He gets close every time you try. I interpret that as you are using various techniques that he really enjoys, but then maybe you opt for a different technique or vary its pace. These changes can quickly take a guy from the verge of reaching an orgasm to simply enjoying the sensation. Of all the...

What you're asking about is most typically called female ejaculation (even though not everyone with a vulva identifies as female, nor does everyone who identifies as female have a vulva), and often colloquially called "squirting." Before I say anything else, I want to say these four things first: 1)...

Orgasms will tend to last anywhere from a few seconds to less than a minute for most people, most of the time. Orgasms for people with vaginas often tend to last a bit longer than orgasms for people with penises -- but for people of all genders, we're still talking within an average of a few seconds...

Obviously, this is more of a personal judgment call than anything else. But personal ethics and the integrity of a relationship (as well as your own integrity) aside, you are likely to have some practical problems with not being truthful about faking and then expecting the sex to improve. I have to...

(Anonymous' question continued) Then again, my partner isn't much of a foreplay person until recently. And I get shy or extremely embarrassed when he go down on my you know... I mean I like it, whatever he is doing down there, but I always tend to push him away after due to my embarrassment. I found...
