  1. Alot of women need foreplay. If a woman is not in the right mood for sex, she isn't moist enough and intercouse or fingering will hurt.”

  2. Many (many) girls need several minutes (sometimes 10/20/30) of foreplay just to feel aroused enough to enjoy sex.

    If you don't give a girl the right amount of foreplay, it is like a guy trying to have sex with a semi-erect or flacid penis. It probably won't work and she certainly won't enjoy it as much as she should (if at all!).

    Some many guys think foreplay is a boring hassle but if they were in the girls position, they would realise it is often essential and not a matter of 'being in the right mood'.

    Of course, sometimes sex works without foreplay and sometimes 'mental' foreplay is enough. Sexual partners should take each situation individually and do what is needed to make sex enjoyable for both.”

  3. I think foreplay is very important. It won't always happen, but if you put the effort in, you get the rewards at the end of it. Women and some men don't just want to make love/ have sex. It's about that intimacy as well and the build up.”

I don’t think foreplay is that big a deal. I don’t really enjoy it.”

    “I think foreplay has to be um something that’s negotiated or explored between two people for it to be as comfortable and as enjoyable for both of them.”
