How Long Should Foreplay Last: Everything You Need to Know
"How long should foreplay last?" is a question we all have wondered about at some point. Foreplay, also known as outercourse, can be nibbling your partner's earlobes, sucking or biting their neck, letting your fingers go to town on their body, or even sexting them. It is the build-up of sexual tension, it's the turn-on, it's the fuel to the fire.
We Cannot Overstate The Importance Of Foreplay (It's About The Journey, Not The Destination)
Foreplay is a concept that's often misunderstood. While everyone is familiar with the word, not everyone really understands what foreplay is or how essential it is to the sexual experience. This is because far too many people don't really have the basic knowledge as to how the anatomy works — especially the anatomy of those with vulvas. On average, people with vulvas need up to 20 minutes to become fully aroused, while those with penises can be fully aroused in just a matter of minutes. But while this may be the case, foreplay often takes a backseat to other sex acts.
