Sexual Techniques





     Sexual techniques are a subject that most people will pay attention to when discussed.  Everyone loves to be pleased and when trying to fine tune techniques it is wise to know what others like, especially ones partner.  The first form of pleasure someone may experience, masturbation, teaches an individual what parts of the body bring pleasure; however, many people condemn masturbation as sinful (Bullough, 2002 as restated by Rathus, et. al., 2005).  Another form of pleasure (i.e. kissing and touching) is referred to as petting or foreplay.  Finally, sexual intercourse and how diversity provides pleasure.  Through varied techniques, pleasure can be had by all.
     Manual stimulation of the genitals is one of the earliest forms of pleasure, as indicated by Rathus, et. al. (2005), even before understanding what sexual pleasure is.  According to Rathus, et. al. (2005), masturbation has, for century’s, been thought of as sinful because it is a non-procreative sexual act and thus mentally and physically harmful.  While masturbation is not usually physically harmful, studies have found there are many reasons people masturbate; some reasons are physical pleasure, to relieve sexual tension, partner does not want to engage in sexual activity, and fear of AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (Laumann and colleagues, 1994, as restated by Rathus, et. al. (2005).
     As a young person advances in maturity, he or she may begin to experiment foreplay; kissing and non-coital physical contact.  Foreplay is an important prelude to copulation; it awakens the body to physical stimulation, in essence activating the body’s natural preparation for intercourse.  The lips and skin are highly sensitive and carry many nerve endings; kissing and touching also brings pleasure to one’s partner.  Both can be a simple greeting, such as shaking hands or the kissing of a child, relative, or friend.  With foreplay kissing and touching can travel the length of the body to provide pleasure.
     Of course there are times when foreplay goes beyond simple kissing and non-coital touching; sexual passions are flamed and full genital contact is the result.  Now the question of how: should the traditional missionary position be chosen or perhaps the female-superior position would be better.  There are many variables that can dictate what sexual position should be used: penetration, pregnancy, sexual difficulties, and sexual sensation are but a few.  The male or female superior positions provide a controlling position, respectively.  Other positions are the lateral or side-entry position and the rear-entry position; both are beneficial in the later stages of pregnancy (Rathus, et. al., 2005).   Each of these four positions offers differing access and penetration of the genitals and should be experimented with to find the position that works best for each individual.
     Self-pleasure in the form of masturbation is learned from a very young age and provides the foundation for expressing personal likes and dislikes with foreplay.  Kissing and touching, foreplay to copulation is usually an expression of tenderness and pleasure to another person and can provide an opening for sexual activity.  Sexual techniques, male superior, female superior, side, or rear-entry are a learning experience that should be experimented with and enjoyed.
