What is essential during sex?

Asked by Brenna_o (1779points) October 22nd, 2009

Just wondering what you think has to happen when two couples make love to each other, and how long you think that intercourse should last? Personally I think that foreplay is a MUST lol. And a little teasing never hurt anyone (right?) lol.

Kissing. Lots.

For me at this stage in life, the only essential is LOVE. Beyond that, anything goes… from a quickie to an all-night escapade ;-)

Teasing can get very annoying, depends on how you do it though.

SuperMouse's avatar

True, real, deep, passionate love that makes for an intense physical attraction. Foreplay is quite helpful as well.

Essential == Condoms

@eponymoushipster Tissues for when she’s crying??

Samurai's avatar

Hmm, I would say cosplay (like cat ears and tail), but that rarely ever happens, that or food.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@chicadelplaya that’s normal right?

Brenna_o's avatar

@eponymoushipster why would someone cry during sex?

chicadelplaya's avatar

Passion, respect, tenderness…mmmmmm…

dpworkin's avatar

A female companion. For the past 8 years or so, one particular female companion.

chicadelplaya's avatar

@eponymoushipster Ummm, not usually. Well, now that I think about it unless there is something very wrong, or maybe so very right.

Brenna_o's avatar

@chicadelplaya the only time I ever cried was my 3rd time and thats cause my hymen broke… I cried cause it hurt so bad. Yay for being held during sex! lol.

erikaVT's avatar

Two people.

Samurai's avatar

@Brenna_o Ahh, that’s what people mean when they say your going to brake them huh…

eponymoushipster's avatar

@erikaVT at a minimum…

@Brenna_o…uh, 3rd time?

AstroChuck's avatar

Having the lights out. My wife insists upon this when we make love. That doesn’t so much bother me. It’s the hiding that seems so cruel.

erikaVT's avatar

*At least two people.

Brenna_o's avatar

@Samurai lol well sometimes. once its broke though usually when they say “you’ll brake me” is they will submit to you cause they know who is boss. lol
@eponymoushipster yes 3rd. the first two times it didnt go in all the way, and the guy sucked so not much happened lol

chicadelplaya's avatar

@Brenna_o @eponymoushipster I’ve cried sometimes because I wanted to be with someone else, and other times because it felt amazing to be with someone I was in love with, the beautiful intensity of it all!! Oh, and another time I cried from laughing so hard from falling off of the bed! Good times!

Brenna_o's avatar

@chicadelplaya wow! never fell off the bed before lol. How exactly did that one happen? lol

gailcalled's avatar

@Brenna_o: When two couples make love to each other equals four people to me. Not my thing.

Brenna_o's avatar

@gailcalled I meant two people. lol

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

A hand. It can last as short or as long as you want. No pressure. XD

But seriously… what is essential is the love… if you don’t have that it’s just sex… which is good.. don’t get me wrong.. but in no way compares to the alternative.

LuhvKiller's avatar

kissing…i love when my boyfriend whispers in my ear too.

Brenna_o's avatar

@NaturalMineralWater I agree it is better when you can feel the connection between you and your partner.
A hand? I think the real thing is bteer than a hand though lol. Tongue also feels AMAZING! lol

nxknxk's avatar

Probably an orgasm.

Sampson's avatar

My girlfriend’s vagoo and brain.

Brenna_o's avatar

@nxknxk I so agree. An orgasm makes sex so much better! lol
@Sampson brain?

Sampson's avatar

@Brenna_o Well, I prefer her to be conscious during sex.

If we’re having sex, I want her involved (of course). I want her mind in it.

LuhvKiller's avatar

Orgasms go w/o saying although some people never get to experience that…sadly

LuhvKiller's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities if that is not present then you must be about to give it to an alien LOL

XOIIO's avatar

A partner?

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@eponymoushipster If sexing yourself is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Brenna_o's avatar

@eponymoushipster wow! ok got’cha now lol

Haleth's avatar

So many people said love, but nobody said attraction?

HGl3ee's avatar

Love, trust, respect, and a sense of adventure! – LB

whatthefluther's avatar

Unquestionable trust, completely open communication, thorough intimacy and total abandon. Well, that and the elimination of all undesirable distractions (unless of course you are doing it in a semi-public place, which can provide an additional sort of excitement). See ya….Gary/wtf

judochop's avatar

Orgasms and smiles.

cyn's avatar

BCP!
birth control pills

Dr_C's avatar

Arousal…
@Sampson props for “vagoo”
also acceptable: “snizz” and “flying elephant”

Allie's avatar

@Dr_C Hahaha. Really now?

OpryLeigh's avatar

The most essential thing for me is trust.

drClaw's avatar

I know it’s old fashioned, but I like to have 3 cupcakes, one sheet of 50-grit sandpaper, one hose, rubber boots, a single well fed platypus, and a survival blanket with me before I get down.

whatthefluther's avatar

One disposable drop cloth and a pint of baby oil.
See ya….Gary/wtf

wundayatta's avatar

A chainsaw, a half-used tube of toothpaste, and varnish.

aprilsimnel's avatar

Listening for both people, so that they know what the other likes or doesn’t like.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

What’s essential for me, when I have sex, is that we are both into it, that we’re not doing it cause we have to but because we want to, a lot

AstroChuck's avatar

@daloon- You forgot duct tape and a bag of lime.

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Reciprocal desire, not necessarily excitement or energy level because two can’t always be in sync but may still want to please or comfort the other. The desire to be present for each other, that means a lot to me. Duration is so fluid- there are times when a ‘quickie’ is absolutely tremendous and fulfilling whereas several non stop hours become awkward and a bore. If I’m comfortable with my partner then my body can respond rather quickly in orgasms and being female, I can have several of them so length of time isn’t that big a deal for me. If my partner couldn’t manage at least 10 minutes then that there might be an issue. Foreplay is hugely important since I equate it with interest and attentiveness, I like the affirmation a lover of mine is really into sex with me and not just ‘getting off’.

drClaw's avatar

Adult Diapers?

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@Brenna_o You’re absolutely right. The tongue is irreplaceable. That goes both ways. xD

Brenna_o's avatar

@NaturalMineralWater ahh yes tongue is epic. I would not like sex as much with out it lol. (well maybe i would but I would miss the tongue ALOT lol ;))
