaviacic et al., 1988b, p. 323). We can expect that the controversy over the biochemistry of the female ejaculate will continue until, hopefully, further research clarifies the precise nature of this fluid.

Howard " <U32682@UICVM.UIC.EDU> Date: 4 March 1992 11:00:27 CST I have recently come across an very interesting short film of 15 minute length and is entitled "Nice Girls Don't Do It" by K Daymond. It is a documentary styled film which discusses what it is how it is done and then gives directions of "how to do it" The remaining text is printed without permission Female ejaculation, once thought to be normal and a pleasurable part of female sexuality came to be a symptom of the hysteric, the content of male fantasy, and the property of pornographic woman. To accept female ejaculation one has to accept sameness and the equality of male and female bodies. Both male and female bodies have prostate gland structures along the floor of the urethra and have potential to ejaculate fluids during sexual stimulation. The female body, can ejaculate fluid from 31 ducts, can with stimulation, ejaculate repeatedly; and as well, can enjoy a plurality of genital pleasure sites; the clitoris, urethra, vagina... Female ejaculation can serve only one purpose: Pleasure The film contains scenes which show or describe the following: - hot sticky fluids very fluid in nature (looks like urine IMHO) - female ejaculation is so much more powerful that it belittles what we have always seen to be powerful in man. - visible pushing of vagina and urethra through vaginal orifice. - forces man's penis out to ejaculate. - shows scenes of woman in self bondage - 40% of all women ejaculate - no high content of urine, contains prostate gland fluid (IMHO the color is wrong it is clear where it would need to be opaque) The following has been printed without permission: Directions on how to ejaculate: STEP ONE: Find the muscle and spongy tissue around that part of your urethra that is inside your vagina. It is about half a finger (more or less) inside your vagina and about a finger long across-- about two inches. If the muscles that go around your vagina have not been used much, they can be built up by doing contractions: pressing the top of your vagina against the bottom and releasing. This is fun and you could have an orgasm or two. DON'T WORRY: Strong muscles will not hold the penis in place; they will push it out when your ducts get full and you want to shoot. STEP TWO: Take two or three fingers and rub them against the part of your urethra inside your vagina. Press hard and notice the feeling of having to pee. You don't - this is the signal that you are ready to ejaculate. Now, place the middle finger slightly below the external part of your urethra and begin to masturbate the same way you rub your clit. As you are doing this you will notice that the two ducts, one at each side of your urethra, feel full and perhaps somewhat painful: you have another 29 ducts scattered over the top of your vagina. They are located in a pyramid from your clit to just above your ovaries. Once you get into the body feeling you will be able to locate them on the lower abdomen. (sounds like the urinary bladder IMHO) STEP THREE: Take your other hand and press down on one or more of the ducts from the outside. Push your urethra out and push the way you do when you pee. Liquid will come out -- perhaps in a steady stream or jet. My Summary: This seems to be a form of propaganda to make it a way for women to do the same thing as a man can do. I have dissected and studied human anatomy and there is no way this much fluid can come from anywhere but the urinary bladder. Plus during this film there is a tremendous amount of man bashing. Since I have posted these instructions I invite any woman to try it and report back!!! I am from Missouri "SHOW ME" The summary is strictly my opinion, responses can be directed to me. Carlos Subject: women who squirt Date: 1 Apr 92 05:51:00 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Female ejaculation does not require direct g-spot stimulation. A few days ago, I read a summary of research concerning the g-spot and female ejaculation. The summary described the location and activity of the g-spot, stressing that stimulation of the spot required at least two fingers, quite far in, against the anterior wall of the vagina. It talked about female ejaculation as if it were a direct consequence of hands-on stimulation of the g-spot. Interestingly enough, two days after reading all that, I had the privilege of observing a woman ejaculate. As in other reports, this was in the form of a pearly liquid squirted out of the vagina (travelling a centimetre or two) at the onset of an orgasm. For what it's worth, the ejaculate tasted saltier than the normal slippery stuff. Also, it left a strange aftertaste in the back of my throat that was very similar to what I've observed of male ejaculate. The woman reported a much more intense orgasm than usual, but wasn't immediately aware that she had ejaculated. The reason I am posting about this experience (aside from the opportunity to brag ;-) is that it differed from published reports in an interesting way: no direct stimulation of the g-spot was involved. In fact, no penetration at all was involved: stimulation of the clitoris and entrance to the vagina and previously, the nipples brought the ejaculation on. Others who are not into penetration might want to keep this in mind, though I don't think i can offer a formula for ejaculation as the scientists seem to. By way of idle speculation, I have started to wonder how much conditioning goes into sexual response. Currently, we see men as easy to bring off and uniquely capable of ejaculation. Since women are apparently also capable of ejaculation, it is not obvious that the common view is at all justified. Perhaps if female children were taught as much as males to expect to ejaculate, they would acquire this ability while learning to masturbate. --------------------------------------- c3-11. What about Oral/vaginal sex during a woman's period? What about it? For oral sex, this is a taste/smell issue; some people like it, some people don't. If both partners have no objections, go for it! I know women for whom orgasm is a wonderful reliever of cramps. As for vaginal sex, well, you need less lubricant. It's messy; use something (perhaps a red towel) to protect the bedsheets. Or do it in the shower, get clean and dirty at the same time! --------------------------------------- c3-12. What percent of men and women masturbate? and at what frequency? According to Masters and Johnson in their book 'On Sex and Human Loving' third printing, page 295: Data about masturbation are a bit tricky to interpret. You may recall that Kinsey and his colleagues found a wide discrepancy in the incidence of masturbation between male and female adolescents, but some recent studies suggest that this difference may be narrowing (see chapter 6). A similar trend may also be occurring in regard to masturbatory behavior in adulthood. The kinsey reports stated that 92 percent of the males and 62 percent of the females queried had masturbated at least once in their lives. More recently, two separate studies came up with very similar statistics: The _Playboy_ survey (Hunt, 1975) found that 94 percent of 982 males and 63 percent of 1,044 adult females had masturbated, and Arafat and Cotton's study (1974) of 435 college students found masturbatory experience in 89 percent of males and 61 percent of females. However, Levin and Levin (1975), summarizing data from a _Redbook_ questionnaire survey answered by 100,000 women, found that almost three-quarters of the married women had masturbated since marriage. Providing additional evidence that more women seem to have tried masturbation today than in the past decades, Hite reported that 82 percent of her sample of 3,000 women had masturbatory experience.

What can one do about premature ejaculation? From "Human Sexuality" a brief edition by James Leslie McCary. D. Van Nostrand Company, Copyright 1973, ISBN 0-442-25236-6 The Treatment of Premature Ejaculation Given the cooperation of his lover, a man can train himself (except when the cause is purely physical) to withhold orgasm until both want it to happen. The main enemy is the fear and anxiety engendered in the man by previous failures. Once he gains confidence in his "staying power" and accepts the fact that all men face the problem at one time or another, the battle is half won. To assist him toward confidence in his abilities, several routes can be taken. Some counsellors recommend that a local anesthetic (for example, Nupercainal) be applied to the penile glans--care being taken not to smear any of the ointment on the woman's vulva--a few minutes before the beginning of intercourse. The assumption is that the deadening effect will decrease the sensitivity of the penis and delay ejaculation. Others prescribe the wearing of one or more condoms to reduce the stimulation generated by the friction of intercourse and the warmth and moisture within the vagina. Since muscular tension is a notorious catalyst in ejaculation, premature ejaculation may be prevented by the man's lying beneath the woman and thus taking a more passive role in coitus. (Sexual intercourse in the cramped confines of an automobile is unsatisfactory for many reasons, one of which is that it often creates muscular tension that terminates in early ejaculation.) Some men also find that taking a drink just before coitus helps, since alcohol is a deterrent in all physiological functioning. Other men claim similar success through concentrating on singularly unsexy thoughts, such as their income tax payments. (It is suggested, however, that these men take care not to let their partners know of their diversionary thoughts, lest they be dumped from the bed before ejaculation, premature or otherwise!) Having an orgasm and, after a short rest, attaining another erection often permit a man to experience a more prolonged act of coitus the second time. Some men masturbate shortly before they expect to have sexual intercourse; because their sex drive will thereby be decreased, they can then prolong intercourse later. The technique of delaying the man's orgasm can be learned, and probably the best method is one requiring the cooperation of both the man and his sex partner. The best chance of success lies in both partners' consulting a psychotherapist who will, first of all, assure the couple that premature or early ejaculation is a reversible phenomenon. The couple will then be instructed in the somewhat complicated technique of bringing about the reversal of premature ejaculation. The technique requires that the woman manually stimulate her partners' genitals until the point that he feels the very earliest signs of "ejaculatory inevitability." (This is the stage of a man's orgasmic experience at which he feels ejaculation of seminal fluid coming, and can no longer control it.) At that moment he signal the woman with such a pre-agreed word as "now", and she immediately ceases her massage of the penis. She then quickly squeezes its glans, or head, by placing her thumb on the frenulum (on the lower surface of the glans) and two fingers on the top of the glans, applying rather strong pressure for 3 or 4 seconds. The pressure will be uncomfortable enough to cause the man to lose the urge to ejaculate. Such "training sessions" should continue for 15 to 20 minutes, with alternating periods of sexual stimulation and squeezing. In later sessions, the man inserts his penis in the woman's vagina as she sits astride him until he senses impending orgasm, at which point he withdraws and she once more squeezes the penis to stop ejaculation. Use of these techniques is continued un further sexual encounters until, progressively, the man is capable of prolonged sexual intercourse, in any position, without ejaculating sooner than he wishes. Two notes of caution should be sounded to those using this technique. First, the technique will be unavailing if the man himself applies the pressure to his penis; and, second, the couple must not treat this newfound sexual skill as a game and overdo it. If the technique is overused, the man may eventually find that he has become insensitive to the stimulation and unable to respond to it. He may then develop new fears, this time about his potency, and risk developing secondary impotence. The guidance of a therapist is strongly recommended in the treatment of premature ejaculation to prevent such secondary problems. Masters and Johnson report a 97.8% success rate in the treatment of premature ejaculation. In any discussion of premature ejaculation, a word of caution must be injected. It is important to understand that at any one time or another almost every man has experienced ejaculation more swiftly than he or his partner would have liked. The essential thing is that the man not became anxious over possible future failures. Otherwise what is a normal, situational occurrence may become a chronic problem. --------------------------------------- c3-15. Is it possible for men to be multi-orgasmic? From: sawyer@hubble..westford.ccur.com (George Sawyer) Keywords: NEMO, Taoist Yoga, Sexual techniques Message-ID: <62486@masscomp.westford.ccur.com> Date: 4 Nov 91 16:49:14 GMT The following is a modified repost of my answer to "Postie's query" I study and teach Taoist esoteric yoga, and among the practices are sexual techniques which are VERY EFFECTIVE. There are solo techniques, and partner techniques. They require ongoing practice and, for men, realistically speaking, the partner techniques require a practising partner. A basic concept is that you can have an orgasm without ejaculating. Since ejaculation takes you through the refractory period & etc. cycle as well as emptying your fluid level, it tends to limit activity. Remove this constraint and you can go on as long as you want. (Have as many orgasms as you want). When you get close to the point of ejaculatory inevitability, you perform the techniques, which pull the sexual energy out of your testes / prostate up to your brain & compress the prostate causing partial loss of erection & subsiding of prostate. When the energy moves upward, you have an non-ejaculatory orgasm. The only way I can describe the orgasm experience is to compare it to some types of psychedelic drug experiences - except that you are in control and can stop immediately if you want. The more you practice, the longer and stronger the effects are. An orgasm of 5 to 10 minutes is "quite easy" and you can become able to have one of more than an hour with "determined practice". About an hour twenty minutes is my personal best (from solo practice at that) and I made it stop because I was getting too high. You tend to rest for a few or several minutes after each orgasm, being with your partner, and then optionally doing it again. Use lots of lubricant. There are different levels of orgasm, the initial one being a "senses" orgasm, in which you experience amplified pleasure from all your senses simultaneously. Since this includes touch, it is a bodywide experience. An "unexpected" benefit for men is that you will always have more energy after sex than before, thus dramatically reducing the "roll off and snore" syndrome. Also, after sex you will feel much closer to your partner and much more connected than prior. Many people have intense experiences of total connection and submersion into each other. It is also a First Class system for being celibate. Completely eliminates wet dreams, and gives you a fair amount of choice about whether to allow yourself to become aroused or not. Over the long term you develop some degree of control over your sexual desire in general. Feels great (even the non-aroused solo practice), and doesn't require "struggle and effort". The non-aroused solo practices are being done by individuals in many Christian monasteries & nunneries in Europe. Downsides. NOT TO BE IGNORED For men, it only really works if your partner practices too. Otherwise they get BORED watching you have extended orgasms while they wait. Initially, it is QUITE DIFFICULT not to ejaculate, and you will need cooperation from your partner at the WORST possible times - "I need to stop NOW!". It does not work well with promiscuity. It takes time to learn - I'll say an average of 6 months to beginning of competence and control, and requires 15min to 30min per day of various meditative practices. Realistically, most people don't stick to it long enough to be able to do it. Success rate among persistent people is very high, and the practices are not difficult. Some women find it really weird if you don't ejaculate, and you can really fuck up your relationship/marriage if you don't take care of your significant other first and foremost. That is far more important than mastery of sex techniques. These techniques are not part of a religion, no Deities to believe in, no statues, none of that. The techniques are described quite clearly in: "Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male sexual energy" (men's) "Healing Love thru the Tao: Cultivating Female sexual energy" (women's) Both are written by Mantak and Manewan Chia, and widely available at New Age bookstores. The pre-requisite is: "Awakening Healing Energy Thru the Tao" Most people find these reference books a bit much, and take one day courses.

From: sesharp@happy.colorado.edu Message-ID: <1991Oct5.231811.1@happy.colorado.edu> Date: 6 Oct 91 05:18:11 GMT Kegel exercises (pronounced "Kay-gill", in case you ever actually have a conversation about them) were invented to give women better bladder control. They have a number of useful advantages in sex. In women, they can help tighten the vagina, particularly after childbirth. The muscles can also be used deliberately during intercourse to stimulate her partner. They have a variety of uses for men. As I already mentioned, they strengthen the muscles used in seminal retention, making that technique more effective. They can make ejaculation more powerful. This may increase male enjoyment somewhat and female enjoyment if she is sensitive to it. Deliberate twitches during intercourse are also useful for males. Knowing how to force relaxation of the muscles can help maintain control and prevent premature ejaculation, as well as relieving the muscle cramps that can occur from too many ejaculations in succession. For females: My recollection of the exercise regimen taken from the older ESO book is as follows. First you have to identify the PC muscles and get them under conscious control. Starting and stopping urination is one method. Inserting a finger into the vagina to feel the contractions or watching the movement of the erect penis is another. Once it is under control, there are three kinds of exercises. The first is to clench the muscle and hold it for two seconds before releasing it. The second is to bear down as though constipated, using the abdominal muscles to force the PC muscles to relax. I find that alternating reps of these two works well. The third exercise is a fast twitch of the muscle, with repetitions as close together as possible, similar to orgasmic contractions. An initial set of exercises consists of 10 repetitions of each exercise. Five sets should be performed in a day. As strength improves, the number of repetitions in a set is increased. Around 30 repetitions in a set is suggested as a good number for retaining good muscle tone. The exercises are unobtrusive and can be performed almost anywhere. For males: Kegel exercises might indeed help with [increasing the force of ejaculation]. Here is how they are performed by males. First you have to learn to consciously control the muscles. One way of doing this is to use them to stop and start urination repeatedly. When you have an erection, contracting them causes it to move, making them easy to identify. Once you have the muscles identified, there are three types of exercises to do: 1) try contracting the muscles and holding them that way for a slow count of ten. You may not be able to last that long at first, but that is why you are exercising. 2) force them to relax by bearing down as though you were constipated and trying to force a bowel movement. 3) twitch (contract and release) the muscles as fast as you can ten times in a row. I find that it works well to alternate each of the first type with one of the second type. I don't recall how many of these are recommended. Something like ten of each to start, eventually working up to a hundred. In addition to the possibility of increasing the force of ejaculation, these may increase the number of contractions and the total enjoyment. The same muscles can also be used to reduce the amount of semen in an ejaculation by contracting them as hard as possible during it. This leaves a less than satisfied feeling, usually accompanied by an urgent desire for another orgasm 10 to 20 minutes later. This can be useful if your partner wants more sex than you do. Supposedly, increasing the strength of the muscles can increase this effect to allow quite a few orgasms in a row. --------------------------------------- c3-17.
