Ways to Create Anticipation and Build Sexual Tension Like a Pro
An extensive list of things to do prior to (or instead of) penetration to make sex even better
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives.

My working title of this article was Penetration is Overrated, until I realized that this wasn’t precisely the message I wanted to convey.
First of all, who am I kidding? I do love a good fuck. So much so that I feel pretty miserable if I go without for too long. During scenes of dragged-out foreplay—which is how I prefer it—I often yearn for it: Experienced similar to a ravenous hunger that must be (full)filled, my whole body longs to hold and circlude my lover.
Therefore, I don’t believe penetration is overrated per se. A more accurate, but too-long alternative to my intended title could be: If you always skip straight to penetration and don’t treat it like the sweet cherry on top that it is, it can be rather ‘meh’… Besides, there’s so much more to sex than PIV (or PIO—phallus in any of the orifices, for the sake of inclusivity).
