First Time Sex: Your Place or Mine?
You’re three Proseccos deep, his hand is on your thigh and your loins are sizzling like a plate of prawn fajitas. You know this date’s going to end with sexy time. There’s just one question: your place or mine?
We’re all about the home-court advantage. Going to a new guy’s house is risky! Sure, he might live in a gorgeous home with an infinity pool and a treadmill. But what if he lives in a freezing basement with a ferret called Scratchy? Here are three reasons you should never go to a dude’s place for first-time effing.
1. The Exit Plan Maybe you realise you don’t want to go all the way, or you notice his bathroom is icky AF. Whatever the reason, if you want to leave, it’ll mean awkwardness and having to make the trek back home. It’s much simpler to ask someone to leave your home. 2. Terrible Decor No way can anyone ever climax in a twin bed facing a Shawshank poster.
3. Fear Factor Everyone meets online, which means all you really know is that he ‘works hard/plays hard’ and once went to Machu Pichu. He could be a murderer or a Nickelback fan for all you know! #FullBodyShivers.
!Help Him Help You!
Not only does it flatter guys to give you pleasure, it also turns us on to see you lose your mind. Which is why we need help navigating your uncharted lady parts. This is never more true than during that first nerve-wracking time in bed. Help us get you there with these cues from Matthew Kassel.
1. Moaning Men are like dogs: dumb and happy to lick you if we’ll be praised. Moaning lets us know we’re doing something right a bone you can toss us for a trick well done.
