Are you a good lover?

Straughn

A simple enough premise, but one i'm sure makes a smidge of contention in the real world.

I don't mean to ask for lurid details about things, where the guesses will be left to us to interpret your own take on some fantastic voyage ... i mean more to ask if you find yourself attentive and capable in circumstances that don't exclusively deal with someone whom you've developed a necessary tactile and emotional rapport with.

Please refrain from any particular vulgarity, if you would.

Is it just me that feels that this is some form of job interview for a part in a threesome?

Depends on your definition of "virgin", doesn't it?
And she corrected me ... she meant "yelper" instead of "crier" *shrug*
Seriously though - for you specifically - on your wedding night (or whenever you get your cherry popped), how prepared do you think you'll be for that? (not a trap)

Well, no wedding happening for me any time soon. So who needs to worry about that? I have to get a girl to like me first. Every time I think that happens, its a big let down..


But in the case of marriage, I likely will marry someone who is sort of like me, so it won't matter too much about how many times I make her orgasm or whatever, but rather the fact that we get to share intimacy together.

Integrity is something that women are attracted to ... composure ... confidence. And if you're being you when they perceive it, you are myriad times better off. If it takes a while, it's still worth it.

Never had it in mind to begin with, at least in any concrete way. The older I got, the less I thought about it, until the impulse left completely. No regrets, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for whom it isn't a natural inclination. :p

I'm generally really open-minded. I -think- I'm normally up for sex whenever...its wanted. I like to engage in my lover's fantasies - making him happy makes me happy. Umm, I wish I was better than I am. I don't know, perhaps it's just insecurity, but perhaps Rotovia knows if I'm a good lover, haha.

I don't know, to be perfectly honest. My one experience was a few years ago and I haven't really had any experience since. I'd like to THINK I would be, since I'm quite attentive and affectionate and whatnot, but I couldn't tell you without some more experience. (Experience I'm not likely to get any time soon.)

I guess this is where I come in.

Neesika is amazing in bed, on the floor, rack or in back seat of the car as the case may be.

She is sexy, enthusiastic, talented and loves to please. She doesn't fail in that either.

Plus she has boundless sexual energy which can really wear a couple like my wife and I out. Several times a night and the mornings after as well for a week straight can make for a very sore but permagrinning SB.

Sumamba Buwhan and his wife are fantastic lovers! His wife is sadistic and rough and beat the hell out of me to my great enjoyment. I left each time with the imprint of her nails all over my back, not to mention huge bruises everywhere. SB is...very enjoyably girthed and wonderfully skilled. Filthy minds, the both of them!

I read this today:

'We live in a culture that teaches women how to be sexy but not how to have good sex,' says Sharkey. 'The whole mainstreaming of porn means that a lot of young women see sex as a performance, not as an experience that you share with another person that feels good for both of you.'

http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/relationships/story/0,,2283685,00.html

which sums up most of my sexual experience. I would say that in the past I put on a great performance, judging from the feedback I got, but now I'm finally in a genuinely loving relationship with someone I trust, I'm learning how to enjoy sex :)
Hotwife
16-06-2008, 20:28

You're ALREADY a god, a poll option, and a nightmare pinnacle. I guess it was a given that you'd give good advice about what to do with your mouth as well.
Two things - one, as i was away from my computer today, working (or something like it), it came to me that it would be you posting this. And it came to pass.

Sumamba Buwhan and his wife are fantastic lovers! His wife is sadistic and rough and beat the hell out of me to my great enjoyment. I left each time with the imprint of her nails all over my back, not to mention huge bruises everywhere. SB is...very enjoyably girthed and wonderfully skilled. Filthy minds, the both of them! Poor innocent me...corrupted by that perverted Vegas couple...I think the two of you actually set an excellent example of what i would hope to hear more of .... not just the obvious voyeurism implied, but the actual success of you folk hookin' up. :)

Well, I'm a knowledgeable lover. :p

Am I good? I'll ask my SO and report back; he's the only one who'd know. Personally, I'd say he's better than I, if only because I had a heck of a lot of book knowledge and a lot less practical experience until time and comfort levels allowed me to explore, whereas he had no qualms right from the beginning. Plus, I'm a pretty good teacher. ;) And it's very obvious when he's doing something right, so he learnt very quickly.

Mostly, I think we've both come a long way... but as I said earlier, I'll have to ask, since I can't really answer for myself.

I can't really imagine it either - being asexual by nature, that is. I can assure you, though, that even a perfectly normal libido can/will diminish and ultimately dissipate over a long enough timespan and under the right conditions. :pQuite true.

You're ALREADY a god, a poll option, and a nightmare pinnacle. I guess it was a given that you'd give good advice about what to do with your mouth as well.
Two things - one, as i was away from my computer today, working (or something like it), it came to me that it would be you posting this. And it came to pass.
And two, i surely heard a strange news story today that helped convince me i wasn't making up the idea that you'd post this. When i find it i'll post it.

If it's an article about that Ronald McDonald statue painted to look naked and placed in an erotic pose with a Grimace statue, they never proved I had anything to do with it!

a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing); "they heard a violent report followed by silence"

I claim no expertness. :p It's just something I happen to do with my spare time; research and answer questions.

As for your question... well, I'd say most of us are answering in terms of "do you think you have good physical skills in bed". Being a good lover, in my opinion, relies very little on your actual "talents", so to speak, and depends almost entirely on your ability to communicate/willingness to experiment and learn. After all, what makes a universal good lover, when people's kinks/needs/desires/turn ons are so incredibly diverse? What gets one person off might be bizarre and alien to another. So relying on physical talents is only going to get you so far with certain people.

Instead, I'd say a good lover is someone who can communicate his/her needs, as well as ask after his/her partner's needs. A good lover is willing to both learn and teach as the situation requires, is open and unashamed about his/her needs, will try something new, respects his partner as well as himself, and *cares* about his partners happiness/pleasure/comfort. Physical acts can be learnt, and very often are - as well as fine-tuned - over time and familiarity with one's partner. But nothing will ever progress if you can't talk about what you want in the first place, or listen to what your partner wants. A good lover is comfortable enough to say, "Hey, this isn't working for me. Maybe we could try this instead?

So, in truth, I'd say I am a good lover, in that I am constantly learning, asking questions, experimenting, *telling* my SO when I would like something done a certain way, or differently, or exactly the way he's doing it. Would I consider myself as being extremely talented in bed? Eh. I'm still learning. Every experience makes me a little better. I certainly know a few, but hey, I've been sleeping with my SO for two years. I'd better have picked a few up by now.

In knowledge of yourself as a good lover, are you able to recognize that another person also is without necessarily negotiating the concept of mutual intimacy/sex with them?
As in, after you've hooked up with someone, have you had them tell you they knew the two of you would hook up, based on a "kind of chemistry" that wasn't charged with innuendo/hit-ons/the usual efforts (while still being right of course)? Or when you first meet you know instantly that you're sexually compatible although neither of you discussed it, even with/without many subtle cues? I don't mean just being sexually attracted to superficial appearance, of course.

I don't mean just being sexually attracted to superficial appearance, of course.

I really can't answer that in terms of personal experience, because... so far, I have kissed only one person in my life, let alone hooked up with. (Actually, that's a lie - I kissed another guy, once, when my SO and I weren't together for a couple months. But that barely counts as an anything.) Anyway, with my SO, it was a long process of falling for each other before we ever got to the kissing or hooking up, and while looking back I don't know how I believed we *wouldn't* get together, at the time, neither of us thought we would. We were young and silly.

I have certainly met people who I believe, were the situation to arise, that I would be sexually compatible with... but I obviously can't prove my suspicions right or wrong. Do I think it's possible? Yes. I think you can spark amazing chemistry with someone over... well, next to nothing, and it can prove to be monumental sex. I just have no experience in the area to speak of, so I'm going purely by speculation.

We'll say over 10 and under 50. So I guess so.He actually told you?
I never felt it was important to ask or to tell on that one, since in my experience it fomented a low level-yet-consistent competition mentality that often had a significant whiff of resentment on the part of my lover. Of course, living in a small town has certain ways around the uncertainty of that ... favourite quote used in that town was "you don't lose your bf/gf, you lose your place in line".

But how do you feel about yourself as a lover? Do you feel he's right?

I never felt it was important to ask or to tell on that one, since in my experience it fomented a low level-yet-consistent competition mentality that often had a significant whiff of resentment on the part of my lover.

He never told me an exact number, mostly because he doesn't really know exactly, but we've discussed it, yes. We talk about all kinds of things, it just came up in conversation, not like either of us needed to know who the other had been with. He claims most of it was the result of low self-esteem when he was young and thinking each time someone wanted to sleep with him might be the last (I have no idea why, he is absolutely gorgeous in addition to all the real reasons I love him). I am not a competitive person, and even if I was, I would have known before he told me that I lost that competition--I've only been with one other person.

But how do you feel about yourself as a lover? Do you feel he's right?

I have a mountain of experience with one person, but very little with anyone else, so it's difficult to say. I certainly think that what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm. ;)

Personally, there is nothing that held me back more or ruined the mood more than having body issues. It didn't help that things got more and more tense between us as my weight loss became more visible. Strangely, the only time I was able to really let go of my self-analysis was when we were in bed. Only time I had more important things on my mind. ;)

I would say that I'm a decent lover. I try to be attentive to my ladyfriend's body language and ask if she's okay if something seems to be wrong. Her being happy makes me happy, and her pleasure excites me. By now I've figured out a lot of things she likes, and some things that she doesn't, and I like cuddling with her, which is good, since she is a very cuddling person. So yeah, I guess I'm ok.

"What do you want?"
"Whatever you want."
"Aw, that's sweet, but seriously."
"I was being serious."
"Okay, but what would you prefer I want?"
"...whatever you actually do want."
"No, c'mon, you must want something."
"I want to do what you want!"
"Right, right, but if I were to do this, would that be good?"
"Mmm, yes."
"How about this?"
"Yes..."
"But that one was stupid and totally unsexy!"
"Oh. Okay, then you shouldn't do it."
"But you said you liked it?"
"I thought you liked it, so I did."
"But I want to know what you want!"
"I want what you want! That's really and truly and honestly what I want. I want you to be happy because when you are happy I'm happy. I want you to be turned on because turning you on turns me on. Please?"
"...I totally don't understand how that works, but, heck, I can't really complain. Get over here and do this thing I want, then."

The thing is, your 'goodness' as a lover is going to depend on the particular tastes of your partner, and their ability to make them clear to you. If your partner just wishes you'd lie there perfectly still and quiet and you're writhing and moaning, then you're not going to be 'good' at that moment.

So relying on physical talents is only going to get you so far with certain people.

Instead, I'd say a good lover is someone who can communicate his/her needs, as well as ask after his/her partner's needs. A good lover is willing to both learn and teach as the situation requires, is open and unashamed about his/her needs, will try something new, respects his partner as well as himself, and *cares* about his partners happiness/pleasure/comfort.

a good lover would not be one who "loves" (in the physical~sex sense) with one who he or she is not emotionally involved with. that would be more of one who is physical adept at sex with whomever yet devoid of love (the emotional type).

in my OPINION: Love is an Action of giving. one gives to one who is in need. usually the act is one graciousness and seldom manifested thru the act of sex. under this perspective Love can be given to anyone without the necessity of a "tactile and emotional rapport with" they who is receiving the act of love.

In either case, regardless of one's definitions ~ esoteric or superficial ~ i am not a good lover. I am an outstanding lover. ;p

Interesting question, although it's a little hard to imagine someone with low self-confidence being able to be truly satisfying to their lover.That's what makes me wonder when/if a lover is trying harder to please their lover than themselves.

People will answer that way more often than that, in my experience.

Fair enough. Well thought out, i appreciate that. :)

Heh. No, it was with respect. I thought it was sweet. I'm a strange girl, I'll admit.Which, of course, makes you that much more attractive a person, imnsho. :)

He never told me an exact number, mostly because he doesn't really know exactly, but we've discussed it, yes. We talk about all kinds of things, it just came up in conversation, not like either of us needed to know who the other had been with. He claims most of it was the result of low self-esteem when he was young and thinking each time someone wanted to sleep with him might be the last (I have no idea why, he is absolutely gorgeous in addition to all the real reasons I love him). I am not a competitive person, and even if I was, I would have known before he told me that I lost that competition--I've only been with one other person.That's cool. I hope that the fact he's your ex is really what's best for the both of you, because i rarely hear this much respect and appreciation about an ex from anyone.

I certainly think that what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm. ;)
Hallelujah!! :D

I'd like to be more engergetic,I've had people tell me some interesting stories about E, but staying awake and not distracted are all that i shoot for myself these days. :p
do more 'on top',Do you mean, like juggle while whistling the Andy Griffith theme or something?
be more feminine (in terms of the way I act, you know the whole "lady on the street, freak in the bed" thing. Compared with the inverse?
And, of course, there's the whole *body issues* thing. Yeahhhhh.Chez WHAT? :confused:

Very much so. I know I'm kind of a weirdo in thisAlways a great preamble to any sexual context. :D

but it's true. I've had some approximation of the following discussion with everyone I've ever hooked up with:

"What do you want?"
"Whatever you want."
"Aw, that's sweet, but seriously."
"I was being serious."
"Okay, but what would you prefer I want?"
"...whatever you actually do want."
"No, c'mon, you must want something."
"I want to do what you want!"
"Right, right, but if I were to do this, would that be good?"
"Mmm, yes."
"How about this?"
"Yes..."
"But that one was stupid and totally unsexy!"
"Oh. Okay, then you shouldn't do it."
"But you said you liked it?"
"I thought you liked it, so I did."
"But I want to know what you want!"
"I want what you want! That's really and truly and honestly what I want. I want you to be happy because when you are happy I'm happy. I want you to be turned on because turning you on turns me on. Please?"
"...I totally don't understand how that works, but, heck, I can't really complain. Get over here and do this thing I want, then."
"Yaaaaay!"It really is a shame that sigs are limited to "8" lines. :(

The thing is, your 'goodness' as a lover is going to depend on the particular tastes of your partner, and their ability to make them clear to you. If your partner just wishes you'd lie there perfectly still and quiet and you're writhing and moaning, then you're not going to be 'good' at that moment.
True. I had two thoughts immediately in response to this - one, being those little SimSpeak balloons with the plus and minus (and what we were talking about earlier with enunciation) ... and two, this makes me wonder how many people are into roleplay to strengthen the bond/exacerbate the differences with their lover. I think that was already on another thread though.

That depends on the moaner, the kind of moan, the pitch and timbre of the moan, and the cause-effect modulation of the moan. Never write sexual sounds off until you've heard them all...and I don't think anyone has.
This reminds me of the joke Seinfeld was saying about not following people to their jobs and heckling them. :p

Because a low level of self confidence tends to be self-defeating and typically leads to lesser results.

Well, while that makes sense, people who suffer from a low level of self confidence don't neccesarily feel that way all day. I used to suffer from a low level of self confidence (I don't anymore, I'm probably one of the most confident people I know, haha!), however, when with my lover any sort of issues about myself flew out the window.

Yep. Bulimia.

Ditto. I had it for five years.

How are you nowadays?

I've had people tell me some interesting stories about E, but staying awake and not distracted are all that i shoot for myself these days. :p

I don't think I need E to be more energetic in bed, I just need to be less lazy, haha.


Do you mean, like juggle while whistling the Andy Griffith theme or something?

Not exactly. ;)

Compared with the inverse?

Exactly, haha.

Chez WHAT? :confused:

Sometimes I really want to be alone
But that's one state I'm never in
Because I know that I've got millions upon millions
Of tiny, one-celled organisms living on my skin

(Germs) I rub and scrub until my flesh is raw and bleeding
(Germs) But they just come right back again
(Germs) I can't even see 'em, but I know they're up to something
Hey, don't touch that - you don't know where it's been

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

Now if I ever dare to go to sleep
That's when they start their sneak attack
In the morning I wake up in utter horror
To find my teeth are covered with bacterial plaque

(Germs) Can't get those parasitic creatures off my face
(Germs) And there's more comin' every day
(Germs) I never said that they could camp out on my body
I wish they'd pack their tiny little bags and move away

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They're creepin' around my shorts
They're under the bathroom sink
They're ridin' inside my car
They're swimmin' in every drink
They're hidin' between my toes
They're lurkin' in every kiss
I got 'em way up my nose
In every orafice
I'm gonna show them who's boss
I'm gonna get even yet
Just gimme some Lysol spray
Just hand me a moist towelette
Don't tell me I'm paranoid
I know that they're after me
Look under the microscope
See??

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They're all over me
I can feel 'em all over me
Over every part of me
Microscopic bacteria
I know they're watching me
They're always watching me
They're coming after me
Microscopic bacteria
Won't somebody help me
Please somebody help me
You've got to believe me
They're out to get me
They wanna control me
They wanna destroy me
They're tryin' to kill me
It kind of upsets me

Not generally (as anyone who knows me would attest), just seemed like a good place to put a joke in at my expense.
Things i find unbecoming about my body/self? Well, one thing that's kinda complicated to have to explain, but i'll suffice to say it has to do with an ulcer and martial arts training i was going through in 7th grade that has had an effect on my sensitivities to things, including sex.
I've got other problems of course, but this one is the only one that comes to mind in this context.
