Ask 20 Women: What Do You Wish Men Knew About Getting You Off?

Stop the guesswork. Listen to what real women wish you got carried away with and wish you'd stop.

EVEN IF YOU think you're an ace between the sheets, you can always learn a new trick, perfect a technique, or become more attuned to the likes and dislikes of who you're sleeping with. We're constantly speaking with top experts, therapists, and psychologists to present you with the most actionable advice. But, sometimes we like to leave things in the hands of real women. 

When we polled women on their thoughts about foreplay and their least favorite sex positions, the same comments kept rising to the surface. When women gave their input, they'd say 'This is so important. Why don't guys know this?' 

Well, probably because you'd rather not have the awkward conversation outlining all the things you like, dislike, and desperately want to happen in bed. So, here's what a fragment of the female population wishes you knew about getting them off. But, we'd venture to guess there are some pretty universal themes here. Now, before you go put them into practice, go have that "awkward" conversation; use these 5 tips. (Trust us; the lead up is more agonizing then the talk itself. And it'll lead to the best sex of your life.)

"The key to the female orgasm is building anticipation. Tease us. Get us hot and bothered. Don't skimp on foreplay. As a guy, if you can go for round two after about 20 minutes, great. Have her perform oral or get you off first. Then, while you'r recovering, wind her up so when you're ready to have sex, she'll be practically bursting at the seams." -Molly D.

10 Best Sex Positions for Shy Guys >>>

"I like being pushed out of my comfort zone and urged to try something new, but if I'm deadset on not wanting to try something, please let it go. Nothing will turn me off faster than you whining about wanting to do anal... seriously, nothing. Most women would probably be open to easing into things, but most guys don't know how to approach it intelligently. Plus, without easing in that can be seriously painful and nowhere near enjoyable." - Maria D. 

Exercises That Women Love to See Guys do in the Gym >>>

"Let me clue you in on something: Women masturbate, too. We know our bodies better than you do and can probably bring on an orgasm in the fraction of the time it takes you to.

But what will really put us over the edge is the friction of your body on ours." - Melanie R.
