Forget what you know about Foreplay

When you hear the word foreplay, a familiar scenario probably springs to mind. Maybe your idea of heating up for sex is ten minutes of kissing and touching, maybe it’s a lengthy oral session, or maybe it’s thirty seconds of fingering (no judgement here!).

No matter how we get the ball rolling on a personal level, our notions about foreplay are generally the same across the board. It’s considered the precursor to sex; the prologue; the starter.

At least, this is what we’ve been taught. There’s been a discourse for some time on improving sex for women by focussing on foreplay, because we tend to ‘warm up’ to sex in a different way than men.
