Icon105 The Importance of Foreplay

Traditionally, "foreplay" was considered to be something that a man had to do to get his partner ready for sexual intercourse. Today, foreplay has become an integral part of the whole lovemaking experience.

Three things come to mind:

1.) I completely agree with this.
2.) I am shocked that this came from Fox News, which I thought was too conservative for something like this.
3.) I am not sure what to think of the writer's use of the word "gotta." Somehow it seems less professional.

I think I can safely say that from Day 1 of my first sexual experience I've never seen "foreplay" as a bad thing or something one "has" to do to warm up. Personally I've always thought it was the best part (well, next to the, y'know, end part) and have often preferred having "intercourseless" sexual encounters that were almost all "foreplay" by some definitions. I can't see why any person, male or female, would want to just start humping away then finish, that's probably, to me, one of the least intimate parts. Dunno if this is an attitude that is more generational (I'm 26), or if I'm just weird like that. Then again I guess the article suggests that I'm not that weird, I just don't know why the "traditional" attitude would ever be prevalent.

While the article is kind of funny in its "have you heard of foreplay?" tone, sadly, I've found that both fore and afterplay are kind of still not a given with lots of dudes. Not that I've been with lots of dudes, but having to ask for it is always a bit of a moodkiller.

I am amused by the term "vigilant" being associated with foreplay. Sounds like you have to be careful with those vital essences or something. Only on Fox...

Eternal vigilance is the price of really good nookie.

Well, yeah. Foreplay should be a given in most circumstances, if not nearly all. That's half the fun. If a partner has to ask for it, then that's indicative that (IMO) at the very least the physical part of the relationship really needs to evolve, or at least be discussed.

Granted, there's something fun and visceral about just diving in and banging away at each other, but, IME, that's the exception rather than the rule.

Foreplay without sex, ie making out, is great on its own, much like a good sauce. Not a whole meal, but worth remembering.
