As many of you have probably found out, most women consider "Foreplay" a very important part of sex. And there is very good reason for this. Our bodies don't react sexually as fast as yours does. We need some warm up time to get into the mood. While each woman is different as far as how much foreplay she requires before she is sexually aroused, studies have found that most women all like the same type of foreplay. So based on that theory, and some of my own experiences as well ;-) I've put together a list of "Foreplay Tips For Couples."

Hugging:
This is a great way to start off your sexual romp. Most women love to be hugged. To be held tight by their lover. This gives us a protective feeling and tells us you want to be close to us. It's easy to do, just start by holding your lover close and pressing her body against yours. While hugging her lightly kiss her neck and shoulders.

Petting:
While laying down run your hands lightly and softly up and down, exploring the peek and valleys of her body. Some women love to have this done to their neck, shoulders and back. Others, like to have their buttocks gently massaged. And yet others love their breasts softly caressed. This will all depend on where your lover's erogenous zones are. If you're both undressed gently kiss and lick these areas as well. She'll be like putty in your hands, ready to be molded in any way you want.

Kissing:
It's important to start off slowly. Just a soft pressing of your mouth against hers. No tongue to start. After a few of these kisses slowly start to push your tongue out just a little bit, hopefully enticing her to open her mouth. As her mouth opens gently slide your tongue in a little further. Then press your lips against hers a bit harder and with a bit more passion. From there move to kissing other parts of her body as well.

By this point your lover should be really turned on. If you both still have your clothes on it's time to start removing them - slowly. Start with her top and bra.

Caressing Her Breasts:
Place your hand on her breast. Softly caress it. Use your forefinger and thumb to gently squeeze her nipple. See how erect it is. She is really turned on. Now stop and take a moment to tell her how beautiful she is and how much she is turning you on. Women want to be told this, and now would be the perfect time. Then softly take her nipple into your mouth, run your tongue around it's hardness. Use your hand to softly caress her other breast.

What happens next will depend on you and your lover. But, it's now time to explore her vagina. You can gently place your hands between your lovers legs. If she is still wearing panties gently rub her private area while still kissing her body. Slowly move her panties to the side and gently explore her clitoris. Very lightly rub her clit with your fingers. Or, if you like you could go down on her using your tongue to softly stimulate her clitoris. Either way, that's up to you and your lover.

The important thing to remember about "Foreplay" is that it should be done gradually. Slowly increase the physical and emotional sensitivity. As the arousal mounts you increase the stimulation bit by bit. By following these simple "Foreplay Tips For Couples" you and your partner will have the most erotic, but sensual love making sessions ever.

Happy Foreplay!
