Caresses: whether it's pampering or foreplay, why are they good?

There are many reasons why caresses are good for us and should never be missing in a couple relationship.

And "why during the preliminary caresses couples often use tender words such as" my darling "," baby doll ", «My little one»…, all expressions that could also be used with a child! It is normal and pleasant!

The caresses are a free gift: they want nothing in return, they are not done thinking that they will get something out of it! They are not an investment, a "commercial operation, but an affective gesture. Caresses are precious, in an" age in which everything is bought and sold.

Sexual caresses: where is it more pleasant to caress and be caressed during foreplay?

During love, the preliminary caresses become more and more precise, more sexual. At that point it is necessary to have a certain knowledge of the functioning of one's own body and that of the partner, in order to be able to use them as an instrument to be vibrated melodiously ...

Caresses can be grouped in the erogenous zones in 3 levels:

• I level: it corresponds to an area which, when stimulated, causes orgasm. In men it is the penis (especially the frenulum and the glans) and in women the clitoris and vagina.
  
  
• II level: it corresponds to the zones which, stimulated by caresses, will excite the primary erogenous zones or intensify their arousal. In men, it is the scrotum, inner thighs and the area between the back of the testicles and the anus. In women, it is the vulva, breasts and inner thighs. In both sexes, the nipples are secondary erogenous zones.
  
  
• III level: it covers almost the entire surface of the skin. In fact, the tertiary erogenous zones are those that, when caressed, cause sexual arousal, that is, erection in men and vaginal lubrication in women. The whole skin can have this function. It depends on the moment and on the history of each body. The more the body is pampered, the more the body is pampered, the more sensitive it becomes to such contact, a body that has been injured will react little or negatively to caresses.

When to exchange sexual caresses?

The tertiary erogenous zones, which include the entire surface of the body, can be caressed at any time. They will or will not lead to arousal depending on the emotion associated with the moment. Caresses in the secondary or primary erogenous zones are an invitation to sexuality. They must therefore be practiced in a sexual context.

Level III erogenous zones (body surface) can be stroked during foreplay, just like secondary erogenous zones around the sexual organs. On the contrary, for the sexual organs it is better to wait until the excitement is already strong, or there is the risk that the caress could be perceived as an aggression.

By stroking the primary erogenous zones (penis, clitoris, vagina) during the sexual act, one can increase arousal to orgasm. The erogenous zones near the sexual organs increase pleasure. As for the surface of the body, by caressing it, wide and varied pleasures can be created.

Finally, after orgasm, it is better to avoid touching the sexual organs. In fact, after orgasm they need a little rest before being available again. At that moment caresses can create unpleasant sensations.

Manual love is very important because it allows you to love yourself even in moments when penetration is not possible.
  
  
• With the mouth: The mouth begins its caresses with kisses. In addition to kissing, he can nibble, suck, blow, stimulate with his tongue, lick… He uses his lips, tongue, teeth, saliva. The mouth can deal with the mouth of the other, his face, his body, his sexual organs.
