Better yet, ask them what feels good, and establish communication of pleasure. Your partner, regardless of genitals, will have a better time, and so will you!
That only works if they actually answer. Sometimes it's just easier to gauge reactions.
Sometimes they can't talk coherently *wink wink*
Communication doesn't need to be verbal - and I'm more talking about setting the precedent for communicating about pleasure as a practice. Being able to communicate about pleasure takes you a lot further in mutual pleasure than having a "trick", yknow?
Yeah well, you said to ask, while the actual point is "listen" (and "feel"), that is what I meant
Well, even if the other person doesn't communicate their answer verbally, you can ask verbally :) it is the most direct way to establish an open pathway for communication.
Yeah my problem in the past has been that they may be embarrassed to answer or just not know what to ask for
For sure, but that's kinds the point in a way, you identify that communication is an issue and you can work on it :3
Completely agree. Communication is the basis of all good relationships and interaction, especially intimate interaction.
