Angel
At times men look for an angel for the heart and a slut in bed. It is clear that it's a sign of confusion, fear of sex and love. Relax and understand that physical pleasure is a divine miracle and love is indispensable.

Anxiety
Men feel anxious because they are afraid that in the end "you won't be willing". Do something to him right away that will leave him without any doubts. In this way, he'll relax and you will both be able to act in a more natural, more human way.

Clitoral Stimulation
We have already said that it makes no sense to indicate a technique. But it is possible to provide a few ideas. Stimulate the clitoris with a fingertip wet with saliva. Stroke it up and down, pressing on it rhythmically (and gently). Take the whole clitoris and the surrounding area between the thumb and forefinger (as if you are giving it a pinch) and gently masturbate it. Stroke it with the middle finger while the forefinger and ring finger stroke along the sides of the large lips. Squeeze the clitoris and the large lips scissors-like. Stimulate the anus and the clitoris while penetrating the vagina with a finger. Apply rotating pressure with the palm of the hand on the whole area. Explore it millimetre by millimetre ever so slowly.

Contraceptives
Women have few fertile days. You can calculate which ones and therefore know when you can make love without taking any precautions. But, in practice, there are sudden changes and special cases, so that only the days of the menstrual period are really safe. You must however keep in mind that sperm can survive for more than 24 hours. The withdrawal method is unsafe because it doesn't prevent emissions of seminal fluid which could be sufficient in any case for fertilization. Even vaginal cleansing and spermicides are unreliable methods.
The IUD (intrauterine device), the diaphragm, the condom and the pill are the only safe methods. The IUD is a small copper coil inserted in the uterus that prevents the egg from effectively settling. If you choose it, make sure that it has a very soft little string as this string remains hanging in the vagina and it can be very annoying for your partner. The diaphragm is instead a little plastic cup or cap that, filled with spermicide covers "the neck of the uterus". In order to make a wise choice, it is worth going to a gynecologist.
If it's your first experience, it's better not to add the fear of an unwanted pregnacy to your anxiety. Obviously, this particularly concerns girls who would be better off starting relationships with the assurance of a couple of months of the pill before moving on to more complex contraceptives.

Coitus
The penis penetrates the vagina. Or, the vagina swallows up the penis.

Disease
The nightmare of the century. And there's not only AIDS, but also syphilis, gonorrhea and "cockscomb", not to speak of fleas and crabs. But things are not as serious as they may seem. Make love without a condom only with your steady partner and convince him to do the same. It's one thing if he is unfaithful to you, but it's worse if he also infects you. Those who can't tolerate the condom should limit themselves to caresses that, unlike all the rest, aren't infective (provided that there aren't any cuts). Remember that hygiene is a fundamental matter. Making love with clean people who have no sores in the genital area is a primary rule of caution.

Dissatisfaction
It seems that the majority of men are dissatisfied with how they make love. If they tried harder, they could improve, but they lack the will power.

Ejaculation
Act of emitting seminal fluid. At times you have an ejaculation without an orgasm (that is, everything functions normally with erection and emission but you don't experience the peak of pleasure. Experts on sex say very little, if anything, about this.

Erogenous Zones
The human being is one whole erogenous zone, from head to toe. Then there are some zones that are more erogenous than others.

Fertilization
The male emits a seminal fluid during orgasm that contains the heroic sperm which, if it ends up inside the vagina, tries to swim up to the uterus and there... zap! It fertilizes the famous female egg. There is no other way to have a baby. Sperm is unable to do anything if it is not put in exactly the right place (inside the cleft).

Finger/Hand Use
Hold in the hand, place your hand on top (or vice versa), stimulate, graze, caress, press, massage, fondle, feel (with the palm of the hand, with the back, with the fingers, with the fingertips), scratch, scrape, claw, rub, titillate, pinch, grasp, constrict, squeeze, pull, stretch, open, explore, handle.

Fraenum
The sliding skin of the penis that gathers under the glans, forming a sort of thin thread. This joining more or less represents the area of greatest sensitivity. Some men have a very delicate or 'short' fraenum, a fact that prevents the skin from sliding down, leaving the glans exposed. This can cause coition problems and risks of painful and bloody tearing. If you have similar problems, it is necessary to undergo a surgical operation. (For this rather common problem and to facilitate hygiene, some people resort to circumcision; that is, the removal of the part of the skin that covers the glans: the prepuce).

Games
Playing and laughing are two fundamental things in sex and in life. Unfortunately, sexual games can't be learned from books. They are to be invented each time in a different way depending on the days, situations, desires and love affairs. Playing blindfold, playing at doctors, having a bath, following each other, strip-teasing, pretending to sleep, covering each other with whipped cream, touching each other everywhere but there, dressing up as pirates, playing spin the bottle, expressing a wish, taking turns being the slave, feeding each other, looking at each other, using an icicle, cream, fruit, a hot wet towel, a feather, puffing from a straw, passing champagne from mouth to mouth, tickling each other, painting each other, taking photos of each other, doing it at the movies, in the elevator, on the train.

G-spot
The mythical G-spot, discovered by the Americans a little before the landing on the moon, a miraculous place of vaginal pleasures. Repeated and colossal orgasms. It is located in the upper part of the vagina. By slowly inserting a finger, with your fingertip turned towards her belly, you will find half way - between the opening of the divine hole and its depth - a slight depression, just as big as a fingertip. By stroking this spot with a circular movement, you obtain pleasurable sensations. Not all women however go wild about this "G"-spot. It's worthwhile anyway conducting a survey. If you find a girl who has a very sensitive G-spot, she'll be very happy about it.

Hermaphrodites
A human being equipped with complete, perfect and functional sex organs doesn't exist and never has. What exists are legends, photomontages, prostheses and some cases of abnormal development of the clitoris and the large lips or cases of malformation that may create illusions. The rest is nonsense. No one has ever succeeded in impregnating himself.

Homosexuality
There are those who at times prefer the same sex. This may happen. If it doesn't happen to you, don't worry about it. If it happens, don't worry about it. The only danger is if it becomes a source of anguish. And anyway, even the other sex has its positive sides. We are made in two different ways precisely so that we can love each other better.

Hygiene
Hygiene is essential in sex. Not to smell, not to have bad breath, not to go off with others when you have contagious infections these are simple matters of civilisation and good taste. Washing yourself carefully after sex, especially with occasional partners is indispensable (use special bacterial but not irritating soaps). It is absolutely essential to wash yourself after anal sex too or when you have a period. Another fundamental rule of hygiene is never to penetrate the vagina after anal penetration because this can cause vaginal infections. If you find rashes, swelling and sores in the genital area, see a doctor right away.
A strong itching in the pubic area can instead mean crabs. Small insects, like little spiders. They appear as a prominent little stain at the base of a hair and are detected as microscopic 'transparent little pearls' (eggs) stuck among the hair. To eliminate crabs, use a special soap and powder. The operation should be repeated a couple of times, scrupulously following the time interval between one application and the other suggested by the manufacturing company.

Irritations of the Glans
The skin of the glans is very delicate. In fact, the 'sliding' skin of the shaft covers the tip of the penis that is almost always protected and is very sensitive. (Circumcised men don't have this sliding strip of skin. Their glans is always exposed and therefore less sensitive). At times rashes can be caused by sexual rubbing or clothing. Lubricating with balsamic oil or cream can be of some use. Even the essential oil of lavender gives good results, but it burns a little. These irritations may cause burning after contact with the secretions of the vulva. Often this is due to poor hygiene or to the habit of not drying the penis carefully after washing. Too much moisture in fact fosters these irritations. Dry yourself with care.

Lubrication
Smoothness goes hand in hand with pleasure. Lubricating is at times a good way to make touching pleasant. Generally, it is more pleasurable to be touched in the sensitive areas if they have been well lubricated. This is particularly true for penetration. You must wait for her to become wet or, if you can't resist, wet her with saliva or with something else that is lubricous and appropriate (non-irritating, that is). Don't use petroleum-base lubricants. They are carcinogenic.

Latin Lover
Is a man who has had three thousand women a super macho? No, he's impotent. He lacks the capacity to desire sex for more than an hour. It's crazy. He's all right the first time, then he's no big deal. It's after the hundredth night of sex that you get to know each other a bit. Whoever has sex with a woman just once is missing out on the best.

Menstruation
Approximately every 28 days the woman is fertile for about 2 or 3 days. That means that an egg is ready to be fertilized (in the uterus). Every 28 days the non-fertilized egg is expelled with a small loss of blood that lasts a few days. Then a new egg is released from the ovaries and takes its place in the uterus.
Menstruation starts around the age of 11-15 and ends at the age of 45-50.

Minors
Periodically, weekly magazines are very interested in the fantasies and sexual practices of minors. This helps sell more newspapers.

Oral Variety
Sucking, stroking with the lips or with the tongue, licking, suckling, slurping, biting, blowing a raspberry, breathing in, puffing, spraying with sounds (vibrational sexuality), warming in the mouth, squeezing in the mouth.

Penetration
We have said that doing it slowly is better and remaining still is wonderful. We have talked about contact between the man's pubis and the woman's clitoris and of the circular movements made with the penis inside instead of the usual in and out movements (the position of the cat). One more thing can be said: when making love we focus too much attention on the genital area. Try instead to copulate with your whole body. Try making every part of you come into contact with every part of your partner. Touch each other with your feet, legs, chest, arms, hands and face. Accompany pelvic movements with your whole body, rubbing against each other smoothly and gently. In this way sex becomes an all-embracing experience. Pleasure moves from the genital area to the rest of the body. Movement and warm skin against warm skin increases the number of sensations, becoming a box of orgasmic resonance. Feeling energy being released in every cell.

Penis Size
If it is smaller than 3 centimetres when erect it is very small. If it is longer than 24, it is very big. Around 10-20 is normal. In all three cases, you are able to give complete pleasure to a woman, providing that you are sensitive and know how to love.

Perversions
There are millions of ways of making love. There are those who love it regularly, those who love it gay, those who love anal sex, wild sex, group sex, there are those who are fetishistic, sado-maso, the show-off, the cerebral, the complicated... There are those who collect lovers, those who collect underwear, those who want to do it in all the Kamasutra positions, and those who are only able to do it in the elevator... There are those who simply want to try everything in life. I believe that everyone is free to have fun as he or she wishes and that being moralistic is stupid. I believe, however, that to try everything is impossible. There's no time: you live only once. You must however choose at least one route to explore. I believe that in the end the simple things satisfy us the most. Hugging, touching, kissing, rubbing, and fucking are an immense territory to travel in and explore.
If you really go wild for perverse little games, enjoy them without feeling guilty, just don't harm anyone. However, between one perversion and another, treat yourself to a more homely game: a shampoo, a little cat, a massage, and a footbath. It's not "Basic Instinct" stuff, but I guarantee you that when your feet are relaxed and happy, you feel great (especially if you have worn shoes with 15 centimetre heels and studded boots all day). Experience the greatness of the primary sensations. Do only what you really like doing and do it to the full.

Pornography
That seen in movies and magazines is generally an exultation of the ramrod. Technically, the sex practised in them is a mad slamming of sexual organs. Stuff that just reduces you to pulp. Pleasure is something else.

Post-coitus Depression
Type of malaise that affects those who have not fully enjoyed making love. For many it's the rule and there are those who still maintain even today that it is a physiological matter. Nonsense!
If a person is comfortable with sex, after an orgasm he/she has a period of ecstatic abandon and physical, psychic and emotional relaxation, followed by a state of gentle euphoria during which you often have intuitions, ideas, imaginings and flashes of inspiration. In the end, you fall asleep, you sleep magnificently, or else for a while you enjoy a state of psychophysical vitality and well-being.

Prostitutes
Many are convinced that prostitutes are very good at making love. Wrong. Prostitutes generally do everything badly and in a hurry.

Sensitive Spot
Under the glans, in the lower part of the penis starting from the fraenum is the spot utmost sensitivity in the penis. This spot is so rarely taken into consideration that there isn't a name for it in the English language. We have decided to call it "Arthur".

Sexual Violence
Whoever commits an act of violence is incapable of feeling sexual pleasure. It's a peculiar form of male frigidity that leads to an aggressive neurosis that doesn't provide pleasure but only paranoiac satisfaction. More than being criminals, they are sick men who suffer in a disturbing way from emotional impotence and mental and physical insensitivity. I'm against violence, but I believe that if you catch them in the act, it is impossible to resist the instinct to kill them instantly. They commit an irreparable crime against life and love.

Sodomy
Anal penetration. Condemned by the church. Some people like it enormously and in fact at times it is pleasurable. It is also delightful at times to be touched in the surrounding areas while you are doing other things.

Suspense
Women love suspense, waiting. Wait, simmer them on a low fire, stop, wander, wait for them to be the ones to implore you. You need to be patience and to have nerves of steel. (Petrus Boonekamp, for the man who never has to ask).

The Position of the Cat
She underneath, he on top. His pubis is placed with all his weight on her clitoris, (the man does not support himself with his arms, he lies completely on her body. fig. 1). There is no in and out, only rotating, horizontal, vertical or crosswise movements. In this way, the penis "plunges" in the vagina without ever coming out, not even by a millimetre. Every now and then you stop and savour the simple contact. Or you move by massaging each other, rubbing with your body against your lover's body. Or only she moves, from underneath, swinging herself like a ship as he lets himself be rocked inert. Divine. Especially on a water bed because it accentuates the slow swinging and favours co-penetration and body to body contact.

Virgin
A person who has never had sexual intercourse that involves penetration. Virgin girls have a membrane called the hymen that tears the first time. Sometimes this involves a small loss of blood. Long ago in some Italian regions, it was a custom to expose the sheet stained with blood at the window the first day after the wedding. This gesture meant that the bride was a virgin and the man virile. It was certainly an extremely idiotic custom, above all because:
1. Many women don't have the hymen or it's so fine that the rupture doesn't involve a bleeding tear. Many others tear the hymen involuntarily by touching or washing themselves.
2. If a man acts with a bit of care, and having lubricated the opening with saliva or other, he can very well attain a defloration without pain or bleeding. Finally, why do you have to have yourself deflowered the first time? Why not prolong this emotional experience? Do it a little at a time, to be continued. Insert it a bit until the hymen stretches, and then remain like this enjoying this beginning without inserting it further. Do this a couple of times and arrive at complete penetration only after a few days. There will be more suspense, more waiting and more pleasure. From a technical point of view, the ideal position to obtain a painless defloration is with the girl lying on her back and a few pillows under her buttocks. This way you can get the ideal angle between the genitals. If instead the rupturing of the hymen during sex scares you, you could very well do it by yourself with a finger.

Zen
Relax, abandoning yourself to sensations, to perceptions. Listening in love the long cosmic symphony.
